Primary 6W Blog \u2013 28.1.22<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

In numeracy we have been learning how to calculate the missing digit in an algebra equation. We have been sharing different strategies and finding the one that works best for us.\u00a0 In maths, we have been learning how to calculate and measure angles using a protractor.<\/p>\n

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

In literacy we have been focussing on the Scots Language as part of our Whole School Project.\u00a0 We learned a range of Scottish words including \u201cWheesht,\u201d and \u201cGlasik.\u201d\u00a0 We were then using the words learned during our spelling tasks to translate familiar stories into Scots.\u00a0 We have also been looking at famous Scots cartoon characters \u2013 The Broons and Oor Wullie.\u00a0 We discussed characterisation and then used that knowledge to complete a selection of comic strips. We have also been learning a selection of Scottish poems for our Scottish Poetry Recital.<\/p>\n

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

In PE we have been working on our Handball skills.\u00a0 We have been practising controlling the ball with our hands \u2013 bouncing, shooting and intercepting.\u00a0 We have also been working on an Orienteering project where we have been improving our map reading skills.\u00a0 We plan to link this to our Scots topic and create our own Oor Wullie Bucket Trail, modelled on the original one in 2019.<\/p>\n

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

As part of our Scots focus, we had a go at making Scotch broth soup.\u00a0 We read the recipe, followed the instructions and prepared all the ingredients independently before of course sampling!<\/p>\n

We have also been carrying out scientific experiments looking at the properties of different materials.\u00a0 We have tested magnetism, flexibility, transparency, Conductivity and ability to insulate effectively.<\/p>\n

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

We have been discussing our Dreams and Goals for the future.\u00a0 We have created electronic presentations to share with the rest of the class.<\/p>\n
