We have had another fantastic week in Primary 6/7, with lots of our learning linked to our fantastic class novel “The Boy at the Back of the Class”. This is allowing us to consider themes around diversity, empathy, refugees and anti-racism.

Some of the learning that we enjoyed this week:

Camouflage – we loved learning to play this game during outdoor learning. Please remember that we have outdoor learning every Monday and children should bring their outdoor learning clothes, etc.

British Red Cross Workshop – we had a visitor from the Red Cross running workshops with us this week. Lots of us really enjoyed the workshop about empathy and refugees, particularly learning about Hamza’s story.

British Red Cross Workshop – We did another workshop on First Aid with the Red Cross and we really enjoyed learning essential skills like how to do CPR and help people in emergency situations.

Writing – lots of us really enjoyed our writing task about describing Syria and finding out more about this country and the civil war

Spelling – We enjoyed learning the “ie” and “ei” patterns this week.

Maths – lots of us loved learning about place value and digits.

Some of the learning that we found a little tricky:

Maths – some of the practice tasks from the text book about place value were a bit tricky

Reading – some quite tricky words to read in the texts that we were reading in class this week.

Writing – some of us found it a bit tricky knowing what to write about for describing our best friends.

We had a wonderful week and we are looking forward to another great week next week.
