This week we wrote a discursive essay about school uniform being compulsory. We had to write a balanced argument looking at both the pros and cons. Here are some examples:

It is important to learn to dress correctly for future events your life, for example when you leave school or studying and you get a job.

On the other hand a con for keeping school uniform being compulsory it is way to expensive for the parent to pay for it every  year.

On Wednesday we went see a show at Dedridge primary school it was about these two boys that were best friends and then broke up and they never seen each other in 30 years! And they met in njjjan airport.

In maths this week we focused on simplifying fractions & the link between fractions, decimals and percentages.

In P.E we were learning how to control and make your moves fluent.

This week we have been doing Jazzmatazz. In Jazzmatazz we have been improvising on xylophones and the glockenspiel. We also learned to sing some songs whilst playing a tune. We had to copy the beat that Mike was playing on the piano.

In maths this week we have been continuing to learn about decimals and some of the class have been learning to put decimals into an order. In number talks we have been sharing lots of strategies and learning from one another.

In writing we have been using a visual stimulus based on a twisty road and had to write an imaginary story.

We have been continuing with our class novel Pig Heart Boy and this week we had a visit from an author to reading his book Fairy with the broken wings.

Have a lovely weekend!

This week in primary 6 we have been doing lots of activities for Maths Week.

We completed a murder mystery at the cinema with Mrs McMullen and we had to work out different sums to find out who the murderer was.

We also created our own parabolic designs were we had to join all the numbers together for example 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3 all the way to 10. Today we have been creating curves of pursuit.

On Wednesday we were using our problem solving skills to build a bridge. Our bridge had to be strong enough for a toy car to go over. We had a budget of £100 to buy paper, cellotape or paperclips. It was great fun!

We have had a busy and hard working week in our classroom.

This week in maths we have been doing place value for whole numbers from 1 000,000 and beyond. We have been identifying the value of digit within a whole number and recognising and writing numbers in words.

In writing we have been using our senses to help with describing a setting. We used this to help us to describe different settings from our class novel Pig Heart Boy.

In art we were drawing the main character Cameron using colour to think about emotions. We used charcoal to represent the character Cameron’s feeling of sadness, anger and loneliness.

In PE we have been developing our tennis skills with Mr McCurdy. We have been practicing our gentle swing technique.
