This week we really settled into our routines and everyone has worked hard across the curriculum.

In literacy, all of the children have begun their reading for the year and were working on predicting what their book would be about using the information they can retrieve from the cover. There were a lot of interesting predictions and a large variety, it will be good to see who was right.

We started Building Thinking Classrooms and the children have enjoyed working in different groups throughout the week, it has been interesting to see the different ways the children went about solving the problems within their groups.

In IDL we looked at eclipses and compared lunar eclipses with solar eclipses, the differences as well as similarities between them both. This has culminated in some excellent work from everybody which will be our first topic display of the year.

Overall it has been a great week in primary 6.
