In P6/7 this week we enjoyed:

• An interactive online money workshop from The Museum on the Mound, we learned where currency and money came from, the original items for money such as shells, tobacco, tea, salt and cocoa beans.
• Discovering our fingerprint patterns in Crime Lab Science – we took our own fingerprints to study the shapes such as whorls and arches, we then did them on a balloon and blew it up for extra details.
• We learned Spanish twice this week, once online with DCHS and the second time with Mrs Gordon where we learned about the Spanish Royal Family, numbers to 20 and colours.

Tasks that challenged us were:

• Persuasive writing about why we should look after our world, this was our assessment to see how well we can persuade the reader to help stop climate change.
• Reciprocal Reading workshop online with Mrs Cochrane where we were working on using our summarising skills in reading.
• In maths some groups are finding the fractions of a quantity where you have to divide the number by the denominator and multiply by the numerator. Other groups were adding and subtracting fractions but had to make sure the denominators were the same value first.

Lead Learners this week were Keela and Samantha who were focusing on 3 areas that they chose on Monday and wrote down the names of the people they saw showing that value.

• Concentrating – Harris G, Lana, Dan & Aneta
• Responsibility – Bonnie & Lily
• Manners – Summer

Well done everyone.
