Marvellous Maths

“In Problem Solving today we were trying to make a 1-step, 2-step and 3-step pyramid. We used these to work out how many bricks are needed to make a 10-stpe pyramid.”

“I enjoyed the Problem Solving because I liked using the Kapla.”

“We used Numicon to help us with our division in Numeracy. It helped us to see the numbers in front of us instead of just in our heads.”

“I liked using the Numicon because I haven’t used it in a while and it helped me with my division.”

Anywhere Islands

We have been doing a mini project creating our own islands.

We had to imagine we found an undiscovered and uninhabited island. We designed what our island might look like.

We used the Chrome Books and using maps, decided where our island would be located. We described our island using correct terminology like southern/northern hemisphere, equator, which sea and continent is it a part of.

Welcome to P6B!

“We completed a challenge in teams where we had to make the longest paper chain using only 1 sheet of paper.”

“This week we had our first PE sessions, we got put into teams to create our own warm ups and fitness relays.”

“We drew self portraits, one half was ourselves with shading, then the other half was things you really like.”

“We started to create a Class Charter for the walls. We chose a beach theme. We drew crabs, shells, jellyfish and starfish. A Class Charter is to help us understand our rights.”
