What have P6 been up to this week?

Health 

This week we talked about cyber bullying and discussed strategies to help deal with this.

P.E.

Dance – This week we continued to practise our Hip Hop dancing skills.

Rounders – We practised throwing and catching skills first then we practised our batting skills. We worked as a team to build up points then we played competitive matches.

Literacy

In group reading we read our novels and then practised our prediction skills.

Numeracy

We practised using various mental strategies to efficiently divide a 3 digit number by a 1 digit number.

In addition we also practised dividing numbers by 10, 100 or 1000. This meant some of our answers were decimals.

Topic/ Literacy

We researched extinct and endangered living organisms from Scotland.

Katie – I found out otters hold hands when they sleep.

Emily – I enjoyed finding out about the mammoth and woolly rhinoceros even though they were extinct a long time ago.

Outdoor Learning

Katie – We put soil in plant pots and moved the planters.

Alexis – We moved the pallets and we are making them into fake cars for the younger children.

Coding

This week we learnt how to write block code which increased/ decreased the speed of an object.
