P6W \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Blog Update \u00a0September 2nd<\/sup> 2021<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Numeracy and Maths<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In numeracy, we have been doing lots of rounding.\u00a0 We have rounded millions and also made questions easier by rounding which is also known as estimating.\u00a0 In Maths, we have been learning time durations and working out times between certain points. We have been improving our mental strategies by joining in with daily number talks.<\/p>\n

Literacy<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In literacy, we chose whether to write a recount of the Summer holiday or writing a letter to Mrs Welsh about ourselves. We have been developing our story writing skills by discussing and practising writing a sensory description using \u201cThe Firebird\u201d as inspiration.\u00a0\u00a0 We enjoyed this.\u00a0 In reading, we have been given new reading books and we have read a little bit and discussed what we\u2019ve read each week.\u00a0 In Grammar we have been learning to use speech marks and other types of punctuation in our writing.<\/p>\n

IDL<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our topic this term is Scottish myths and Legends.\u00a0 This week we have been learning about the Loch Ness Monster. We gathered evidence and had a class debate on whether or not we believed that the monster existed.\u00a0 We are looking forward to finding out more about local UFO sightings and planning\/ creating \u00a0a fairy trail for the school gardens and wooded area!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Health and Wellbeing<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In Health and Wellbeing, we have been learning about child rights. Mrs Welsh gave us photographs of different children in our table groups and we had to decide if we thought their rights were being met or denied. We had to be careful not believe any stereotypes of people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

PE<\/strong><\/p>\n

During PE, we have been learning about stamina.\u00a0 On a Monday we do Boot Camp.\u00a0 For doing that we set up 7 stations and we get 2 minutes to work at each station.\u00a0 We write down our scores so we can see how well we are doing each week and if we improving.\u00a0 On a Tuesday, we practise our running, particularly relay racing.\u00a0 Last Tuesday, we got into groups of 4 and we did lots of races, practising a crouch start.\u00a0 This Tuesday we were practising a baton handover.<\/p>\n

RME <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In RME, we have been learning about Buddhism, the story of Buddha and the story if his life.\u00a0 We have also been learning about some symbols of Buddhism such as the lotus flower and the eternal knot. We had a go at making paper lotus flowers and tracing drawings of the eternal knot.\u00a0 In the story of Buddha we have been learning about how he found the path to enlightenment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Art<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In art we have been learning how to draw a well proportion portrait. We discovered that the distance between your eyes is the same as the width of your eye and that the length of your nose is the same as the width of your eye!\u00a0 \u00a0We have been using this information to draw portraits of the school staff. This week we will be learning how to shade our portraits.\u00a0 We have also been learning how to Zentangle which is a mindful way of doodling.<\/p>\n

Spanish<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In Spanish we have been learning how to say \u201cHello\u201d to different people at different times of the day and we have been learning how to ask someone what their name is.\u00a0 This week we will be learning to ask how someone is feeling.<\/p>\n

Class Caterpillars<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs Welsh told a story about the caterpillars in her garden.\u00a0 She wasn\u2019t very happy with them because they had eaten all her vegetable plants. We were interested in the caterpillars so she brought some in for us to watch going through their life cycle. We decided that the caterpillars are our new class pet.\u00a0 We really like them as they are quite cute. They are green\u00a0 and enjoy nibbling the Broccoli leaves Mrs Welsh brings from her garden.<\/p>\n
