P5

Today we were investigating pentagonal pyramids.

 

Here are their properties:

Liam – They have six faces.

Marty – There are 5 triangular faces.

Jocelyn – They have 10 edges.

Lewis – It is called a pentagonal pyramid because there is a pentagon at the base.

Keavie – This is an irregular shape because not all the faces are the same shape.

Christopher- It has 6 corners or vertices.

 

We also used polydron to make different 3D shapes.

Here is the homework for December.

 

P5 December Homework

Our first swimming lesson took place today.  Here are some of our thoughts…

Matthew – It was quite hard to get changed quickly.  After the swimming lots of our stuff was wet.  Next time I might bring a bigger bag and get it all in there instead of just dumping it in the locker.

Lewis – We started swimming in the shallower end and then lots of us went into the deeper end.

Ava – The lockers were quite small and some people struggled to get their bags to fit.

Jocelyn – After swimming we went to PE and did basketball.

Carmen – In PE we did basketball and we had to dribble round each other.

James – The first six weeks of PE will be basketball then the next six will be volleyball.

Angus M – After the end of the swimming lesson we were allowed to play for 2 minutes in the water.

Evan – We had to do a test to see how well we could swim.  We had to go from one side of the pool to the other.  You could walk, run or swim.

Today we were looking at cuboids and their nets.  We got a net each and cut it out.  On each face we wrote some facts about cuboids before we cut them and stuck them.

 

Here are some of our facts…

Ava – A cuboid has 6 faces.

Kali – A cuboid must have some rectangular faces.

Brodie – A cuboid is an irregular 3D shape.

Matthew – It is irregular because the faces are not all the same shape.

Keavie – A cuboid has 8 vertices.  (A vertice is like the corner on the shape)

Christopher – A cuboid can have 4 rectangular faces and 2 square faces.

Maggie – A cuboid has 12 straight edges.

Carmen – A cuboid can have 6 rectangular faces.

Angus – All the edges on a cuboid are parallel.

 

Next time we will be looking at nets of other shapes.

Thank you!

Today we made a new point system because we had to get 10 points but people where only getting 8 and 9 so we decided to change it. Before the new way if we didn’t get ten then we had to go back to 1.   The new way is you can take as long as you want to get 10 and if you get to 10 you get to choose a pass.

 

Some of the passes we chose were:

ICT monitor

drawing time

computer time

reading time

cushion time

choose a partner for a session

extra literacy

extra maths

construction time pick a class job

art time

iPad time

reading time

line leader

treat bin pass

board game time

this after noon we made some acrosstic poems, here are some of our words we used.

Max- My word was Candy.

James- My word was skeleton.

Abbi – My word was Hallowe’en.

Today we did a pre-topic assessment on what we already know about the body.

Here are some things we already know…

Keavie – Your eyes can be sensitive.  The eyebrows and eyelashes protect the eyes.

Matthew – Our skeleton is all of our bones put together.  Without our skeleton we wouldn’t be able to move.

Angus M – Bones make up our skeleton.

Max – Messages from your brain go to parts of your body thirty times faster than a bullet train.

Kali – Our hair grows on our scalp.

Jake – Our ankle is attached to our leg.

Jordan – Our spine is made up of lots of different bones.

Angus R – Our brain is an organ.

Bethany – Your wrist is connected to your hand.

Lorna- There are 27 bones in your hand.

Carmen – Your ankle is joined to your foot.

 

We then went on to talk about what we want to find out.  Here are some of our ideas…

Keavie – How do your teeth grow?

Matthew – How does your skeleton move?

Jocelyn – How does your hair grow from your scalp?

James – What are different diseases you can get? How does your body fight them?

Liam – How does your heart actually work?

Maggie – Why do some people have freckles?

Rachel – Why do we need to sleep?

Abbi – How do nails grow?

 

That is a lot of thigs we want to find out. Check back soon to see how we get on.
