This week we learned all about accumulation, evaporation, condensation and precipitation in relation to the water cycle. We completed a science experiment in which we created our own water cycles in bags. We also came up with ideas on how we can measure rainfall, these will be further explored next week.

During PE we have been learning how to skip with Mrs Cook and to play basketball with Miss Higgins.

For ICT we began creating ‘all about me’ Power Points to practice our skills.

We continued learning about descriptive writing and wrote some short descriptive stories. We also read some more of our class novel, The BFG.

On Thursday, we welcomed our families into our classroom for our Numeracy Open Morning. During this time we played addition 4-in-a-row, multiplication bingo, practiced our multiplication on Top Marks, and we used dice to create the biggest number we could to help us learn more about place value.

We also completed some meditations as a whole class to encourage mindfulness.

This week we continued exploring our new topic – The Rainforest. We learned all about why most rainforests are located on the equator, and about the layers of the rainforest.

We have also been learning more about place value and rounding. Today we drew place value grids onto our desks and the pupils drew counters in the boxes to create three and four digit numbers.

For literacy, we completed a description writing relay. Pupils were given a card with an item on it which they had to describe and were racing to complete as many descriptions as possible.

In PE pupils made use of the parachute and different games were played.

The class have also been learning about music and have had experience using the glockenspiels and clapping along with the beat of different songs.

Just a quick reminder that our PE days are on a Wednesday and Friday. Please ensure that appropriate kit and a change of shoes are brought to school. 

We have had a great start to P6!

This week we have spent time getting to know each other. We did this through a summer check-in, by playing some team-building games and making our own wordsearches about us.

We created a class time capsule which we will open again at the end of the school year. To do so, we wrote letters to our future selves. In these letters we wrote about our hopes for the future and about our current interests and favourite things.

We have also been learing about Place Value through creating numbers with dice and partitioning them into their thousands, tens and units.

We also created our class charter.
