Welcome to our Class Blog. Our teacher is Miss Itcovitz :)
This week we spent time teaching each other different skills in maths and numeracy. We each became “experts” in different areas of maths or numeracy and planned our own activities and lessons for others in our class to learn from. We had lessons on time, measure, perimeter, area, algebra, fractions, decimal numbers and much more!
For Science week, primary 6 did a lot of things! We enjoyed making posters for other classes to see about one of our previous science topics, e.g. food chains and webs, space -which most people thoroughly enjoyed-, electricity, where a lot of people had creative ideas and suggestions!
We also went to see primary 7’s exhibition in each of their classes! They had different things that people like, for example, slime, volcano eruptions and ooblec! No surprise, everyone got their hand dug in and got very involved! No sign of a dull moment!
P6 made boats and tested them in groups out of ONLY paper and cardboard! We had to put weights in the boats and see how much they could hold in the water. We thoroughly enjoyed it too! They mostly held a whopping total of 700 grams!
‘It was great fun! My boat was so big, we had to use a completely different bucket!’ – Inarah
‘My boat was medium size and it nearly SANK!’ – Zenya
We all had a great time!

We have been finding out about one of the seven wonders of the world – The Great Wall of China.
To do this we carried out research online and made notes of our findings under headings. We then selected the most important facts to display on a poster.
Here are some of our finished posters full of interesting facts and displayed creatively.
On Monday, P6b kicked off science week with a technology challenge. Everyone worked hard in their teams to design and build a boat using only cardboard, sellotape and tinfoil! The boats were then put to the test in the water and were weighted down to see if they would float or sink. We had great fun making our boats and then testing them!
So far in our topic on China we have learned:
“I really enjoyed our topic on China and have learned so much about Chinese culture. :)”

Hello and welcome to our class blog!
In this blog we will frequently be posting pictures and information about what we are learning and doing in class e.g what we are doing on our topic or if we have a special activity. Hope you enjoy!
