‘Welcome to the last blog of 2021!’ Emilia

 

‘Last week, in outdoor learning we were creating Santa’s sleigh out of materials lying on the ground.’ Evan

‘My team created the sleigh out of lots of wooden planks. We used logs for seats and ivy for the reigns to use for reindeer.’ Bella

‘We split our group into roles. In my group Lauren and I were Santa and some people were reindeer and some were elves!’ Molly

 

‘In design technology we had to make a different version of Santa’s sleigh that was environmentally friendly and aerodynamic. We used tinkercad.com on the Chromebook and I enjoyed this a lot!’ James

‘I also enjoyed this because I like using the Chromebooks.’ Hamiz

‘My group made our sleigh electric powered by batteries and we put a hemisphere shape at the front to make it aerodynamic.’ Jessica

‘We also had to make it aesthetically pleasing, so we had to think carefully about the colours and shapes we used.’ Molly

 

 

‘During science, we had to separate different materials. There was flour and raisins, salt and water, rice and paperclips, sand and water.’ Heather

‘My table chose a funnel and filter paper to separate the sand and water mixture and it worked!’ Emilia

‘We used magnets to get the paperclips out of the rice.’ Cara

‘Then we used a sieve to separate the raisins and the flour. This worked really well but it got our table all messy!’ Molly

‘We also watched Bill Nye the Science Guy and he taught us that we can turn ice into water and then into a gas.’ Ayyan

‘I enjoyed this task because I like science and experimenting.’ Evan

 

 

 

‘In writing, we watched a video of the new John Lewis Christmas advert and we picked one of the two characters and described their point of view.’ Harry

‘Writing was quite fun because we haven’t written about adverts before so it was quite different.’ Euan

‘I wrote from the perspective of Skye, who is an alien from a different planet and her ship malfunctions so she lands on Earth. She doesn’t know what snow is or what Christmas is either!’ Luca Fi

‘I also wrote from Skye’s perspective and I thought it was fun writing about an alien crash landing on Earth because it sounded like a real adventure.’ Ayyan

‘On Thursday it was our Christmas Party! It was really fun because we played loads of games and we got prizes like chocolate and coloured pens for the winners!’ Ayyan

‘Two of the games were pass the parcel and corners. Evan won corners and Bella, Ayyan and Hamiz won pass the parcel.’ Sam

‘Jessica won best dancer because she is really good at the Cha Cha Slide!’ Molly.

‘Back in class we watched a clip of The Snowman and had crisps, juice and a chocolate treat.’ Heather

‘What I liked about the party, was making a huge conga line, corners and winning chocolate!’ Bella

‘Thank you for reading today’s blog and we will see you in 2022! Have  a great Christmas!’ Molly

Hello blog followers, welcome back to our blog this week!

‘On Monday, Miss Bruce joined our class. She is a new student teacher who will be with us after Christmas for 10 more weeks!’ Isla

‘In Science, we had ingredients like sugar, salt, flour, pepper and rice. We put them into 100ml of water and investigated if they would dissolve.’ Hamiz

‘Our experiment was all about dissolving materials in water.’ Warren

‘We learned that soluble materials can dissolve in a liquid. If it is insoluble, it won’t dissolve.’ Jessica

‘Each group had a sheet and we had to predict which material would dissolve in the beaker of water. After that we found out the real answers by testing them. Soluble materials were salt and sugar. Insoluble materials were pepper, rice and flour.’ Ayyan

 

‘During Maths, some people were learning to place decimal numbers on a number line. We got to go into groups and create a giant number line and tried to figure which number goes where.’ Lexi

‘Other people were enjoying playing their favourite Maths game on a Chromebook. My favourite one is called Guardians of Mathematica!’ James

‘My favourite Maths website is Sumdog  because there are lots of fun games to play.’ Molly

‘When we were learning about algebra, it was tricky because there were two letters in the equation, instead of just 1.’ Sam

 

‘This week we also got to go on a trip to the local church! I enjoyed this not just for the cookies and juice we got but also because of the funny actors.’ Hamiz

‘The trip was all about advent and actors explained it.’ Skye

‘When we arrived at the church we got to watch the drama team acting out stories about advent.’ Lauren

‘We got to decorate larger tiles with mosaic tiles with different pictures, a candle, a stable or a present.’ Tia

‘Another activity that we did at the church, was writing on the back of a scratchy star what we had learned about the birth of Jesus and the nativity. On the front we got to decorate with a pattern.’ Molly

 

‘On Thursday, a class at time, we got to see our buddies do their nativity play.’ Luca Fi

‘The nativity was really good and all the P1s were great at acting!’ Sam

‘I really enjoyed hearing their songs!’ Cara

 

 

‘In P.E. we did fitness in our classroom, as it was icy outside, with Joe Wicks.’ Hamiz

 

‘Our new reading book for the next few weeks is different because it is a whole class novel. We started by trying to draw out the front cover with Mrs Nasar describing it.’ Euan

‘The book is called Chill and we read that it is set in a haunted house, surrounded by snow and ice!’ Eleanor

 

‘On Friday it was Christmas Jumper Day but we also got to visit the present room! Everything was just £2.’ Heather

‘Thank you for reading our blog this week, have a great weekend!’ Ayyan

 

Welcome back to this week’s blog!

 

‘This week we have been learning about Road Safety. Our JRSOs quizzed each class and we had to vote on the answers to each question.’ Bella

‘We had a choice to write a letter to an MP, create a logo for social media or design a poster to share about road safety.’  Warren

‘I think creating the posters was really fun and Mrs Hobson will reveal which ones are the winners in our class for a smelly sticker!’ Sam

‘In writing this week, we were redrafting our edited text from last week. I found this really fun because I never knew that my writing could improve this much!’ Molly

‘I up-levelled my magical forest story and I thought this lesson was really fun. We got to improve our stories.’ Lexi

‘I really enjoyed rewriting an old story and I made the redrafted version more entertaining and joyful.’ Evan

 

‘In Outdoor Learning we used the leaves that we collected last week to make Autumnal bunting.’ Cara

‘We completed this lesson in class so that the leaves wouldn’t blow away and so we could use a flat surface to make our bunting.’ Lauren

‘I enjoyed making the bunting because we got to try out different methods of attaching the leaves, such as using glue, tape or string.’ Beth

 

‘In Maths, some people were learning about decimals. We used chocolate to  help us understand this.’ Tia

‘I go to be the teacher and explain which answer I thought was correct and why.’ Euan

‘Some people were learning to complete algebra calculations involving 2 steps.’ Luca Fi

‘In Maths, we were also learning about lines of symmetry in different shapes. We watched a video with a funny song – Everywhere you look, you see lines of symmetry, lines of symmteryyyyyyy…’ Lauren

‘In Health and Wellbeing we were learning about BOUNCEBACK. We got a text to read and each paragraph described helpful and unhelpful thinking.’ Jessica

‘After that, we read a cartoon and decided on which phases were unhelpful thinking and then we suggested advice.’  Eleanor

 

‘In P.E. we played a 5 a side basketball match and there were commentators who were Molly and Bruce. They gave all the spectators detailed information about the game.’ Ayyan

‘Star players were Ayyan, Luca Fi and Eleanor. The commentators helped Mrs Hobson to decide this.’ Molly

‘We also played a new game called Chase the Rabbit. Eight people had to lie down in a circle. There was a chaser and a rabbit and the chaser would try to catch them. The rabbit could decide to lie down and then a new rabbit had to pop up!’ Bella

 

‘I hope you’ve got to learn a bit about what we have been doing this week. We hope you’ve enjoyed reading from P6a’s blog.’ Isla
