Primary 5/6

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

• We really enjoyed continuing to work on our Science task to research and present information about renewable energy and non-renewable energy
• We all loved working on our dramatisation of the poem “T’was the Night Before Christmas” and then being filmed performing the poem. The children hope that everyone enjoys seeing the finished video clip
• We continue to enjoy our class novel, “Where the World Turns Wild”, as the story gets near the end. We were very surprised by some sad news that the main characters received today at the end of their long journey
• Many of us enjoyed our Christmas spelling words this week and the activities that we did to practise them
• We enjoyed our Reading groups this week and the new stories that we read together and discussed with Mr Hamilton

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

• Our Christmas Maths quiz which had some really tricky problem solving questions and it was made even more difficult by each round of the quiz having a time limit
• Rehearsing the drama was a little tricky this week, although it was possibly Mr Hamilton who found this task trickier than the children!
• We found the Christmas-I – Spy activity challenging as there was a lot of counting and it was difficult to make sure we were being accurate

Our Lead Learners in Primary 5/6 this week were Harrison and Sophie S. They were assisted by last week’s Lead Learners, Rose and Levi. The three targets that our Lead Learners set for the class were as follows:

• Being responsible in the playground
• Not walking around class at times when we should be on task
• Working independently

The Lead Learners and their assistants spotted lots of children in the class meeting all three of the targets this week. The trickiest target was working independently and this is definitely something for many of us to keep working hard on

Well done Primary 5/6 on another fantastic week and an excellent effort with the drama work on the poem.
