Celebrating our Learning

We really enjoy adding work to our learning showcase tiles which are displayed around the room. We like being able to select the pieces of work we are most proud of for our classmates to see. We have also displayed our poems about the forest outside of our classroom; they are amazing!

Outdoor Learning

We have been out completing different routes for Beat the Street and have really enjoyed this.  We have had lots of fun in the forest.  Last week we had a pebble finding competition,it was very exciting. For outdoor learning in the playground this week, we faced a Maths challenge. We had to create a magic square using leaves, twigs and basically anything we could find. It was a lot of fun and certainly challenged us!

Religious Education

We have started to prepare for The Pope Francis Award and look forward to celebrating a Mass of Enrolment in class tomorrow.

Classroom Fun!

We are looking forward to dressing up tomorrow and beating the street in our costumes.

Happy Halloween!

Hi everyone and welcome to our P6B blog. It is so much fun being back at school and not having to stare at a computer screen all day. It is great to see our friends again and we are enjoying the extra space in our new classroom.

We have chosen to study Australia as our topic and we have been learning about the Great Barrier Reef and famous landmarks. In Science we are learning about Oceans and Seas.

Carmen commented,  ‘It is very interesting learning all these facts.’

Sophia added, ‘It is interesting learning about the Barrier Reef and how climate change might affect it.’

In Maths, we have been learning about fractions and decimals. We also revised lots of things as we had forgotten some things over lock down. We have also been learning about time and how to use a calendar.

Ali said, ‘I have really enjoyed learning about improper and mixed fractions.’

In religious we have been learning about Saints and what made them special.

In Health lessons we have been learning about diversity and we have been practising mindfulness.

Olivia and Advithi commented on how relaxing they find mindfulness and that it is a nice way to start or end a lesson.

We are studying a novel this term which we are really enjoying. It is called ‘Adolphus Tips.’

Anna said,’ I am enjoying this book as it is about living during WW2.’

We have been enjoying outdoor learning. We completed a senses scavenger hunt in the forest which we then used to write a poem back in class. Our poems were excellent! We also built obstacle courses in the muddy movers area which was lots of fun.

Grace said, ‘I really enjoy being in the forest as it makes me feel happy and free!’

During world book day we did book review on our favourite books. we also had loads of fun with the activities Mrs Finnigan had planned for us.

On Tuesday Mrs Finnigan introduced our new topic. China! After the Easter holidays instead of learning French we will be learning Mandarin. We did a quiz to determine how much we already know. We have also begun making Chinese dragons! [written by the children of P5B]
