Remote and Class Learning P7/6 and P7

Another busy week both in the classroom and at home. Linking to our Scottish Tourism context both classes have been using their research skills to learn about Scotland.  They have been looking at its culture, landmarks and Geography. Using their knowledge of different genres they created a poster demonstrating how Loch Lomond was formed. We were impressed with the variety of media used to display their findings.

In Literacy we have made curricular links with our RME context of Carnival. We looked at using Higher Order Thinking skills to create 6 different question types from a piece of text on Festivals from around the world. We also looked at how to create an effective summary, identifying what the key ideas of a text are. Using these skills, the classes then went on to complete a reading comprehension effectively extracting the main points of the text.

In Maths we continued with our concept of area looking at both the area of compound shapes and of right angled triangles. Well done to all of those of you who went on to attempt the challenge activities; very impressive!

Keep up the hard work everybody, you are doing a great job!

Jaysiel wrote a fantastic middle to her imaginative story with capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. She also used connectives and wrote great descriptions. Well done Jaysiel:)

 

Max worked hard to calculate the missing addends in Numeracy this week. He did a great job counting on to work out the answers. Well done for working hard on this Max and for creating some of your own missing addend problems.

 

Ollie worked hard on this magic e roll, write and read task. You worked hard Ollie and you managed to write and read some new magic e words too. Well done!

 

This is Evie’s creative approach to this week’s STEM challenge. It has been amazing seeing everyone working so hard to be creative with these challenges every week. This week, we had to build a bridge using construction or any other materials at home. Well done for thinking outside the box Evie! It looks like your bridge was definitely strong enough for Nala to stand on. Fantastic work!

 

Keep up your hard work everyone. Have a lovely weekend and I will see you all on Monday:)

This week in P4

Hi everyone,

This week in P4 we have been learning how to write a discussion text and looking at the skills involved in this. We have worked on clarifying in our reading roles and looked at questions we would ask characters. We were able to retell stories through our reading task. In Maths this week we have focused on column addition and using written methods to solve number calculations.

We have continued to look at different foods and customs from around the world in our health lessons and it was great to see so many interesting menus that were made.

We are working on our current topic of The Celts and have been researching all about their houses, clothing and jewellery this week amongst other things.
