We celebrated finishing our class novel today with some Marvellous.Medicine IDL fun. We had a quiz, created medicine recipes and did an experiment. We learned a new word and made a 'hypothesis'.
We've also enjoyed working on our discovery grid to extend our meta skills.
Enjoy the Oct break ❤️

We learned about another world religion today. Thank you so much to the children that helped teach us about Islam and what it means to be Muslim. We loved seeing items used to pray and hear about festivals celebrated. We identified the similarities to our Catholic Faith

We started maths week by exploring how maths is used in jobs. We looked at ceramic tilers and weavers roles and how they use repeated pattern/colour in design. We have been learning about tesselation and how it is used in craft and design. Patience, problem solving and creativity skills required! 😁

Today as part of #mathsweekscotland we were ceramic tiling designers! We used our knowledge of shape to make our pattern. We added colour too. We needed to use a ruler to make our pattern fit and work.

Today we were learning about the orange emotions work cog - emotion words. We learned some new words for familiar feelings such as happy and angry. We then used natural materials during outdoor learning to recreate some of these emotions. Well done R6!
