This week in PE we have developed our tennis skills even further. We learned the rules to play matches and all took turns of being the Umpire, Line Judge and players. This has led to competitive games and has been very enjoyable.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been doing carousels in Numeracy to enhance our capabilities of adding and subtracting decimals.\u00a0 We have been finding prices online and adding money to help us improve.<\/p>\n

This week in our Teacher Carousel afternoon we worked with all the P6\u2019s and Miss Ford.\u00a0 We were focused on money. We found out about the differences between Debit and Credit cards and worked on strategies to calculate prices in a sale.\u00a0 We even made our own Debit cards!<\/p>\n

Our topic is AUSTRALIA!!! Which is so far really REALY FUUUUUN! This week we learned about the Aboriginals and their art and storytelling. \u00a0We listened to some traditional stories about \u2018Dreamtime\u2019 like the rainbow serpent \u201c hiss hiss.\u201d We then wrote our own stories in a similar style, focusing on a story board of drawings.\u00a0 We all started working on some Aboriginal artwork.\u00a0 We chose an Australian animal and copied their style of \u2018Dot Art\u2019 by using cotton buds and paints. \u00a0The Paintings look great! Also don\u2019t forget the CUDLY KOALAS AND BOXING KANGAROOS! For out Australian animal research we have been working in small groups to focus on one animal.\u00a0 Each expert group will feedback to the rest of the class to share our learning.\"image3\"<\/a> \"image2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All pupils have had another fantastic week of learning.\u00a0 I was very impressed with the Aboriginal stories and art work.\u00a0 The pupils have shown great improvement in their numeracy, especially with place value when including decimal places.\u00a0 I am very impressed with the improvement in our speedtables challenge, this really shows how much practising at home really helps! Just a reminder for all children to returen their yellow Pupil Profile folders if not already done so.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend,<\/p>\n
