K’Nex Challenge

This week we competed in the first round of the K’Nex challenge. The class challenge involved us working in pairs to build a bridge that is 30cm long and 19cm tall. It was really fun to design and build. The winners from our class challenge will compete against the other P6 classes next week.

Maths

Algebros- We started a new maths topic this week and looked at algebra. It is not as challenging as i thought it would be and is actually quite fun.

Pi-oneers- We have been looking at numbers and have been adding with carrying and subtracting with exchanging.

Mathsketeers- We have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes, my favourite shape is a rhombus.

PE

On Thursday we started Gymnastics. We did pike rolls and used the spring board. We are looking forward to using the horse next week to jump over.

This week we have some exciting news. P5/6, P6A and P6B have worked hard and been awarded with a Fairtrade award. We have researched Fairtrade products, looked at how we can help support Fairtrade farmers and made a fantastic wall display. At the beginning of the week we played a game where we were cocoa farmers, it was really hard but lots of fun.

In maths this week we have been focusing on Number Talks, this is when we think of the strategies that we use to get to an answer. We took it in turns to share the strategies that we thought of.

We hope you all have a great weekend,

P6B.

Last Thursday P6 performed their Scottish show. During our show we sang Scottish songs, shared our knowledge about Scottish inventors and traditions. We did a great job and our parents loved it. We also performed it for the school the next day.

This week was book week and we did lots of activities in class to celebrate. We researched Michael Morpurgo and made presentations with the information we found. I made a video but some of my friends make power points and poster.  We play book charades and also designed our own book characters. We had lots of fun.

Nicole was so kind and brought in a book all the way from Hong Kong that her auntie sent. We loved learning about the book.

Ruby was also kind and brought in her own book that she has been writing since P4!!! She is hoping to win a blue peter badge with it.
