P6A Blog 9.1.18 – 19.1.18
1st Week
On Tuesday, we were learning that letters can replace missing numbers in calculations. After lunch, we did some Go Noodle with P6B. We also went down to the nursery to teach them our visions, values and aims, and then we started creating posters, linking to our visions, values and aims for the nursery. Our learning intention was to make a poster that is clear enough for the nursery to understand.
On Wednesday, we continued working on our posters for the nursery, and we did more work on using letters in calculations. We also started solving equations using letters. For literacy, we did a pre-read of our new class novel, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. After that we had P.E. with Mrs Reid. In the afternoon, we went to P2 to help them research either snowy owls or JOLOMO.
On Thursday, we solved some more equations using algebra in numeracy. We had visits from a few special visitors in science, who were talking to us about renewable energy. After lunch, we went to the Lion King preparations.
On Friday, we had the Lion King preparations all day.
2nd Week
On Monday, we played spelling games. In Literacy we predicted what would happen in our new class novel, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, by answering question on the Smart Board. Then we read the first two chapters. We wrote down all the tests of divisibility in our How-to jotter, (for example, 2’s – even and can be halved. 4’s – even and can be halved twice.) In Spanish, we practiced our key greetings in Spanish with a partner, and we watched a video to re-inforce our learning. Then we learned about the different states of water.
On Tuesday, we learnt about factors using factors bugs, and we were learning about openers in our writing. In Maths, we were learning to create a set of multiples and find common multiples between tables. After lunch, we learned the basic skills in hockey.
On Wednesday, we were learning to identify factors, and then we worked with P6B on our Scottish poems, which need to be learnt by the 24th January. We worked with our P2 pals, to teach them about money in the environment on the netbooks.
On Thursday, we had a visit from Mr Moon, who used to work in renewables. He showed some interesting videos, including how the 45m long blades get delivered! Then The Travelling Tuba came in and showed (and played!) tubas from all around the world. After lunch we went to the Lion King.
On Friday, we had lots of Lion King Preparations, learning all the tricky songs, we went to assembly and Miss Baillie gave us class of the week. We finished our day with some well-deserved golden time .
