We had great fun this morning competing in the Christmas quiz with the P7/6 class. There were 2 winning teams so it went down to a nail biting final question round between the 2 teams.

This morning we looked at budgeting and how to budget for a Christmas dinner. Each group had a different family to feed; some people had 7 in the family and others had only 4 and all had £100 to spend. We had to plan and calculate the total cost it would be to feed each family a full Christmas meal with a vegetarian there too! It was very eye opening to see how much Christmas does actually cost!

This morning we counted up the final takings for the Virgin Money Make £5 grow campaign and the year group made a fantastic profit of £599!!! Well done to everyone (including parents 🙂 ) who took part and spent lots of time at home making their wonderful crafts and games. Extra well done to “The Winter Wonders”  who made the most profit of £92.80 .

This morning the Einsteins were using their knowledge of 3D shapes to construct 3D shapes from their nets.  They were so proud of their nets they then wanted to create an quick imovie to show them off. Click the link below to watch the movie.

This afternoon we worked in groups of 3 and 4 to write scripts. We were tasked with writing a short script to a short film (1 min in length) to show either what could happen to a civilian during the blitz or the journey of an evacuee to their new home. On Thursday we will use the green screens to film our scripts and then i movie to cut and edit our films. 

This morning we held our first learning workshop. It was great to see so many relatives and we really enjoyed participating in the math games with them. We were teaching them how to play loop card fractions and then we had stations which showed off our knowledge of 3D shape, angles and multiplication strategies.

All the stalls were stocked and ready for selling at break today. Nearly everyone made sales which was great to see on the first day. There was lots of excitement from the other pupils when they saw what was on sale so we expect lots of demand tomorrow.

This morning we made our own gas masks using string, cellophane, mesh and glue!

We used our knowledge of measurement to measure out in cm the size of a gas mask box. We were able to follow instructions given from a template and convert it using a scale to draw the correct dimensions. It was harder than we thought it would be but lots of good team work and communication allowed us to finally build them!
