Fun was had at our very first After School Lego Club this week. We had Lego sets of an aircraft, turtle, squirrel and more being built. Some very creative children also built their own models. Check back in the next few weeks when they will describe their models to us.
Learning in P6
An Explanation
We have been looking at the Explanation Genre. This genre explains how or why something happens. We decided to link our Literacy to our current IDL context of Natural Disasters.
We also used our ICT skills by researching a Natural Disaster of our choice. We created notes in our first draft. We then looked at the features and layout of an Explanation and used this and the genre targets to improve our final draft, ensuring it included all the elements of the genre such as

P3A Learning
This week we’re learning to tell the time. Some of us used Play Dough to create the hands of a clock to tell o’clock & half past times. Others tested each other telling quarter past & quarter to using the clock faces. Some were working on changing between analogue & digital times. We also used the laptops to test our knowledge.
This week we started learning to use questions marks. First we practiced writing them, then we had to think about question words. Next we looked at a picture and worked with a random partner to come up and write down questions about it. Lastly we became Question Mark Detectives and hunted for question marks in our reading books.
In Art we thought about the colours of leaves we see just now and then created Autumn pictures.

P3A Learning
Last week we were learning to use the element of line to draw what we see. We looked closely at a leaf and thought about the shape of it and the lines of the veins. We then drew its outline and tried and copy where all the lines were. Next we looked at the leaf again to see what colours were needed. We thought about light and shadow and shaded our leaf picture so it looked as close the real one as possible.
