Primary 6 have been perfecting their poetry skills this week by creating alliteration poems. We have continued to develop our money skills looking at deals that are value for money. We have been researching European landmarks, flags and currencies. We found this website a fun way to become more familiar with the geography of Europe: https://online.seterra.com/en/vgp/3286?c=J8PS7 We have been thinking about our personal achievements and the energy we get from food in Health and Well-Being.

Online Learning in Primary 6
Our first week of online learning in Term 2 in Primary 6 and we were offered a variety of learning opportunities to develop our skills across the curriculum. Our numeracy focus was using money budgets and making price comparisons. We used our knowledge of doubles and near doubles to find solutions in Number Talks. In Literacy we had fun creating our own limericks and using a rhythm pattern. In preparation for the Euroquiz we researched various aspects of European capital cities. As you can see we used different methods to complete our work and upload it to our teachers.
Europe in a nutshell
Article 28
We have a right to an education
Last term Primary 6 learned all about Europe. We split into different countries, so we could find out about one country in depth, then share our findings with the rest of the class. We then decided to open up our classroom as a Trade Fare and present to other classes. It was all very interactive, with exploding volcanoes, board games, language lessons, songs and even cake and chocolate!
Quality Discussion
Article 12
You have the right to an opinion and for it to be listened to and taken seriously.
Primary 6 have been demonstrating their quality communication skills. As part of our new Social Subjects topic, we are all working in groups to learn about different countries in Europe. In order to complete the challenge, we have to share our ideas, listen to each other and make sure that everyone in the group has their say and is participating – the discussion tokens help us do this.
We visited the library this week to get some books to help us and are looking forward to persuading our parents to visit out country during our open exhibition after the Easter holidays.
