Here are the highlights that the children have chosen to blog about this week. \u00a0I cannot believe we covered so much in three days…great work P7\/6!<\/p>\n
New Topic – We have started work on our country study of learning about the USA. \u00a0Freya said “We have been learning about the White House and Obama”. \u00a0The children have been really interested in this and were able to talk about the forthcoming election and could discuss the candidates running for office. \u00a0Well done P7\/6, keep reading the newspapers and watching the televised news as it is so important to know about changing events in our world!<\/p>\n
Writing – As part of our country study we wrote a letter to President Obama. \u00a0Mikolt said, “We wrote a letter to President Obama and we focused on our use of punctuation especially question marks when we asked a question”. \u00a0Danielle said “I’m very proud of my writing this week!”.<\/p>\n
Maths – Sophia said “We are learning about perimeter and how to add the sides to find the answer, and we extended this to use decimal numbers.” \u00a0Luke said “We have been learning different strategies in maths to find the answer to 19+19”. \u00a0This is part of our Number Talks maths learning. \u00a0When Billie was working out the answer she turned the calculation into a tower sum in her head and added to get the answer. \u00a0Isabella rounded to the nearest 10 and then added, once she had her rounded answer she took away two. \u00a0Great responses! \u00a0If you would like to have a Number Talk at home try this one, (remember and tell the grown up how to use their thumb and fingers to show the number of strategies they have worked out). \u00a0Post a reply describing one of your strategies.<\/p>\n
26 + 27<\/strong><\/p>\n The Path Of Peace – Jessica said “As part of International Day Of Peace the children in our school and Dedridge Primary all created pictures and these were laid as a path between our schools”. \u00a0Please see our twitter account for photographs of the event.<\/p>\n Committees – A new session means new committees. \u00a0Billie said “Is is great to get time out of class to work with different children from the school”. \u00a0Committee Friday<\/em> looks like it will be a big hit this session again!<\/p>\n Well done P7\/6! \u00a0Have a lovely weekend.<\/p>\n Mrs Currie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are the highlights that the children have chosen to blog about this week. \u00a0I cannot believe we covered so much in three days…great work P7\/6!
