After plenty of practice and determination, Primary 6A pulled off the Kindness assembly brilliantly. Mrs Matos is so proud of all the boys and girls. Everyone worked so hard and it all paid off. Well done to everyone.
We continuing to read our class novel, Wonder. We have gotten to the part in the story where Mr Browne introduces the precept, ‘ If having the choice of being right or being kind, choose kind.’ We worked together in pairs to discuss what this precept means to us. Most of us had very similar ideas but it was interesting to listen how everyone can interpret the same precept differently. Just like in the novel, Mrs Matos set us a task to create our own precepts on a postcard. We had to design a postcard that had our precept on it, and we needed to explain what the precept meant to us.
Mrs Hardie revised with us the water cycle, before introducing us to the journey of a river. Before her lesson started we had some fun dancing to Journey of a river song, that would help us to remember the different stages of a river. We found this very helpful when we needed to create our own journey of a river representation.
On Tuesday morning we started our first Big writing adventure task. We received video messages which set us a variety of tasks. This week we were introduced to Dan, who informed us that he will need our help to write a radio broadcast about the endangerment of the orang-utans. We worked together with a partner and discussed what all we already knew about orang-utangs, and then we decided what information we would need to find out that would help us to write an effective radio broadcast. We were fortunate that some parents and grandparents came along to share our learning with us.. I wonder if we will receive another video message this week?
This week we taught our P2 Pals a little bit of French. We used our key cards that we had created earlier in the year to help us introduce new French words to our pals. We then helped our Pals to create their own key cards so they could take it back to their class and practice. To finish it off we followed 5 a day French and did some exercises.
To finish off a busy but fun week, Miss Baillie gave our class , class of the week. Well done to everyone in P6A!!
