P6a used their observational skills to check for any changes in their science experiment. They used the microscopes to observe a selection of cells to become familiar with the equipment and analysing slides before looking at the bacteria once it has bred.
They have some new hand washing posters with lyrics to their favourite songs to help them wash their hands for long enough.
Pupils have been learning about bacteria and germs and participated in an experiment to assess the effects of a variety of conditions on bacteria growth. Underpinning this experiment was the importance of washing your hands. They used bread as a visual stimulus for this experiment.
Children will monitor and record the difference in bacteria growth over the next two weeks.
P6a share their knowledge and skills with P1 on Friday when they helped them design and create 3D shapes and structures from Kapla. They worked together to help the infants problem solve, create and adapt their designs. There was a fantastic sharing of mathematical and engineering language.
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.
P6a have been learning about mixtures and chemical reactions. They have focused on separating mixtures of materials.
This week in P6a we were researching and learning about the Space race and the lunar landing in 1969. This was used as inspiration for our writing, ICT and art lessons.
Unfortunately the weather on Friday wasn’t the best so we didn’t make it to the MUGA for PE but we improvised and worked on our fitness in the classroom with some energetic moves!
