Literacy
This week we have taken home our Scots Poems to learn for the whole school recital. We chose from a selection of 3 poems and Miss Anderson is really looking forward to our class performances next week.
We also learned more about similes and metaphors, writing a few of our own. Some of these were very effective and others were funny!
Our spelling words this week were Scots words, some of which we already knew and some which we had to learn the English translations.
Numeracy
This week the Red group have been learning more about multiplying by 3. Next steps will be to learn more about multiplying by 6 and then 9.
The Blue and Green groups have been dividing, learning a new strategy (repeated subtraction using a number line). This has proven to be very successful and next steps will be to use the same process for numbers that are not multiples (ie numbers that will leave a remainder).
Our Maths Talk was fun this week – we had a quick reminder of the different ways we could share our learning.
Science
Do you know how food is digested? Primary 6 do because we learned more about the digestive system this week.
Fun Fact – Sloths have a very slow digestive process and they can go a whole week without going to the toilet!
We also learned more about the process of breathing.
Expressive Arts
Our focus for Scots week is the Scottish Colourists. We have learned a little about Samuel Peploe but are going to learn much more next week.
We still enjoy learning Indian dancing and will have two more weeks of dance before moving on.
We have a new Class Dojo high scorer – well done Ellie. Last term we enjoyed a games day (thanks to Emma C) and are looking forward to an Anne Frank day (Nia), extra Art (Ellie) and Football day (Emma S). Â Nia is our high scorer of the week.
Fingers crossed for calmer weather next week.
Miss Anderson and P6
