After a lovely long weekend off, we got off to a running start to our 3 day week.
On Wednesday morning all Primary 6 children took part in the cluster cross country. The morning was well organized with a 1.5km run around the Loch. Everyone took part with enthusiasm and put there athletic skills and perseverance to the test. GC from P6B came 4th overall in the girls group, well done! Within our school, RD, PM and CH were the top 3 for the boys and EC, AP and GC were the top 3 for the girls – a massive well done to all primary 6 children, what great effort and achievement!
Literacy: Our Lion King production was such a success we thought it would be a good idea to write a ‘theatre review’ based on the feedback from our audience, as well as our own personal experience. We had a look at the different features of a review, we discussed the target audience, the purpose, layout and language. We discussed the good and the not so good about the production, and looked at ways that it could have been improved, concentrating on using a wide range of interesting adjectives and persuasive language we began our new roles as Theatre critics. In grammar this week we discussed and identified alliterations being used in song lyrics and text.
Numeracy: Using concrete materials such as Lego and building blocks we continued to expand our knowledge and understanding of fractions, In different groups we looked at and discussed mixed numbers and equivalent fractions. Can you help us to use fractions in our everyday lives?
Health and Wellbeing: We continued with our previous lesson from last week, learning about food allergies, this week we concentrated on what happens to our bodies if we eat something that we may be allergic to.
IDL: During IDL this term our focus is going to be geography and learning about our local area. To start us off, Ms Crombie shared with us her previous experience of a Marine Geophysicist, she shared some very interesting facts about how different Scottish landforms have been developed over time as well as her time out at sea, mapping the sea. The children enjoyed making a 3D models of Arthur seat to end a very interesting and informative lesson, thank you Ms Crombie.
Science: In science this week, we continued learning and expanding our knowledge of the skeleton, we completed some fun activities and built a pasta skeleton to consolidate our learning.
P6A, Mrs Matos and Ms Crombie
