P6B have settled right back in after the holidays and we’ve had a busy week.

“In P.E we were doing tennis. The first thing we did was bouncing the ball up and down on the racquet. Then we got into partners and we were passing the ball to each other.” Charlotte

We’ve also begun a block of gymnastics and focused on stretches and balances today.

“We were learning about the brain and the different parts and how we use them to learn. We debated the question, is the brain the most important organ in the body. Most of us agreed that all organs are important. Then we made models out of either tissue paper or Lego showing the different parts of the brain. There were two types of brains you could make, either the basic 4 parts or the challenge of trying to show all the different parts.” Rosie and Becki

“With Mrs Hutchison we were doing drama. We needed to all become something and then freeze in that pose. We did a competition where 5 people had to do a freeze frame and then the others voted which was best.” Ross G

“We started to decide on a new topic, which is going to be something about nature. It’s either going to be blue planet, the rain forest or frozen planet. We watched some videos from each climate before we voted.” Ryan

“We started looking at measure in maths. We looked at current and historic units of measure, for example millimetres, paces, feet, miles, kilometres and hands. We used rulers to measure in centimetres and millimetres. 1 cm is 10mm. We also practised estimating lengths.” Dawud and Ross J.

“In literacy this week we read about New Year traditions and used this to practise clarifying words. We worked on our handwriting, we wrote the alphabet and our partners pointed out which letters needed some attention. In our writing lesson we learned about plot. We picked a story and thought about the beginning, build up, problem, resolution and ending. We talked about the 7 different types of plot, overcoming the monster, rebirth, voyage and return, tragedy, rags to riches, comedy and quest.” Helena, Alfie, Myra, Ross J, Ella, Haniya, Ryan, Emily, Becki and Isla
