Learning in Literacy
Jan, Joshua, Ola, Oliwier, Hudu and Emma
In writing this week we were working on procedure. We all wrote a procedure about How to Programme Marty the Robot. Some people included how to add different commands.
We focused on using imperative verbs to help with our writing.
Kensuke’s Kingdom group continued to read and had to look up all the places Michael visited and mark them on our maps.
Skellig group discussed some questions and worked on improving our written answers.
Learning in Numeracy
Evie, Aidan, Adrin, Zuzanna, Aaron
During Numeracy this week we worked on standard addition and subtraction. Primary 7 have also all completed their SNSA tests. We also had time to play some maths board and card games this week.
Learning Across the Curriculum
Shannon, Kacper, Louise, Levente, Sean, Ethan
We celebrated 2 masses this week. At today’s mass for All Saints day we learned about what “canon” meant. On Tuesday’s Mass the primary 6 pupils were enrolled for the Pope Francis Faith Award.
Primary 6 also started Bike Ability, becoming more comfortable on their bikes. In rugby we focused on kicking the ball after scoring a try. We got to use Marty again this week and made up shows. We made backgrounds and props and filmed these.
Skills for Learning, Life and Work
Kasia, Robbie, Ailie, Mark
This week we used technology skills, communication, teamwork and imagination.
We used all of these skills in our group project working on Marty. We were able to programme him to do things and we all discussed our ideas and listened to each other. Some people were asked to nominate a classmate who showed excellent teamwork and they received a wristband.
Please see below photos for Maths and Numeracy questions that can be tried at home. There is a 1st and 2nd level calendar.
An interesting blog post this week, thank you P6/7. I particularly liked how you are now thinking more about the skills you are developing for learning, life and work.
