To finish off we got into pairs and we tried to see how many passes you get in a row. – E

P.E. at Eastwood

• Yesterday at Eastwood, I played rugby. We were practicing our passing with a passing drill. You can’t pass forward in rugby so we practiced this. – Z
• During P.E. I played hockey. As a warm up we were put into partners and we had to practice passing back and forward. When we got to 10 we had to take 2 steps back to make it harder. The main activity was a mini hockey match. – E

Maths

• I was learning about volume this week. I measured the volume of cuboid using a special formula. – R
• On Thursday with Miss Ralston we completed a maths challenge. We had to make paper airplanes then measure how far they could fly. We changed our models to investigate whether that effected the distance. – H

This week in P6b we have…

We created graphs to display how many steps the teachers did in their step challenge for Maths Week.  Mrs Findlay came in first place with over 30,000 steps.

We acted out a scene when someone got blamed unfairly – the problem had to be solved by showing what to do when someone blames you unfairly.

We went to Eastwood to do PE, we were coached by the pupils in S6.

We created optical illusion art – we had to draw a square and put a 1cm line on each side, connected them, and we had to do this until it filled the whole square.  This was called the Curves of Pursuit.

For Maths Week Scotland we solved some problems which required lots of thinking – it was really hard!  We enjoyed doing the activities together.

We made front covers for our own stories inspired by The Jungle Book and we have started typing these up on the computers.

We did a Thinking Reader lesson where we wrote a summary about what we have read in The Jungle Book so far.

We hope you have  a lovely weekend.

P6b!
