Primary 6 – what do ‘eye’ see?

It’s been another busy week in Primary 6 – here is a summary of some of our learning.

Maths

We have continued to learn about area this week. We have drawn rectangles of specific sizes, using times tables to calculate the area. We really need to know our times tables and Miss Anderson has found a few songs to help us remember. We will be listening to them next week as well. One of our tasks was to design a zoo. Brandon’s work was chosen as our WAGOLL (What A Good One Looks Like) as he had remembered to include an entrance, exit and car park. All the enclosures were a good size for the type of animal that would live in them. Well done Brandon.

Literacy

We have been writing imaginative stories, set in a school. We had a few stories set in our school but lots were set elsewhere (including a school that can teleport!). We were all trying to include speech marks this week (with partner punctuation) and we were all working towards our personal targets. Miss Anderson is really enjoying reading all our stories.

Social Studies

We are still learning about Livingston – this week we started to work in groups to research housing, work, leisure and tourism. Hope fully we will be able to update you with more info next week. In the meantime, here is a photo of the class map we created last week.

Science

This week we started to learn more about eyes and sight. We learned that out retina actually sees things upside down and our brain turns it around. We talked about how clever our brains are!

Other

Children in Need was great fun – the school raised lots of money to help this great cause. Emma C is still our Dojo high scorer (with 50 points) and it was a tie for our weekly high scorers; Ann, Ellie and Emma S. Keep up all the hard work!
