Today in Primary 6a we were continuing with our shape topic. We took part in stations, drawing circles with compasses and constructing 3D objects. We used spaghetti and play doh to construct the 3D objects which allowed us to clearly identify the edges, corners and faces of the different objects. When using a compass to draw circles, we had to carefully follow instructions about the radius of the circle to ensure our circles were accurate.

We are learning about renewable and non renewable energy. We split into two halves of the class and wrote the advantages and the other dis advantages.

Here are some examples from each side: 

Renewable disadvantage – wind turbines in wind farms are expensive to set up and there is not always enough windy weather.

Renewable advantage – once it is set up it is cheap to run. 

Non-renewable disadvantage – creates pollution and will eventually run out. 

Non-renewable advantage – they are reliable sources of energy meaning that they can provide power whenever it is needed.

We are learning about the risk and safety of different situations. Some situations were about putting private information online, other ones were about cyber bullying, and spreading fake news these scenarios helped us learn about the safety of ourself and our friends online.

We are looking forward to sharing our learning with others next week when we are going to create a resource to help people stay safe online. 

Welcome to our first post of 2025!
