Good morning and welcome back to the P6 blog.

Today might be the scary Friday the 13th AND a full moon but that hasn’t stopped all of our amazing learning this week! 🙂

In numeracy this week we have been continuing our work on data handling paying close attention to Pictograms.

“A pictogram is a graph made up on pictures” -Zara

“We were studying pictograms about different colours and fruits”- Chantel

“We then made our own pictograms using data that was all about the number of Vegans in the world.”- Alisha

“Veganism is linked to our topic!”- Fatimah.

In literacy we were studying alliteration in our poetry class.

“Alliteration is when each word starts with the same letter”- Arisha

“We were looking at different types of jobs”- Farah

“People think only boys can be builders and girls can be beauticians. But that’s not true.”- Chantel

“We were trying to show that genders shouldn’t have specific roles and society is tricking us to believing this”- Zara

“We were also using similes which we had learned about the week before.”- Alisha

We wrote a poem as a whole class that used numbers at the beginning.

Have a look at some of our ideas:

On Wednesday we were doing a research task that was all about Social Enterprises in the local area.

“We had to look up different shops and businesses and we had to find out what they sold and who they supported and how they make money”- Fatimah

“I researched the ApparelXChange who sell school uniform that has been owned”- Amaya

“I researched Milk Café who run a café for women in the community”- Chantel

“I looked up MerrygoRound who sell second hand baby products”- Zara

“I looked up Bike for Good who sell and fix second hand bikes”- Farah

Finally, in PE we went outside to play Basketball.

“We were playing elbow tig as our warm up and learning how important it is for boys and girls to work together”- Alisha.

“We were focussing on overhead passes, chest passes and bounce passes”- Amaya

We had so much fun!

Stay tuned for next week when we are going on not one but TWO trips. We can’t wait!
