P6 Learning Update
This week, the primary 6s have been moving onto money problems in Maths. They are developing their knowledge of the decimal point when used with money as well as developing their mental calculation strategies in order to quickly calculate.
Within Literacy, they are developing their knowledge about adverbial phrases and how they can use a comma to include this technical skills in their own writing. Some of them made good attempts to include some adverbial phrases in their character description about ‘the Water Kelpie’.
Finally, through HWB, the pupils have been revisiting the UNCRC articles and exploring examples of where children’s rights are not being upheld. This week, we will be revisiting our school values and linking these to our new rules: be ready, be respectful, be safe. From here they will redesign the school charter; look out for it the next time you are in!

Well done to Phoebe, Izzy, Euan and Lewis who represented our school at the West Lothian Swim Heats on Sunday. Their swimming was excellent and, for some of them, personal bests were achieved!!
What have we been learning
This week we have been looking at life cycle’s of different vertebrates and invertebrates in IDL. For example a preying mantis is an invertebrate because it does not have a spine. Other groups created lifecycle wall displays on sloths, spiders, birds, frogs, crabs, fish and snakes. We have been using money in maths, as well as learning division strategies. We also started our enterprise topic for the christmas fair thinking about what materials we will need and what a quality product looks like.
