Learning overview
We have had a busy week in primary 6/7 and have completed lots of assessments.
We were able to show our knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We have to remember our mathematical vocabulary to help us to understand questions. We are continuing to work on calculating sale costs using our knowledge of fractions, decimals and percentages.
We are nearly finished our group novels and will be ready to start new books next term. We will continue to focus on using evidence from the text to support answers and start to analyse the texts further.
Everyone has been working hard in Scottish Dancing and we are prepared for our Christmas parties next week. We also had the opportunity to help the nursery with their dances which was lots of fun!
Primary 7 also had the opportunity to go swimming at St. Margaret’s on Monday. Everyone enjoyed playing games in the pool and especially using the floats!
We celebrated the 2nd week of Advent today with a Mass led by Fr Kenneth. Tho whole class took part in preparing for mass; our readers and IT team were excellent today – well done!
It was great to see so many families at our Cake and Carols event today. Everyone enjoyed singing along with the audience – thank you!
Next Steps
Continue to work on calculating sale prices at home and the next time you are out at the shops. We have also been discussing best value and why some special offers aren’t always that great! Try to find some examples when you are out and about.
It would be great if some families could take part in the family activities for our Rights Respecting School Award. Mrs Conway has been posted these each month and they have been shared on Twitter – have a look and share your responses with us here!!
A reminder that next week is party week!!!
Primary 6 will have their party on Wednesday afternoon and primary 7 will have theirs on Thursday afternoon.
Have a great weekend!!
