Primary 6/7 - Friday 13th November

Primary 6/7 have had a wonderful week in school with lots of interesting and engaging 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 this week:

Tickled Pink (things that we feel went well):

• We felt that we made did some great work in Writing this week as we worked hard on developing our skills with the recount writing genre. We felt that everyone tried hard and focused well and we enjoyed the task being linked to our previous class novel
• We really enjoyed our Rights Day in school on Friday morning as we though that it was great fun and so important to continue learning about children’s rights. We also all did a wonderful job with supporting our buddies and other younger children in school with the Rights Day activities
• Lots of us enjoyed our handball session in PE and we demonstrated wonderful throwing, catching, movement and shooting skills

• We really enjoyed our Maths work on rounding with decimals this week as we felt that we did very well with it and it wasn’t too difficult
• Our Primary 7s who went to Deans CHS on Wednesday afternoon, really enjoyed the Maths transition lesson and took part very enthusiastically, demonstrating wonderful Maths thought processes
• Lots of us enjoyed our Mental Maths session this week, which focused on converting metric measurements by dividing and multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000
• We enjoyed our basketball PE lesson as it was interesting to assess other players basketball skills

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

• Some of us found the Spanish transition lesson a little tricky, especially the pronunciation of the key Spanish words and phrases that we were working on this week
• Some of us were concerned about some of the class not being responsible during break time this week

• Some of us felt that finding some of the articles during the orienteering activity on Rights Day was a bit tricky as they were a little difficult to find

Our school value award winners for this week are Zac and Connor. Congratulations!

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