There has been a lot happening this week in primary 6/7.
We started Art with Mrs Conway and we all created a silhouette for remembrance day. We have also been continuing with drama box and everyone has been having lots of fun creating our class characters.
In numeracy we have been focusing on multiplication this week and have been trying different methods to see what one we like best. Continue working on this at home to increase your confidence! Challenge your parents – how many methods do they know?
We all became film critics this week. After watching The Grinch we wrote a review, including our personal opinion as well as facts about the film.
We have completed the Gift of Wisdom for the Pope Francis Faith Award – please check that this is all completed at home, ready for the next gift next week.
