Our writing focus for this term has been instructional writing. We have learned about imperative verbs and why they are necessary, particularly in pieces of instructional writing, e.g. recipes, instruction booklet, manuals etc.
We needed to put theory into practice, therefore we made top hats and wrote a piece of instructional writing to reflect the method we used.
Fortunately, our methodology was perfect and the top hats were even better!
As a keen historian, Conor has been extremely enthusiastic about our World Around Us topic, 'The Vikings'. Conor decided he would love to impart his very impressive knowledge about the Vikings onto his classmates by creating a wonderful presentation filled with facts and quiz questions.
As a class we thoroughly enjoyed Conor's presentation and were very proud of the standard of work he produced!
To conclude their study of The Vikings, Primary 6 children enjoyed a brilliant day at Ballydugan Medieval Settlement yesterday.
The children were brought to the Longhouse, where the Jarl greeted them and talked about Viking life.
The children then rotated around a number of hands on activities and demonstrations related to Viking life.
To conclude the trip, they witnessed a performance of fight techniques and battles skills, demonstrated by the warriors before partaking in a Viking battle drill, taking on the real Vikings in a shield wall battle formation.
