Primary 6 30.3.20

Hi Primary 6, I hope you are all well.

It has been a strange weekend because I am not used to staying indoors especially when it is so beautiful and sunny. I hope you have all managed to find things to keep you busy.

Here is our work for Monday. Please just do what you can when you can and stay safe!

PE with Joe. Please try to join us as this is an excellent way to be positive and feel good. (I even did some of the repeats at the weekend).

Spelling words:  Please try to remember these common homophones (words that sound the same but are written differently). Then write each word in a sentence showing that you know the meaning. This can be in a jotter or on the computer.

Moons:  Waist Waste Cent Scent Through Threw Pour pore

Stars: To Too two here hear flower flour right  write

LITERACY  – Short Read – using the description from Matilda last Monday please draw images of the two characters.

The Trunchbull stood motionless on the platform. Her great horsy face had turned the colour of molten ______  and her eyes were glittering with ________ . She glared at _________  Bogtrotter; who was sitting on his ________  like some huge overstuffed grub, replete, comatose, unable to move or to speak. A fine sweat was beading his _____________ but there was a grin of triumph on his ________.

Suddenly the Trunchbull lunged forward and grabbed the _________ empty china platter on which the  _________ had rested. She raised it high in the air and brought it down with a crash right on _______ of the wretched Bruce Bogtrotter’s head and pieces flew all over the platform.

The _______ was by now so full of cake he was like a sack full of wet cement and you couldn’t have hurt ______  with a sledge-hammer. He simply shook his _________  a few times and went on grinning.

A fab day in P6

In the morning P6 had a visit from AnneMarie Allan, the author of our class novel, Charlie’s Promise. We were able to ask many questions about the book and the author’s past. We found out that the story was set in a real place and that some characters were based on her family.

We also had a visit from our Tiny Teacher. We can’t believe how much he has grown since we first met him near the start of this year.

Feedback in P6

  

Primary 6 have helped each other to improve their still life drawing skills with kind, specific and helpful feedback. With help from friends we were able to add more detail, texture and shading.

Mrs Gardner was so proud of our final results. Now no child in P6 is allowed to say I can’t draw, as the work was so impressive.
