Happy New Year everyone! We hope you all had a lovely break. P6A have had a busy first week back and I am so proud of them all for getting stuck right back into it.

Our highlights of the week included:

– identifying a ‘word of the year’ as a goal to work towards. Some examples included ‘leadership, bravery and optimistic’. We then linked this to our HWB focus ‘the power of yet’. This was about how adding ‘yet’ makes everything possible and how we should all adopt a growth mindset attitude!

– we started to explore our new story book for critical literacy – Into The Woods, by Anthony Brown. We looked at the front cover (without the title!) and took notes about what we noticed, any questions we had and created a prediction for the story. We also made guesses about what the title could be based on the information and pictures we had.

Pupil highlights:

– “Adding and subtracting decimals and using the new maths textbooks”

– “Making gymnastics routines and leading the warm up stretches in PE!”

– “Trialling out the microphone in music for our Burns’ songs”.

Well done to Emily who received the hot chocolate this week. Emily was super resilient in numeracy and had a “light bulb moment” within subtraction after trying super hard!

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss MacGregor 🙂
