Take a Peek at our Week- It’s Halloween

This week in Primary 6 we continued to read our class novel Wonder, we found out about ‘Precepts’ and how they are rules for life. We liked the precept – ‘WHEN GIVEN THE CHOICE ABOUT BEING RIGHT OR BEING KIND CHOOSE KIND’ . We also liked ‘YOUR DEEDS ARE YOUR MONUMENTS’. We talked about how we could apply these precepts to our own lives. We also completed our reports on ‘Treacher Collins’ syndrome and began to create our Sways…we found out how to put sound bars on our Sways. In Maths we found out how to use doubling and halving strategies to help us in Multiplication. We also investigated quadrilaterals. On Friday we dressed up for Halloween and created our own Halloween pictures.
