Primary Six pupils had a music assessment this week. They were asked to sing in tune and clap in rhythm. Many of our Primary Six pupils are hoping to be selected to play a musical instrument.

In Mental Maths we have focused on developing the strategy of rounding to the nearest multiple of ten to add on or subtract a number, e.g. 49 + 11 or 76 + 9 =.  Dean thought this strategy was fun and Lara said it is an efficient strategy for solving problems.

On Thursday night, we had a Rookie Rockstars concert. We hope you enjoyed the concert and managed to order our CD.

In reading, we were learning about how to summarise a text. We learnt through reading about the rainforests, that tribal people harvest the plants and they help to keep the ecosystem healthy.

One of the challenges we completed this week was to make up an A-Z list of rainforest creatures.

On Wednesday afternoon, the pupils got to choose a careers masterclass to learn more about what it would be like to be in a specific job in the future. The jobs ranged from Archaeologist, Animal Welfare Inspector, an Engineer, Graphic Designer, Farming and Police Officer.  The main theme we gained from the masterclass is that we can be whatever we want to be!   We need to try hard to achieve our goals!
