Snapshot of P6B’s learning!

Over the last two weeks we have written two pieces based on the Harry Potter novel series, potion recipes and informal letters to our pen-pals at Hogwarts. To aid us, we have been using the Chromebooks, dictionaries and our WOW word pyramids. Some of our friends in class have also been bringing in wands, maps, illustrations and books to help bring our topic to life!

In French we have been revising greetings and phrases to introduce ourselves. This week we pretended to be different characters and we had to ask each other questions to find out who our partner was. Some of the characters included the Marvel Superheros and popular actors!

In P.E. we have started honing our skills related to Football. First we practised dribbling by moving around the gym hall, changing direction and maneuvering around different objects. We then played group games which challenged us to link up three passes before we could score a point. Next week we will continue to improve our passing and communication skills.

In Maths some groups have been identifying lines of symmetry on a range of 2D shapes by folding and cutting them out of paper. Another group have been learning about the ML and L by using a range of jugs and tubes. Some pupils have been revising the area formula for rectangles and squares and have begun to apply this to help with calculating the area of right angled triangles and irregular shapes.

After reading the next few chapters in Harry Potter we completed work based on characterisation and understanding of the text. This week we have been listening to the audiobook as we have read along.

Mr Atkinson’s Comment

Another great week in P6B! Thank you to everyone for bringing in lots of items to help us build our ships, I have been overwhelmed with all the donations! It was fantastic to meet some of the P6B adults at the Meet the Teacher session, the pupils thoroughly enjoyed the Harry Potter code-breaker puzzle. Please remember to submit your homework on a Monday so that it can be marked and returned on time.
