Max in the Middle
Last week primary 6 had max in the middle in to teach us about food and exercise. George and Karen showed us new dances and acting skills. On Tuesday called tasty Tuesday we made a salmon boat which is a bit of lettuce with salmon on top with mayonnaise. We also made fruit crumble tumble which is pineapple, pear and peaches covered in yogurt summer fruits and honey. On Friday we had our performance and all our parents loved it.

Max in the middle was fun with Karen and George. I enjoyed every day of it and so did the rest of primary 6. I liked when we had tasty Tuesday but I only liked the cheese.

P6 Recycled Rockets
I made my rocket out of drain pipe, plastic cups and bottles. It took about 2 weeks to make, the hardest bit was to stick it all together. I really enjoyed painting it and my Papa helped me finish it.

Basically, I started off with a coca cola bottle and then I used special tape that is paintable. After that, I used a toilet tube and made a slit, I pulled it tight enough to go over the top. Finally, I taped it with the tape. For the shuttle I used two toilet tubes taped together, then I used a small amount of a toilet tube and cut it to a point, taped it down and for the wings I used a pizza base and cut two wing shapes out of it. Finally I added a triangle for the tail fin and painted it!

My rocket is made out of an empty juice bottle. The wings are empty toilet roll tubes. I covered it all in white card, cut out the wings and stuck them on. We painted the top of it and the wings, then covered it in stars. I enjoyed painting it the most.

Have a look at the rest of them here.
P6’s Balloon Experiment
On the 8th of February P6 did a balloon experiment. We were learning about thrust. It required a balloon, string and tape. First we got some people to hold the string at each end. Then we attached the straw to the string then we attached the balloon to the straw with tape. It required the tape to allow it to stick.Then we let go of the balloon which it allowed it to move. It was fun.

P6 Created their Own Planet
In our class we have co-operative learning; in our learning group we were set a task, to create our own planet. So we did it took some time but in the end everyone finished. There were five planets and they were called Domo, Zeplin, Mars bar, Utopia, Duplo.The class had to choose a planet, after some decision, about 52% picked Utopia so that is the planet that we chose. For this planet we created new laws and rights and responsibilities.

Mnemonic rhyme
In P6 we were learning about the planets and we all made up a rhyme to remember the order of our planets . The planets are in the order of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Here is our rhyme to remember – Monkeys verse evil martians jumping sadly under Never land.
Hope this helps you remember.

P6 Space shuttle homework
Our teacher Mrs Buchanan has set P6 a homework task to build our own space shuttle. We all got 2 weeks to complete this task (it is not finished yet it finishes on the 10th February).The reason why we are making a space shuttle is because our topic this term is space. It is very fun and very interesting all of our class know lots of facts about space, space shuttles , space men , and loads more
Thank you
