This week in p6 we have been learning multiples and factors in maths. We also did artwork to depict the Blitz or propaganda posters, it was really FUN!!!

We also did outdoor learning where  we toasted marshmallows which were really good. We had so much fun, we got sticks and sharpened them and put the marshmallows on them, we then knelt  and toasted them it was an amazing.                 ‘

Later we watched an online assembly about gender awareness and bullying with the NSPCC and  childline, it was very interesting.  We learned a lot about childline and we learnt the different problems you could get stuck in,  Ant and Deck introduced the assembly at the start which was amazing.   Mrs Clyne also discussed with us  LGBT+, everyone learnt a lot!

We tried the twelve days of Christmas song, but we did it in sign language.

We have also been learning  about calculating  area of a right angle triangle.

We made identity cards as part of our WWII topic.  We have been warned that we need to carry them all of the time!  Mrs Smith in outdoor learning helped us think about what was and was not here in Livingston at the time of the war as we began to develop our map reading skills.

Madam Moore revised colours with us in French and we had to describe an object by its colour.

In number talks we have been learning about coin multiplication which is a lot of fun and does make some multiplication sums easier.

We have started to explore Christmas in RME and this week focused on Christmas traditions and where they came from.

Today was our last day of bike-ability and we rode our bikes around a roundabout and did all the indicators with our hands.  The best part is that the instructors told us we had done well and listened, and gave us lollies and sweets.

We have also been doing line graphs in maths, plus we have been asked to do a research project about a WWII topic of our choice.  We have till 2 of December to complete it, it has to be between 500 to 700 words or it’s not complete!

In literacy we are writing a persuasive essay about having phones in the upper school, if they should or shouldn’t be allowed in school. We said they should be allowed because  it would be fun but we will come up with more reasons about why we should or shouldn’t be allowed.

One of the highlights this week was practising our discussion skills.  Remembering to listen was difficult when we had so much to say and wanted to share our opinions.  The topics were fun such as ‘Blue is a special colour.’ ,   ‘We do not need oceans.’ ,  ‘Ten is not a real number.’ and It is important to have something to believe in.’We had to remember to listen to others so we could respond, and we had to try and think up different responses and ideas.

We enjoyed maths and our teachers really made us think about how we get to an answer.

We learned about coding this week and created some animations, it was fun and can’t wait to do it again.

We went outside to revise our knowledge of nouns and proper nouns with a alphabet scavenger hunt.  The letter x, y and z were really hard.
