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

• We very much enjoyed finishing off our Art activity this week. We completed our wonderful posters for the creative competition that is being run by Show Racism the Red Card. We included some excellent anti-racist messages in our posters and created some eye-catching illustrations to bring the messages to life.
• We really enjoyed the end of our class novel, “Kensuke’s Kingdom” by Michael Morpurgo. It was fascinating to find out what happened to Michael and understand Kensuke’s decision.
• We really enjoyed getting started on our new Maths topic this week as we learned about percentages. We have been making lots of links to decimals and fractions as we begin finding out about percentages.
• We enjoyed our learning about World Water Day with Mrs Baird and creating posters showing how important water is to us.
• We also enjoyed our continuing focus on Handball in PE this week and developing our skills in a game situation.

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

• Some of us felt that our new reading books were a little tricky but we were also really glad that we are making progress and being challenged
• Some of us found the focus on percentages in Maths to be tricky, but we will be doing lots of practice next week to help us improve our understanding
• A few of us found writing our personal choice projects a bit tricky, especially managing some of the more difficult creative aspects of the tasks and deciding on our next steps.

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

• Be responsible during lunch time
• Be ambitious in Writing
• Be responsible during Topic time

The Lead Learners and their assistants spotted lots of children in the class meeting all three of the targets this week. Well done!

Well done Primary 5/6 on a fantastic week and lots of great hard work.
