Primary 6/7 have had a fantastic week with lots exciting learning and some activities linked to the forthcoming festivities. On Friday morning, we discussed our learning over the week and decided that we would like to share these reflections about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that went well):

• We enjoyed practising our times tables during our mental maths activities this week
• We all enjoyed our festive story writing for our buddies as we began to redraft and create the books which we will give to our buddies
• We all engaged well in our outdoor learning sessions on Monday, the Primary 7s with Rob and the Primary 6s with Mr Hamilton
• We enjoyed the mental maths work that we did which involved flipping the tables in the classroom
• We really enjoyed our Tag Rugby games again in PE and worked hard to involve everyone in our team and to focus on safety
• We enjoyed our Christmas dinner in school on Wednesday and loved seeing the P1-3 dress rehearsal of their amazing nativity, “Donkey for Sale”

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning)

• Some of us feel that we need to keep working on our data handling skills in the maths work we did with Mr Hamilton this week
• A few of us felt that the times table work in mental maths was a bit tricky as we need to work on our speed of recall
• Some of us found our fitness session in PE with Mrs Donald challenging (and tiring!)

Our lead learners were Lily, Jessica, Paige and Coby.  They were looking for examples of the following targets that they set for the class; be kind to all of your peers, be ambitious in your story writing and keep resources clean and tidy.  Our lead learners saw lots of the children in class meeting those targets, which is wonderful news. Well done for a great week, P6/7. This will be our last blog post before the holiday, so we would like to wish all of our families a very happy Christmas.
