This week we continued with our final IDL focus of P6: music and culture. The aim of this IDL focus is to learn about how music has shaped different cultures and changed throughout history. The pupils will form a band next week then work towards creating a song that highlights something that is important to them. Some learners have already spoken about creating a song about looking after the planet or children’s rights.

The first GarageBand lesson was focused on exploring the features and using the software for the first time. We ended the day with listening to each others songs and having a dance party!

This week in P6B we learned a new maths game whilst completing our weekly problem solving challenge. Everyone enjoyed playing 59-er and some learners chose to do it during maths choice time. They have even started adapting it to add additional challenge!

This week in P6B we have been focusing on consolidating our knowledge of fractions and learning about how we learn new mathematical concepts. We spoke about the concrete, pictorial, abstract process and applied it whilst solving problems involving fractions.

This week in P6b the learners started focusing on athletics within P.E. They will track their performance over the next few weeks with the goal of creating their own fitness stations for others to try out.
