P6 are Epic Everyday!
This week we have been learning place value up to millions! We were writing really big numbers in words and digits. We used our whiteboards to help us write our numbers by partitioning them into millions, hundreds of thousand, tens of thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens and units. We also listened to a song to try and help us remember.
During our smart starts we have been working on our times tables and addition. We were completing activities against the clock and we are all getting faster! We discussed the strategies we use when completing calculations to help each other and give each other new ideas. We will continue to work on this in the coming weeks, if you would like to practise the speed challenge at home here is the link:

We have been reading more of our class novel Skellig which is getting very interesting. We all wrote a diary entry as Michael, showing our understanding of his feelings and then worked on some role play activities showing off our acting skills! In art we all used chalk and charcoal to create feathers to make wings for our display! We all drew a portrait of how we imagine Skellig to look based on evidence from the book.
This week we said good bye to Father Paul, we had a special surprise assembly and we all made poems to add to his book. We will all miss Father Paul and wish him good luck in his future.
