What a fantastic week we had!

We learnt to many things about recount writing by working together.  Our teacher gave us text samples of each feature of the text and we had to work as group to classify them into Title, Orientation, Sequence of Events and Personal comment.

We also assessed and our own as well as our peer’s recount writing.  We are getting better at giving feedback based on our success criteria.

 

For Numeracy, we learnt to use partition strategy for addition.  We also identified the value of digits within a number.  We are up to the Thousands now.   For Maths, we created 2D shapes using popsicle sticks.  We named the shapes and talked about it’s properties.

MM- This week we learnt about how to do a recount writing.  The purpose is to retell an event. We started writing about Our First Day Back at School.

DN- We learnt place value.  I know that I need 10 1000s to make 10,000.

SA- I learned using clues on the front cover of a book to make a prediction of the story.

HK- In PE, we were learning to bounce the ball on a racket without dropping it.

 

We had a great week getting to know each other.  We played lots of games to help us get to know our teacher and our new class.

We also began to read our class novel and made predictions on what might happen next.  We worked together to create our class charter too.   Overall, our week has been fantastic!

SW- I enjoyed my first week in school because we did lots of art!  I liked doing the addition and subtraction emojis.

 

 

Thank you to all the parents/ guardians and most especially to all the P7/6 pupils.  You have all been amazing and I could not be more proud of all your achievements this session!  You have all shown resilience and determination!  Well done!

As a a class, we had to say goodbye to our P7 peers.  It had been a pleasure to be working and learning alongside you! We wish you good luck and an amazing time in High school.

I hope you have  a well deserved summer holiday! Take care everyone and stay safe 🙂

Numeracy- We did Fibonacci Sequence and Number sequences

E.g.- 1,1,2,3,5,8

Literacy- We did a spelling test Term 3 And dictation

We did foreshortening,  emphasizing our hands and feet for art.

For P.E we did football And rounders without the bat and ball but we used our football.

MG-  I enjoyed writing a Science Fiction story this week.  We have been working if adding adjectives, onomatopoeia, similes and conjunctions in our writing to make it a good story.

For PE, we played a new game. It’s like rounders but instead of using bat and ball, we use football to kick it.

In Numeracy and MathsWe learned to create triangular and square numbers.    We also revised on area and perimeter.  We also identified various 3D shapes.

Here is an excerpt of a sci fi narrative written by a group of P7/6 this week.

He angrily charged through the rusty metal floor while screaming and clenching his rigid, rough fists.  Running with his narrowing bloodshot eye. His red eyes matched his jumpsuit as he grew more furious . Looking like he wanted to execute someone.

He started to slowdown  as the electronic doors blew up.  He walked out with a deadly look on his face.  Meanwhile, trees busted out of the ceiling, lifting baby Groot back to Earth.
