We have had a busy week in Primary 6. We continued learning about place value and even explored reading and writing 9 digit numbers. The class also had fun trying to solve some place value riddles!
We have worked with our P2 pals to help them with their ICT skills and are looking forward to helping them with their reading too.
In pairs the class researched different rivers around the world. We created interesting and informative posters about each river which we are going to present to one another next week. We will then have a vote as to what river we want to take a closer look at and compare to the River Forth.
Our class novel, Wonder, has us gripped. We are really enjoying the story and discussing the many different issues and barriers that the main character is encountering. This week we wrote a diary account from the perspective of the main character.
Mrs McVay was really impressed with our feedback from our Science lesson with Mrs Tulloch. We were able to tell her about all the different types of energy. These included sound, light, heat, magnetic and kinetic to name just a few.
We have also learned about the art of Piet Mondrian who used parallel and perpendicular lines. We have made our own Mondrian artwork which will be on display at Meet the Teacher – we look forward to seeing parents at 6.30 on Tuesday evening.
We all have our homework set for the term. Spelling goes home each Monday and is due back the following Monday.
We were delighted to be Class of the Week and have ten minutes extra Golden Time as our prize for being so good!
