On Friday 28th May we did a house quiz. The house captains had created different categories. We all had great fun!
Abertay University posted a video containing a challenge to build a bridge with a span of 75cm that could hold 250g.
We had to bring in various recyclable materials that we could build the bridges from.
We had to decide between building a compression or tension bridge.
We then planned out our bridge and decided on materials and the bridge type-Arch, Girder, Truss, Suspension, Moveable, Cable- Stayed and Cantilever.
We then formed partners and began the building. We followed our plan to build the bridge and we used our creativity skills. Some bridges worked whilst others did not so we used our initiative to make improvements.
The upper school have been working with MicroBits.
We have been making flashing images.
The digital leaders in our classes have been helping us and teaching us about MicroBits.
We programmed the MicroBits to show our name as well as making games on our MicroBits.
We thought it was interesting and fun and in order to do it we used our coding skills to programme the MicroBits.
Since we returned to school we have been very busy! Here is a snapshot of some of the things we have been doing…..
We have been doing different types of persuasive writing including persuasive letters about Caterpillar cakes and School uniform. We also wrote a debate opening statement on whether children should have mobile phones.
We created Trees of Life – These included our Wishes and Dreams, important people in our lives and things we are good at.
Over the past couple of weeks we have taken part in a range of Sports Day activities including Potted Sports, Flat race, Long distance run, Egg and Spoon and skipping races. We are currently doing our Sports Champion events
We were using our 5 sense to create questions about nature. e.g. How does grass grow?
We have been creating posters which provide advice for a woman about how to stay healthy during pregnancy.
We have been using Scratch to create amazing animations by carrying coding activities guided by our Digital Leaders Alex and Jake.
