Primary 6/7 have had an excellent first week back after the February break with lots exciting learning in class. On Friday morning, we discussed our learning through the week and decided that we would like to share these reflections about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We enjoyed our Writing activity where we were developing our skills with using persuasive language to convince our reader that either cats or dogs are the best pets and we are looking forward to completing this task next week
• We enjoyed creating our own fitness activities in PE with Mrs Donald
• We really enjoyed our buddying activities and helping our buddies to learn how to play card games
• We enjoyed our final computing science session with the wonderful students from Edinburgh University as we learnt about coding using “Python” and sent messages to the International Space Station!
• We enjoyed our art activity where we were creating pictures of the famous Scots that we have been researching and learning about for our personal projects
• We enjoyed continuing to learn about and practise the grid method for multiplication in Maths

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

• Some of us feel felt that the famous Scot portrait art activity was a little tricky, especially the part where we used tracing with charcoal and then printing with those line drawings
• A few of us feel that the times table practise this week was a bit tricky as we were using more difficult times tables
• Some of us found the writing about cats or dogs a little difficult as this was our first persuasive writing task this session

Our lead learners were Logan, Shiva and Megan.  They were looking for examples of the following targets that they set for the class; be kind to the adults in school, be responsible with school equipment and property and be resilient in your learning.  Our lead learners saw lots of the children in class meeting all of those targets, which is great news. Well done for a brilliant week, P6/7. Looking forward to another great week next week!
