This week’s Blog has been written by some of our pupils, well done for a wonderful report.

 

P6 St.Nicholas Blog

In p6 we had a very busy week.

Maths

We played three different math games like Dice Predictions, Lucky Numbers and Football Data. In all of these games we were learning to sort and handle data using Tally and Frequency charts( (.

Number Talks

In Number Talks we had 3 options (Hot, Spicy or Mild) and we had to pick one and work it out showing 3 to 4 different subtraction strategies.

Literacy

We did Guided Reading, Literacy Circle Roles, Independent Reading and Discussion Group work .

We continued to look at writing an informative report. We were looking at using the proper structure, Then we planned and wrote a report about Saint Nicholas.

 

Health and Wellbeing

P6 had P.E with Mr. Muldoon, we were continuing to learn about the game of badminton and we practised these tactics in games.  We are also starting to learn Scottish Country Dancing. We continued to practise ‘Strip the Willow’ and our next dance to learn will be ‘ The Gay Gordons’.

We also continued to work on our Zones of Regulation program.

 

We had Science with Mrs Quinn and we had Problem Solving with Mrs Heather (we used the IZAK 9 cubes – they are so much fun).

In Art, we looked at shading to create a 3D object. We did a pencil drawing in our Snapshot Jotters and then we did an oil pastel still-life of the Advent Wreath.

Next week, we are attending Mass, celebrating the Feast Day of St. Nicholas, so this week we have been learning all about him. We have also been participating in some hymn practice.

In Spanish we worked in groups to make a movie about Spanish classroom instructions. We then posted our movies into the P6 TEAMS.

 

Miss McCormack and Mrs Kilpatrick wish you all a lovely weekend.
