This week some of our P6 children have been at a residential camp on Tuesday and Wednesday. A great time was had by all, it would appear that canoeing was a real highlight with these being only a few of the comments that have been shared,
Oskar – “I fell into the water twice while I was canoeing and sailing, I loved it.”
Aurora – “The best bit was canoeing and I didn’t even get wet!”
Billie – “Miss McCormack said I was a strong at paddling”
Tristan – “It was really great!”
In class we got into the Outdoor Learning spirit by doing work on plants. We have learned about photosynthesis and the main structure of a flowering plant. This involved us going on a hunt around our school grounds to find different types of leaves and then examining them for the veins and evidence of the glucose produced during photosynthesis. Here is a short video that we watched to help us learn about this process.
We have now started some work on learning about the structure of a flowering. We have labelled a diagram of the male and female parts and will follow this up next week by learning about the function and process of each part, pollination, the development of a seed and seed dispersal.
In Numeracy we have focused again on re engaging with our times tables and many of us have identified that the 9x table facts are not springing to our minds in a CLICK. Those of us who feel we know our tables well are trying to apply them in more complex calculations to solve problems. Next week our focus will be MONEY!
Have a lovely weekend.
