This week in Primary 6 we have been focusing on the layout and presentation of our work. This has been something that we highlighted when self and peer assessing our work across all areas of the curriculum.
Literacy – We have been working on our joined handwriting and investigating nouns and proper nouns. This is something that we initially found tricky but we have picked up well. We have focused on how to use a dictionary effectively to assist us with learning and expand our vocabularies.
Maths – We have been focusing on how to collect information and the different ways in which it can be presented. We have gathered our own information and explored how to present this in bar graph and pictorial format.
PE – We have completed our block on handball and took part in a class tournament. We focused on team work, positive communication and enjoying ourselves.
Topic – We looked further into the process of digestion, explaining what happens at the different stages and we will be moving on to the respiratory system across the final stages of this term. This week we also celebrated International Womens Day.
 
Languages – This week we had Jess teaching Spanish greetings, numbers and colours. We are thoroughly enjoying learning different languages and are building up a bank of knowledge!
Have a lovely weekend 🙂
We were delighted to welcome so many parents and carers to our learning showcase event held on Wednesday 27th November. We know that parents are keen to support their child’s learning and we were glad to share the approaches used to develop reading from Nursery to Primary 7. There was a short presentation about reading given by Miss Speirs, then the children shared their learning with our guests and showed how reading skills are taught in our school. There was an amazing turnout with over 100 visitors on the night. Thank you to everyone who joined us, it was great to see you there.
