Primary 6 Weekly Blog Post

Good afternoon,

This week in Primary 6 we have been learning about the festival of Hanukkah with Mrs McConville. We created a Menorah handprint to represent the eight-day Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

Today, Ola took on the role of the class teacher where she was sharing her knowledge of the Polish language. She taught us how to say the alphabet alongside some basic greetings. We loved having her as our modern languages teacher!

In Literacy, we spent time planning and writing a persuasive letter in support of refugees. We are looking to draft these into a letter format and send them to Boris Johnson to see if he can provide more support for refugees coming over to the UK.

Blog Post – Primary 6

Today we took part in various activities to show our support of Children in Need.

We learned about the history of Children in Need through a literacy based task, which provided us with the knowledge to create a quiz for our classmates and adults at home.

During our smart start, we were given the opportunity to create a t-shirt in support of Children in Need where we were able to show our creativity.

We took part in a Dance-a-thon alongside Primary 7 pupils using our outdoor area. We enjoyed showing off our dance moves. We were lucky enough to have our very own judge helping us score some of the dances too!

Primary 6’s Amazing Week of Work

Dear parents/carers,

We would like to share our learning from this week with you. We have had a fantastic week where we have worked hard to demonstrate the school values.

In Numeracy, we have been learning how to find the value of each digit in a 5 or 6 digit number. We have also been extending our knowledge of place value where we participated in various active maths activities such as Place Value Castle and Cards.

In Literacy, we have been exploring our new class novel, The Boy at the Back of the Class and focusing on our different spelling patterns. We have learned about the features of a persuasive piece of writing and taken part in a class game of Countdown.

We have also been introduced to our new piece of writing for this term, which is an exposition. We explored the purpose and audience for this type of text and we are looking forward to getting started.

In PE, we had our first lesson on Volleyball and Badminton with both Miss Walkingshaw and Mrs McConville.
