\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A lovely week for Primary 6 where they met and spent quality time reading stories to their buddies who are about to start school in August.\u00a0 We also planned a healthy lunch for our buddy as part of Fitness Fortnight. We had to think very carefully about the nutrition and the flavours that would appeal to our new friends.<\/p>\n

Lots of new skills were introduced this week too. In Numeracy we were learning how to work out percentages and how they relate to fractions and decimals. We made our own compass and then used them to follow directions to discover treasure that had been hidden in the classroom !<\/p>\n

In Literacy we were developing the skills of skimming and scanning to discover facts about Stonehenge. We also used a picture cue to write mystery story about a creature with huge tentacles! We also created a discussion piece of writing debating the arguments for and against shorter lunchtimes. The outcome ? The majority decided to opt for lunchtimes that had no changes.\u00a0 We looked at the AR results and had two AR Rockstars for the month of May. Our first Rockstar had a pass average of 97% and our second Rockstar passed 32 tests.<\/p>\n

In outdoor learning we tried out the ‘Shake a Tree’ method to find some tree dwelling mini-beasts and identify them using our ID sheets. Our first creature found was a weevil.<\/p>\n

Finally, we planned our outdoor learning day for next week together. We are looking forward to learning some new skills using nature, water and fire !!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
