Mrs Fry came into our class on Monday and Wednesday to teach two groups how to apply different strategies involving the four number processes. Mrs Fry will be joining us ever Monday and Wednesday during our maths sessions to teach us more about this area. Mr Atkinson on Tuesdays and Thursdays will be teaching us different topics. This week with Mr Atkinson the two groups have been been learning about how to convert kilograms and grams and how to us these measurements in addition and subtraction calculations. We finished the week with word problem solving questions as an end of topic check up. Next week the group will be moving onto another new area of maths.
Emmy Noether have been working hard on their maths volume topic. First we learnt that 1 cm³ ≡ 1 mL, then we solved questions using the formula LxBxH. Finally, we created our very own 3D shapes using the volumes made up by Mr Atkinson. We also had a measurement of volumes showdown which required us to correctly convert measurements, read the different scales and state the total volume within the jugs.
Isaac Newton have started their new topic on 3D shape properties. This week we identified different 3D shapes and then correctly named them. Also we have been revising our symmetry and ML/L topics that we were working on last term.
This week we also completed our science lessons related to the Titanic IDL topic. A few weeks ago we put non-galvanised nails into different liquids to see whether they rust and how their appearance changes. On Monday we checked to see the results and we noted that all the liquids had created some degree of rusting. Some of liquids evaporated leaving behind salt particles and some of the substances in the cup had discoloured .
We played three football matches in P.E. this week and finished off with a game which involves lining up in a straight line and running across the other side of the hall. If ball touches your feet or legs you had to join the opposition.
In art we completed our Road Safety posters for a competition. Then we all voted anonymously for our favourites.
Mr Atkinson’s Comment
Excellent work this week P6B! You all had some fantastic ideas about what we should learn about in our upcoming Natural Disasters topic. Next week we will learn about Fault lines and the Ring of Fire. We are looking forward to having Mrs Fry join us during our maths sessions! DYW has changed to Friday periods 3 and 4 (between break and lunch), however, we will still have P.E. on a Friday either in the MUGA or gym hall during periods 5 and 6 (after lunch).
