Happy Friday everyone!

It’s been another productive week in P6. Here is a review of what we’ve been doing.

In Numeracy we finished off our unit on Rounding and Estimating and completed our first assessment. In maths we’ve continued to focus on the properties of 2D shapes.

The spelling focus was plural nouns and we were issued with a new homework jotter to record the spelling tasks we have completed. On Tuesday, we all did a shared reading task about a boy who turned into a dog! We then used that idea to create our own story about a day in the life of a pet. We’re looking forward to sharing our stories with the class.

We had a very exciting time on Wednesday for our STEM Air Race Challenge with Miss Gibson. We got to fly our drone in the gym hall. It was quite tricky but we will keep practising. We have designed obstacle courses for the drone which we’re looking forward to setting up.

We have been observing the changes in nature and we looked closely at the colours of autumn leaves. We then used pastels to colour match and create our own pictures.

For our topic this week we investigated the effects of friction. We used a Newton meter to measure the grip of our trainers. Mrs Wilson was impressed at how well we worked collaboratively.

We are looking forward to our visit to the Dick Institute next Friday.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.
