STEM in P6a with Kapla

P6a were working on their STEM skills using Kapla today. They had the opportunity to look at the material and then plan out their designs. Their design brief was to create a European landmark, at least 30 cm tall that must be recognisable and be 3D.

Pupils successfully worked together to create their designs.

Well done Aysha!

Aysha created and presented a PowerPoint on Ramadan and Islam to teach P6a about her beliefs.

Well done to Rafay who build on Aysha’s presentation with his own knowledge.

Italian

P6a continued their 1+2 lessons in Italian today revising greetings and numbers. They learned some names of common animals and then combined Italian with ICT by using IPads to research some common landmarks and food in Italy. They children commented that this related to their Europe topic and made them want to learn about Italy even more.

The Northern Lights

As part of their social studies topic, P6a have been learning about Norway, which also links to their current novel study.

They have been learning about the phenomenon called Aurora borealis known as “The Northern Lights” are created. They then used chalk pastels to create their own interpretation of the images they had seen.
