Snapshot of P6A’s learning!

We started the week by visiting the science room once again to write a Lab Report about last week’s experiment. We had to include the aim of the experiment, hypotheses, a prediction, an annotated, scientific diagram and a table of results. After this, we continued to work on our Titanic posters and we are so very proud of them.

During our literacy lessons, we learned our new spelling words and sounds and completed many active spelling activities. The playdough was probably our favourite. Afterwards, we listened to the next episode in our 6-minute story podcast and predicted what would happen next.

P6 also had a visit from one of the Eastwood High School music teachers who taught us all about brass instruments!

After reading the next few chapters in Harry Potter we completed an inference and character sheet to develop a deeper understanding of the text. After we had all read a section from the book we enjoyed snuggling down in the classroom to listen to Miss Estlick read the rest of the chapter.

In our different maths groups, we have been learning about 2D shape, time, area and perimeter. We have loved using our new maths resources and creating posters about our new topic.

In PE this week, we have been focusing on fitness. We loved completing a warm up to some music and completing a plank VS wall-sit challenge. Afterwards we completed the press up cha cha slide challenge and many of us made it through the whole song!

We also celebrated success this week by sharing our awards and medals with the class.

Committees are already up and running! A big thank you to our JRSO’s for taking a survey this week on how we get to school.

Miss Estlick’s Comment

Well done everyone for completing all of your homework this week!

Quick reminders:

Please bring in your mugs for the Diversity day competition.

Over the next few weeks both P6 classes will be designing their own model ships as part of their IDL Titanic topic. The design process will involve researching the components and structures of ships and then create a model ship. In order for the pupils to compare and test whether their ships are buoyant we require a range of materials. If you have any material such as cardboard (cereal boxes) or empty bottles we would appreciate if these could be donated to the school, they will be stored in the art pod. We will be collecting these until the September weekend.
