Our topic this term has been space and the solar system. We were trying to understand the distances the planets are from the sun. We used a scale to create a human version of the solar system. We used our paper mache planets when doing so.
This week we’ve been learning about the properties of 3D shapes. If you are describing the properties of a shape you are describing how many corners (vertices), edges and faces it has. This week we learned about 2 new shapes called an octahedron and a tetrahedron. We then constructed one of them from their nets. We would like to investigate more closely different types of polyhedrons.
This is an octahedron
and this is a tetrahedron.
Primary 7 are learning about healthy lifestyles. We learned from Connie McLaughlin, founder of the company ‘Your Inner Buzz,’ some techniques to help us feel more fulfilled and less stressed. We learned that thinking positively, practising visualising and meditating can help improve our mental wellbeing.
GREAT
What an eventful week. Keep up the good work.
