Our learning highlights in Primary 5/6 this week were:

• We have enjoyed making posters in Maths to demonstrate all that we know about fractions
• We very much enjoyed our art task this week, where we were creating a pop art background for our favourite Scots words
• We enjoyed creating a rhyming poem in our Writing lesson
• We have really enjoyed singing songs this week as we practice for our Assembly next week
• All of the Reading groups enjoyed the discussions in our Reading groups this week and the non-fiction books that we are reading and discussing together with Mr Hamilton
• We still love our class novel, “Danny, the Champion of the World”, and listening to a really exciting part of the story this week when Danny and his dad carried out their amazing plan
• We enjoyed our PE focus on Gymnastics this week and learning about different ways of jumping, landing and rolling

This week some of us thought that these were tricky tasks:

• Creating our Maths posters on fractions was a bit tricky at times as we needed to remember all of our fraction work back to the beginning of term
• A few of us who are going to recite our poems at assembly next week found practising our poems tricky
• Some of us found the focus on gymnastics in PE a little tricky as we get to grips with different jumps and rolls
• Many of us thought that writing our own rhyming poems was a tricky
• Some of us felt that working on our project was quite tricky and some of us also found the cutting for our art task a bit difficult

Our Lead Learners in Primary 5/6 this week were Alexis and Olivia. They were assisted by last week’s Lead Learners, Chelsea and Harris. The three targets that our Lead Learners set for the class were as follows:

• Try to concentrate and focus on your work during task time
• Try to stay in class and listen during the teaching part of a lesson
• Get along with everyone and be respectful in the playground

The Lead Learners and their assistants spotted lots of children in the class meeting all three of the targets this week. There was a lot of success across all three targets.

Well done Primary 5/6 on another wonderful week and amazing hard work on your Maths posters, rhyming poems and preparing for our class assembly.
