It\u2019s been another busy week in primary 6, packed with learning! Here is what some pupils have to say:<\/p>\n

We have been given our SumDog passwords this week and have been trying it out. It\u2019s great fun. – Aliza<\/p>\n

In Numeracy we have been rounding to the nearest ten and hundreds. \u2013 Erwin<\/p>\n

We have been working on \u2018today\u2019s number\u2019 in our smart starts. This week we introduced 2 decimal places. The number was 486.24. – Neave<\/p>\n

We have nearly finished Skellig. I have really enjoyed listening to this novel. – Leon<\/p>\n

We have been learning about Australian bushfires.\u00a0 The most devastating bushfire, Black Saturday, was 7 February 2009. \u2013 Kieran<\/p>\n

In our topic work we learned about how to be prepared for bushfires and completed a fire safety report. \u2013 Amera<\/p>\n

We have made origami boomerangs, they were quite tricky \u2013 Erin O
\n(We will be throwing them next week to see if we can get them to return to us!)<\/p>\n

After watching a news report about the worst ever bushfire and looking at photographs we produced our own newspaper articles.- Ciara<\/p>\n

In PE we have been working on our tennis skills. This week we were put into teams and have been competing using a ladder.\u00a0 You can challenge someone who is one or two places above you on the ladder and try and make it to the top. \u2013 Erin Roy<\/p>\n

It was lovely to see the parents who made it along to our numeracy evening \u2013 thank you very much for coming along.\u00a0 All children have been asked to give SumDog a try at home; they should all have their user names and passwords.\u00a0 Well done to everyone who has already been on, I\u2019m very impressed with all the points you have been getting!<\/p>\n

We have also introduced Smiling Mind to our classroom.\u00a0 This is a mindfulness technique used in Australian classrooms so we thought we would try it out ourselves. \u00a0This week the lesson was called ‘bubble journey’ – ask your child to try and explain it to you if they can remember. \u00a0We have used it in class and also at the end of PE. So far it has been relaxing and gives us time to reflect on our day.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking forward to all the Australia presentations next week! Enjoy your weekend,<\/p>\n
