Another busy week in Primary 6/5…

In our literacy this week we have been continuing to focus on our persuasive writing. We were asked the question: Should fidget spinners be allowed in school? We had discussions and thought about the arguments for and against and started planning our response using mind maps and burger plans. There were some great points made! We have started reading the BFG as our class novel. We used Hot Seating to ask witnesses about what they saw when Sophie was kidnapped! We also made and painted giants based on the description we heard in the story.

 

In maths we have been busy working on rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and even 1000s. Some of us have been exploring odd and even numbers. We’ve enjoyed playing lots of games on the interactive whiteboard. We really like playing this game (click to view) to help us with our estimating work. Some of us managed to get it exactly right! Have a go at home!

In P.E we are focusing on the skills of working together effectively as a team. We took part in different challenges to help our communication skills…
