This week P6C celebrated maths week and this years theme was ‘wild maths’.  We had lots of maths focused experiences this week including:

• We learned about symmetry throughout our learning journey.  We created symmetrical buildings with Kapla.
• We continued learning about symmetry and created symmetrical clay models using things we found in the Woodland.  We created prints with natural resources and explored lines of symmetry.  We plan on painting them in a couple of weeks.
• We have also been learning about money.  During one of our tasks we pretended we got a new job as the head cashier at Nandos and we had to calculate the totals and change.
• We also learned about budgeting. We created a weekly meal plan then used supermarket websites to find the total of our weekly food shopping list.
• We had a live lesson with Barclays bank about safe spending and saving.
• We incorporated maths into our PE lessons and created symmetrical balances during our gymnastics lesson.

We hope you have a lovely September weekend!

Our meta skill of the week was cooperation. Although we have also developed our adaptability skills whilst we have continued to work hard in a slightly darker environment last week. It was a spooky coincidence that the lights went out on our first week of our new learning journey: how is light used creatively.

We used our cooperation skills when…

• Revising our French colours and playing twister
• Working together to order the times on our post-it notes without speaking
• Working with a partner during our hockey lesson
• Exploring light and reflections

This week in P6C we have been focusing on the meta-skill creativity.

We used our creativity when…

• Creating triorama’s to present our global goal action plans
• Planning for a debate about deforestation
• Using Numicon to help solve division calculations
• Using Knex to create an invention to help target a global goal
• Creating a model using Kapla to solve a problem in maths
