Thank you to everyone who came along and supported the Big Breakfast on Friday morning. There was a brilliant turnout and it was wonderful seeing our school community enjoying a chat with each other. A perfect way to start the weekend.
Your donations raised £57.45 for the STV Appeal which we will be posting off this week.
Congratulations to our school ski team ‘A’ who came 4th out of 12 teams at the recent competition held at Hillend. This is a vast improvement on their 9th position last year!
There were some personal time improvements made for 3 boys in particular:
To extend their writing skills, P6 looked at examples of character descriptions written by Roald Dahl. They then identified what writing skills needed to be included: adjectives, adverbs and descriptive phrases.
Working in their register classes, they brainstormed ideas for their class novel character. From this, they were able to write an opening paragraph to describe the main character’s personality. They had to ensure they used their inferential skills to provide descriptions about the character.
Watch this space for the final pieces of writing.
In Maths this week we have been continuing to learn about place value with numbers beyond one million.
We have been:
– spelling the numbers accurately in words
– partitioning numbers
– developing our knowledge of creating friendly numbers
– create numbers beyond hundred thousands with flash cards
– recognising missing numbers within tens of thousands
P6 have been revisiting stratagems for spelling. We have been focusing on identifying the syllables within a word. Working with a partner, they had to use the musical instruments to sound out the syllables. It made for a very noisy classroom!
