The last week of the term has been a very busy, busy week.
Numeracy: This week we consolidated partitioning using brackets. We partitioned addition and multiplication problems. We agreed that partitioning was our preferred strategy especially when calculating mentally. This week we all received our own timetables practice book. We using the book to help us practice our timetables and to recall them quicker.
Literacy: It has been a busy writing week this week. We spent some time reflecting on what makes Linlithgow beautiful and created some poems which will be entered into the annual Marches Magazine competition which is run by the Round Table. Continuing with our class novel, Edward Tulane we created and wrote postcards of Edward’s journey. Edward has been on different journeys in the book and each journey helps his character to change and develop the feeling of love which he never had before. Writing the post codes lead us to having discussions on how different ‘journeys’ in our own lives have helped us to grow and develop feelings and different emotions.
PE: It was our last week of tag rugby. We had some fun playing in small teams against each other. The last six weeks of rugby we did not only learn different rugby skills but we have also learnt the importance of communication and working together as a team. This week was also our last week of badminton with Mrs Reid.
RME: We continued to learn about the Easter story with Mrs Mendes. To consolidate our learning and understanding we created Easter poems based on the Easter story.
1+2: We have been continuing to learn the Spanish alphabet. We practiced out greetings and feelings dialogue and practiced spelling names using the Spanish alphabet.
P2 Pals: On Wednesday afternoon we spent some time with our P2 Pals and practiced mathematics using sumdog. We’ve enjoyed doing various ICT activities with our P2 Pals and this has been good practice for when we will be P7 Buddies next year, We all completed a buddy application form this week and we can’t wait to find out who our buddy will be next year.
Over the week we have been practicing the Easter songs that we will be singing at the Easter service on Friday, feel free to come along to the service.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and relaxing Easter holiday. We have a lot to look forward to when we get back after the holidays, don’t forget to get the bags backed for our super exciting P6 camp!!
