Happy New Year!
It has been a short but very busy week for Primary 6. We have been setting new goals for the year and getting back in to our school routine. This week was Vision and Values week. We discussed our school values and vision statement.
Our vision is to be a vibrant community of faith and learning where together we learn to grow in the image and likeness of Christ.
We discussed what characteristics would make someone like Christ and why they are important. We all came up with our own ideas, including: kind, helpful, hard working, respectful, friendly, understanding and fair.
Here are some comments from the pupils about their learning this week:
Kieran – This week is the first week of 2017. We did number talks, where we have to say how we got that answer. We discuss what strategy we used and find out the most efficient way to complete a calculation. In literacy we wrote about our Christmas holiday.
Emma – This week we decided that we were going to change our school charter to Disney and we painted waves inspired by an American artist, Drew Bophy.
Mia – We learned about hot and cold colours using a colour wheel and we learned about visions and values because it was vision and values week.
Amera – On Wednesday we designed our new class charter. We changed it to Disney characters.
It has been a great first week back and all children were ready to learn. We have lots of great things happening in Primary 6 this term and I am looking forward to another excellent term.
