Learning Overview
Literacy
This week for our Writing lesson we each wrote a discussion about whether paper maps should be replaced by electronic maps. We talked about the advantages and disadvantages of both types of maps.
As part of World Book Day we all read our books and we also had an Author and Illustrator Masterclass where we were able to see Jamie Littler and Laura Ellen Anderson talk to us and they both read us some extracts from their books ‘Amelia Fang’ and ‘Frostheart’.
We also took part in a giant quiz with 3 other classes. We had to answer questions about the title and author names of different books.
Numeracy and Maths
We worked on our fractions, decimals and percentages to help Mrs Reeves decide what she was going to teach us next.
Health and Well being
In P.E. we have started to do Basketball by practising our Basketball skills and playing a few games.
We have made a kindness box for our class. If someone is kind to us, we now write their name on a piece of paper and say how they have been kind to us and put this in the box. At the end of the day the acts of kindness are all read out and the people who have been kind get their names put on our recognition board.
World of Work
We are all taking part in a World of Work survey to help us find out our different work skills. So far we have started to do a quiz which tells us what type of animal we are.
Pupil Voice:

I loved playing Basketball this week.

I liked making up our own characters and drawing them in our Learning Journals.
Home Learning
Help your child to keep practising telling the time and ask them to convert the time into 12 hour and 24 hour time. See if you can have a look at some timetables together to work out different journey times.
Ask your child to talk about the different characters they created on World Book Day.
Reminder
We will be visiting Torness Power Station on Monday to support our learning in science about energy and electricity.
All pupils should bring a snack and a packed lunch.
Pupils should not bring devices. Devices are not allowed on the tour. I suggest devices are left at home on Monday or left at the office as there will be no one in the classroom.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Reeves and P6
