Numeracy: This week we consolidated using the formal written method for division. Continuing with money, we concentrated on budgeting and we calculated what we could afford. Working with number patterns, we used partitioning using brackets for addition and multiplication.
Literacy: We’ve been getting very creative during literacy this week. We used a picture stimuli to help us to write an imaginative story. In our writing we concentrated on sentence openers and the use of exciting adjectives. West Lothian’s young writers competition is fast approaching, we spend some time creating some very creative writing pieces. We continued practicing our proof reading and editing skills, paying attention to the use of the apostrophe and homophone errors.
IDL: This week we took a closer look at the impact the Industrial revolution had on the population, work, living conditions , health and medicine. We compared this to previous years before the revolution.
RME: With Mrs Mendes we learnt about the Easter story. We have also been practicing our Easter songs that we will be singing at the Easter service on Friday, 23 March at St Michael’s church.
PE: We had another fun filled rugby taster session this week. With Mrs Reid we have been playing some badminton.
1+2: In Spanish this week, we continued to practice our greetings and feelings vocabulary and we started to learn the Spanish alphabet and have tried to use the Spanish Alphabet to spell each others names. In French we practiced our greetings and learnt the French pronunciations of colours.
What we have to look forward to:
Monday 19 March- P6 Camp information evening at 17:00
Thursday 22 March – Visit to Cross house for Cracking Easter.
Friday 23 March – Easter service at St Michael’s church.
Mrs Matos and P6A
