Primary 6/7 - Friday 21st February 2025

Primary 6/7 have had a great first week back after the February break, with lots of great learning activities in class. On Friday morning, we discussed our week in school and decided that we would like to share these thoughts about our learning:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We enjoyed continuing to work on Distance, Speed and Time in class as we felt it wasn’t too difficult once we understood how to use the formulae
• We also enjoyed starting our work on debating this week because we are happy to develop our argumentative skills!
• We continued to enjoy our badminton focus in PE as we changed our focus to backhand shots this week
• In Art, we enjoyed choosing and creating our illustrations from the “Kidnappit” book which was part of our Scottish Literature focus during our mini-focus on Scotland and Burns
• We enjoyed starting our persuasive writing about animal testing in our Writing lesson and this will also be the focus for our first class debate this term
• We all enjoyed our teacher led reading sessions this week and the rich (and sometimes fun!) discussions during our non-fiction focus

Green for Growth (things that we need to do to improve our learning):

• Some of us found learning about Volume a bit tricky in Maths with Mrs Baird and we will continue to focus on this next week
• Some of us also felt that our Reading task on Fact vs Opinion with Mrs Baird was a bit difficult
• Some of us also found the “Kidnappit” art a bit tricky because of the level of detail required to recreate the pictures

Our school value award winners for this week are Abbie and Alfie.

Our lead learners this week were Shiva, Brodie, Niamh, Che, Darcey and Faith. The set these three targets for the class this week:

• be respectful to teachers
• use resources responsibly
• don’t swing on chairs

Our lead learners observed many children across the class meeting these targets all week, which was wonderful.

Well done for a brilliant week, P6/7. Have a lovely weekend.
