Good Morning Everyone,
A round up of our week in Primary 6/7.
First, a huge Congratulations to this week’s stars. Keep an eye on your postbox!
Primary 6/7 wrote lovely letters to the younger children this week. As most of you know, we have a buddy system in place at Milton to support the Nursery children with their transition into Primary one. Miss Crew set the task for their writing this week and we had some very grateful little people who were delighted to receive their letters. We have one or two still to come but I’m confident we will get them soon.
The class novel is receiving mixed reviews. I think ‘Holes’ is a tough one to beat but please encourage your child to stick with ‘There’s a Boy in the Girl’s Bathroom’. It’s really interesting to have different perspectives on it as we progress through it. We will be making a point of discussing this on our Google meets so please strongly encourage your child to catch up on any chapters they may have missed. I uploaded these onto Google Classroom on Friday but they can also listen to the audio, if they’d prefer. The link is also posted on Google Classroom.
Maths this week was all things angles and shape! I have to admit, I questioned myself with Miss Crew’s angles tasks. Something I found really challenging at school so it’s good to revisit it as an adult, thankfully it doesn’t haunt me too much. I looked at shapes in the environment with the children as well as 3D shape nets (also tricky to visualise). We will progress with both of these subject areas next week.
I hope you managed to see the Staff’s Fruity Friday challenge set by Miss O’Brien. Miss Robinson has set a whole school challenge which you can see on the main school blog, we are delighted to be able to involve the children in this one as we’ve no doubt they’ll come up with better ideas than us!
Have a great week, week 7 of Home Learning pending….
