Another excellent week of learning in primary 6!

The children have worked hard and have lots to share with their families.

Update from our lead learners:

**Video uploaded onto the class’ team page

Health and Well-being: HWB continues to be one of our main areas of focus in our learning and the children have been discussing their emotions through the  ‘Emotion works’ lessons.

Literacy: This week we were using description bubbles and our character description criteria to create interesting characters.  We also used this to describe characters from our class novel. We have started ‘Free Writing Friday’, a time where the class can be creative with their writing and put their ideas (any and all) on paper. This is the reverse of our ERIC time. We have been using the quote “reading is like breathing in and writing is like breathing out” to inspire us.

Numeracy/Maths: We have continued to work on decimals. We have been extending our place value knowledge to decimal place value. From this we have been looking at rounding and ordering decimals. We have also been identifying types of angles with Mrs Morrison.

IDL –  We have been learning about the design of buildings and what makes them strong. We took part in a design challenge and designed buildings that would be earthquake proof. We then used spaghetti and mini marshmallows to put our buildings to the test.
