Dear Parents and Carers,
Primary 6 have had another busy week.
In literacy we have been continuing our class novel and have had great fun predicting what will happen next and discussing the author’s use of language. We have continued to discuss our word boost words and find their meaning in the dictionary. Our class has also been learning about how to use speech marks appropriately in our writing.
During numeracy, we have been learning to add five and six digit numbers using the written method with exchange. We have been doing lots of practical examples using the whiteboards. We have also been exploring 3D shapes and their properties as well as investigating their nets.
As part of our topic lessons, we have been learning about the Ancient Greeks and how many of their ideas and philosophers have impacted us today. We practised taking notes and using our information to create our own mind maps. We have completed our Greek God posters , where we worked with a partner to find interesting facts and illustrate our work.
In art we studied the architecture and patterns of Greek temples and had great fun creating and designing our own, using black pen and colour. We have displayed them in the area and are very proud of our work!
As part of mental health week, Primary 6 created our kindness house. We will record peoples names and kind actions which will form the bricks of the house! We also designed “Power of Yet” posters which encourage us to have a positive mindset in school when completing our work.
Congratulations to Logan on being our hot chocolate winner this week.
Congratulations Ishaan who is our reading champion for the next couple of weeks.
Have a lovely weekend !
Mrs Lea and Primary 6A
