This week we learned sports in GaelicππποΈπΈ
In class, we discussed what a figure of speech is and how it relates to the title of our class novel. We explored this image to identify different figures of speech. Ask your child which ones they discovered!
Recently, we explored characterisation by creating detailed outlines for two of the main characters in our class novel. We analysed their thoughts, feelings, actions, observations and journeys, using evidence from the text to justify our ideas.π§π©π
As part of our IDL topic on the Afghanistan War, we have been developing our understanding of the geography and history of Afghanistan. The children have explored key locations, significant events and how this relates to our class novel.πΊοΈ
Recently in RME, we have been learning about the religion of Hinduism. We explored some of the key gods and goddesses, first matching them to their descriptions and then carrying out further research. Working in groups, the children created informative posters to present their findings.π¨
Before beginning our new IDL topic on the Afghanistan War, we explored an image showing a house before and after. We used our inference skills to discuss and predict what may have happened, supporting our ideas with evidence from the picture.π π§±
This term we introduced a new novel study. We used text clues and examined symbolic items to help us predict what story might be about. Then created colour-coded mind maps to organise and present our initial predictions. We look forward to seeing how our ideas compare as we continue reading.π

In Numeracy, we have also been putting our rounding and estimating skills to good use in a fun group card game! Students worked together to use quick thinking, teamwork, and strategy while practising their maths skills.πππΌ
Recently in Numeracy, weβve been practicing our rounding and estimating skills. We used a number wheel to generate numbers, then challenged ourselves to round them and record our answers accurately. Everyone has been working hard and growing more confident with their number sense!π‘π
Last week, we boosted our writing skills by exploring synonyms for different adjectives in groups. Then, after some fun, fast-paced thesaurus races, we used our new vocabulary to enhance and polish our stories!βοΈπ

During Term 1 Numeracy, we had lots of fun strengthening our addition and subtraction skills through interactive Kahoot quizzes!π―πͺπΌ
As we began exploring our class novel Framed by Frank Cottrell Boyce, we gathered information about the main character and the setting to deepen our understanding of the story.
Last term in numeracy, we explored place value to help us become more confident with addition and subtraction. We had fun using a random number generator to make two-, three-, and four-digit numbers and used them to practise our skills!
Our P6S home learning grid for term 2 has been updated and uploaded on our Google classroomπ‘π
Through our class novel Framed by Frank Cottrell Boyce, weβve been exploring different art movements throughout history. In Term 1, we focused on Pointillism β working hard to create our own brilliant pieces inspired by this unique style.
