This afternoon during music we created our own beats and the rest of the class had to follow one person. We were learning about beats within bars such as:
We were able then then make our own music with instruments such as bongos, triangles, drums, recorders and tambourines.
Yesterday was National Holocaust Remembrance day. To mark this occasion with the link to WW2, Miss Maybury taught a fantastic lesson from the perspective of a holocaust survivor. We had to use our note taking skills which we are developing within literacy to take notes of a holocaust survivors recount during WW2. Then we created our own codes to write a message to Isabella. Many of us choose to write Isabella messages of support telling her to stay strong and that the war would soon be over.
Well done to Bismah with her achievement at Kumon. She has been doing excellent math work in her free time at Kumon and the extra work is showing in her work in class too! Keep up the good work!
This afternoon we were learning about energy conservation and energy transformation. We have been examining how energy transfers to other sources and what its qualities are.
Today we were learning how to calculate time duration. We created our own questions to ask each other!
This afternoon we were learning all about different kinds of energy during science and how it is generated. We were learning that energy comes in the following forms:
We used our bodies to demonstrate the different ways energy moves and is created and then we worked in groups to create posters about what we have learned and then we presented them to the class.
We had a great time this afternoon working on our team building skills when we were completing the tasks set up by Miss Maybury. We spoke before we took on the challenges about what makes good team work and here are some of our suggestions:
All of these suggestions were clearly demonstrated during the challenges.
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 .
