We have started our new topic. We will be learning all about Africa. We had a chat about what we already know and we have been thinking about what we would like to find out. Here are some questions we would like answered this term:

• How many countries are in Africa? Alexa
• What is the population of Africa? Kayla
• Why is it so hot in Africa? Stephen
• What animals live there? Are they different to here? Stephen
• Are any of the animals dangerous? Amie
• What sorts of foods are popular in Africa? Miron
• What minerals are in Africa? Where are the diamond mines? Miron
• How long is the Nile? Rachele
• Can you swim in the Nile? Iona
• Is Christmas celebrated in Africa? Miron

We will be investigating and finding answers to these questions this term. We look forward to sharing our learning with you.

This term we have been taking part in fun-themed fitness on Thursdays and developing our gymnastics on a Friday.

So far we have worked on:

• balancing
• travelling
• jumping

Today we used our creativity and combined these into sequences to present to each other for feedback.

Here are some action shots. Can you tell if we are in the middle of balancing, travelling or jumping?

Please find attached a link to Primary Six’s overview of what we will be learning this term. A reminder that with our time at the Craggs sport centre being over, PE will now take place on Thursdays and Fridays. Children are expected to have their PE kit with them on these days.

This term primary six will be continuing to share their learning, with a particular emphasis on articulating what they have learnt and how they know. To this end we now have a ‘Sharing Our Success’ wall in the classroom. Children are encouraged to place any work they are particularly proud of in their individual folder on the wall. Over the year your child should build up a record of work and learning that they are proud of. Please ask your child what is currently in their folder and what they were learning.

Thank you!
