P6 blog 🙂

In Maths we have been working on fractions, decimals and percentages.  We have enjoyed this as it has been very challenging and we can understand when we might use these skills in real life.

In Literacy we were writing a summary on our new book and we did comprehension – we will be using a new comprehension tool in class, which we are really excited about as we get to self-assess and take charge of our own progression.  We also continued our new books.

In Writing we did a balanced argument for and against. We wrote it about mobile phones being compulsory. We enjoyed discussing both sides of the argument and were able to include persuasive language.

In Art we did perspective it means that you draw a creative and illusion picture that looks like it flows out of the paper.

We have been researching about the life of Mary Queen of Scots and the key events of her life that has helped to shape Scotland.

During RE we have been learning about suffering and that God helps us to get through difficult times.  Also that we can speak to people in our lives to help us if we are feeling sad or upset.

This has been a very busy week for P3 as we are preparing for lots of upcoming events. We have enjoyed rehearsing for our show ‘A Blast from the Past’. Remember to practise your lines and songs at home.

Next week P3 will be going to St Phillips Church for their class mass. We have been practising our hymns and some of the children have been working on their bidding prayer. We would love if you could join us on Tuesday.

As our topic this term focuses on school in the past and how different they are from our school today, we have been doing Venn diagrams looking at objects you might find in schools in the past, present or both. We cannot believe children in the past were disciplined using a cane or belt!!!!

This week we have been celebrating Robert Burns. We learned about who he was and what he is famous for. We read some of his poems that were written in Scots.

We explored Scots language in more depth.We have created some silly sentences using Scots language and alliteration.

 

Riley – The doo was daft and cannae feel his bahooky.

Klaudia – The daft dug disnae daunce.

Amber – The dauncing dug is clarty.

This week in numeracy we have been working on subtraction. We have been looking at different strategies to work out calculations.

 

How many different strategies can you use to solve this calculation?

 

76 – 12

 

Have a super weekend

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.

What a busy week it has been in P2/3.

In Spanish we have revised our learning on numbers to 31 and have been working on saying our age to each other.  We had great fun using our language to play games and sing songs.

Everyone loved listening to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk in Word Boost this week then discussing nouns,  verbs and adjectives. Our learning then too k us on to write our own stories about Jack and the Beanstalk using Mighty Writer.

We have extended our digital skills this week by using Microsoft Word to type our spelling words. We had great fun changing sizes and fonts.

In maths we have worked on addition, giving change and number sequences to 100. You can work on number sequences at home by counting in ones from different starting points such as 21, 39, 43. Remember to try and cross a decade when you’re counting.

Work has continued on our One Note profiles and it has been lovely to read of the children’s activities in the Wider Achievement section.

P2 have continued to investigate historical figures with local relevance and made fabulous fact files about St Margaret this week. Do visit our classroom to read the fact files.

Rehearsals continue for our P3-5 show and P3 are working extra hard to learn their lines and songs.
