Our week started off with a visit from Mrs Millar, from the Scottish Parliament outreach program. Mrs Millar came along to our school on Tuesday morning, and consolidated what we have been learning about. We were all placed into parties and we elected our leaders. We had to present a manifesto, debate and vote. It was a lot of fun, where we learned a lot more about the ins and outs of the Scottish Parliament.
We’ve been continuing with our Big Writing adventures in literacy this week. We worked with our partners to up level a radio broadcast, we discussed what was important in a radio broadcast to make sure that it has an impact on our listeners. Later in the week, we worked with our partners to write our radio broadcast, and this week we will begin to record them.
In numeracy this week, we worked on balancing equations and equations that are greater than and less than. Next we are going to have a look at letters and symbols that can be used to represent a missing number.
1 + 2 this week we learned some Spanish. We learned how to greet someone and how to ask and tell them our names. We also created some vocabulary key cards that we can use throughout the year, to help us to remember.
With Christmas on its way, we learned about why we celebrate Christmas, and that it is not just about what we receive but most importantly what we give. Christmas is about spending time with the people we care about and also about random acts of kindness. It was also the start oh Hanukkah on the 12th December, we learned what Hanukkah was all about and how and why it is celebrated.
We have been reading our Novel, Wonder. The author has written a book that has captivated all of us and we are looking forward to watch the movie on Thursday.
Last week to go before our Christmas break, we going to make this the best week yet.
P6A and Mrs Matos
