Primary 6 Blog 11th November 2022
Literacy
In literacy, we have been making links between topic and writing. We have written imagined recounts of evacuated children and created imaginative poems about life in the trenches. We have also make links with our grammar and punctuation lessons by including figurative language, similes, metaphors and speech.
Numeracy
In numeracy, we have started working with decimals. We have learned how to order, round, add subtract and multiply decimals by 10, 100 and 1000.
Next we will be looking at fractions. We will be understanding how to identify and simplify fractions as well as matching fractions to their equivalent decimal number. In Maths, we have continued to develop our knowledge and understanding of measuring length, weight and volume.
Other
In groups, we have been discussing what we already know about World War 2 and what we would like to learn. We have created a KWL grid to show what we plan to investigate during our topic. We have created a timeline to show the correct order of the main events that lead to the start of the war.
In science, we have been participating in an Air Race Challenge. For the challenge we have investigated different jobs to do with aerospace including air traffic control, engineer and pilot. We have researched a range of famous aviators including Amelia Earhart and Tim Peake. Next we will be designing an obstacle course for a set of drones to fly through.
