Progress in Primary 6

Leave a comment

Another week completed in Primary 6 with lots of new knowledge. We used our skills in area to plan a playground. We started work on mulitples and researching the mathematician, Eratosthenes.

We thought about our emotions and how they affect our body along with a focus on our mental well-being.

We continued to develop our skills in reading for information with a focus on Scottish squirrels and experienced writing another style of poetry, Diamante poetry.

Our Scottish poems from last week were sent to the website, Scots Hoose. Author and poet, Matthew Fitt was very impressed with our poems and said : They are braw, gallus and just pure brilliant. I had a great time reading them.

As a thank you he sent us a video reading of ‘The Eejits’ by Roald Dahl. What a treat!

Perfect Poetry in Primary 6

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

Leave a comment

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.

Spring has sprung!

Leave a comment

Primary 2a were looking at the signs of spring and then wrote an acrostic poem together on our laptop on no pen day!
spring

Spring is the season when baby animals are born.

Prickly hedgehogs come out of their deep sleep.

Rabbit babies are called kittens.

Insects crawl out of their hiding places and butterflies flutter their wings.

Now the weather is starting to get nicer.

Green buds and leaves start to grow on the trees.
