It’s nearly the end of Primary 6 and you have been such a fabulous year group.

Write a letter to your P7 teacher, telling them what you want them to know about you, anything you’re worried or excited about. If you can handwrite it and send a photo or scan on Assignments, that would also let them know what they can expect from you next year. Lots of detail, please – entertain me and your new teacher!

Please don’t be worried about having forgotten things or the changes in school – everyone is the same and we will all work together. There will be a lot of revision!

We are learning to use different mental strategies for addition and subtraction.

We are learning to consolidate our knowledge from Primary 6

Thursday 18th June at 11am – meet on Teams to discuss how you’re feeling about the changes in school now and in August – and about changing teacher!

See Mathletics (3P Learning) worksheets below. The first two are games so have fun.

Remember this is mental practice -make sure you’re thinking about your thinking!

As always, ask for help if you need it.

1. Complete Sumdog Challenge (this challenge will contain a range of topics from across your time in Primary 6)

2. Pick one topic that you enjoyed in Primary 6. Create a poster that could help people struggling with that concept understand it a little better.

3. Share your poster on teams.

4. Look at your Maths Target. Have you achieved it? If you haven’t what could you do to achieve it before the end of the year?

This should include a map showing where in Scotland (or other country) your stretch of coast is, a map of the coast in detail, information about creatures which live on the beach or in the sea IN THAT AREA, plus anything else you find interesting. This can be typed or written or a mixture of both. Remember to use your own words, only pictures can be copied and pasted. You can use Word, Powerpoint, Sway, video, paper – any medium you like! This is a two-week project and can be submitted as an Assignment up until Thursday 25th June…but if you do it this week – you don’t have to do it next week!

Task 1: IMPORTANT! Music is a great way to relax and distress (although your parents might not feel too stress-free by the end of this project!)

If you haven’t already, join the YMI #together Team, choose your instrument(s) and submit a video on the Team (closing date Friday) If you don’t want to do a video, that is fine. Then give us some feedback in our class Team’s Assignment.

Spelling Chilli Challenge

From the word lists below, select the set that will challenge you at an appropriate level.
