As the P6s are both involved in the P5-7 show, we have begun to look at playscripts through Literacy.
For spelling practise this week, they had to create their ow script using their spelling words.
In writing, whilst working with a partner, they carried on the next scene from a traditional fairytale. The success criteria the pupils decided for themselves was:
I can use appropriate punctuation (brackets, commas, colons, question marks, exclamation marks, full stops and capital letter)
I can sequence my script correctly and ensure it makes sense.
I can give the actor stage directions.
I can use descriptive vocabulary (adjectives, connectives and adverbs).
Next week, they will start to play their own play and then create a playscript to accompany this.
Primary 6 has started their new Maths topic – Time. We have been developing our knowledge of rounding to time ourselves doing various challenges and then rounding these to either:
nearest minute
nearest second (with minutes)
nearest tenth of a second (with minutes and seconds)
We will then compare our results and order these times.
Primary 2 pupils have been learning what Division means, understanding sharing into equal groups, repeated subtraction and dividing using a number line. Primary 1 pupils have been learning the difference between 14 and 40, 15 and 50 etc as well as working on teen numbers; different ways to make the numbers as well as the numbers before and after.
Here is the section of the script we are going to use to audition people who would like a main part in our upper school play. Choose one character from the section given and practice their part.
