Today we were learning about scale drawings. #welovemaths #lifeskills #architectsandengineersinthemaking

[Denbeath Primary P6/7 @DenbeathP6_7]

Today we have been talking about #growthmindset and why mistakes are good. We watched a clip of @MJ_Quotes "I have failed over and over again in life, and that is why I succeed." We then thought about what makes a successful learner and did a problem solving task to show this.

Decimals are tricky and we've nailed it!! Mrs Waters is one super proud teacher this week! #welovemaths #proudteacher

We really enjoyed studying the book Holes in term 1 so this term we are trying another book by the same author. We've read chapters one and two and it looks like it's going to be just as good 👏😌 #literacy @LouisSachar

Today we used our class novel #holes to learn about cause and effect. #literacy #louissachar

For PE this week, we did a fitness circuits course. Mrs Waters was very impressed with our #synergising and how much we pushed ourselves. #fitness #challenge

To help us understand how to make a point about a piece of text and explain it in an effective way we have been learning about the P.E.E method (Point, Evidence, Explanation) #literacy #holesnovel #lifeskills

Another day, another challenging maths lesson. #strategies #chillichallenge #welovemaths

[Denbeath Primary P6/7 @DenbeathP6_7]

This morning we enjoyed some quality reading time with our #literacycircles groups. We all did a fab job of summarising, clarifying and creating open questions about our chosen novel. #synergising #lifeskills

Step 3 - We added lots of detail to our fossils.

[Denbeath Primary P6/7 @DenbeathP6_7]

Step 2 - We flattened our clay and started to sketch our fossil implant.

[Denbeath Primary P6/7 @DenbeathP6_7]

In our novel @Holes, Stanley found a fossil while he was digging his hole, so we investigated different types of fossils and wanted to create our own type of 'cast fossil.' #creativity #learningacrossthecurriculum #linkingourlearning
Step 1 - We started with a sketch of a fossil

One of our pupils learned how to use cubes to help him understand division better. He then felt confident enough to teach one of his buddies the strategy he had learned. #synergising #learnersbecomingleaders #metacognition

[Denbeath Primary P6/7 @DenbeathP6_7]

Some of us had a really good understanding of single digit division earlier in the week, so Mrs Waters challenged us today with double digit divsion..."this is hard, I'm loving it!" #challenge #pace #welovemaths

[Denbeath Primary P6/7 @DenbeathP6_7]

Using different strategies and resources to help us with our maths this morning. #learningstylesmatter #success #welovemaths

[Denbeath Primary P6/7 @DenbeathP6_7]

P6/7 and @denbeathp5_6 teamed up this afternoon to talk about children's rights. We heard some great discussions about 'needs' and 'wants'. There was some debate about how we ordered our needs and wants in terms of importance. @UNICEF #rightsandresponsibilites #teamwork

[Denbeath Primary P6/7 @DenbeathP6_7]

We have been revising our understanding of large numbers and multiplication this week. #welovemaths #mathsisfun #successfullearners

[Denbeath Primary P6/7 @DenbeathP6_7]

Rachel from @dogstrust came in to give us a workshop about how to stay safe around dogs today. We represented ourselves very well by being very #respectful and thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.

[Denbeath Primary P6/7 @DenbeathP6_7]

We #synergised to create our Class Mission Statement. We are looking forward to sharing this with the rest of the school during Friday Feedback. #readyrespectfulsafe #7habits #leadersinthemaking #strivingforsuccess
