Weekly Review 2/10/20 P6/5

This week we finished our alternative front covers for Max and the Millions. We had great fun completing this task and the 2 winning designs voted for by the class are above. Well done Coco and Rudi.

We have also enjoyed:
-writing a description about a fantasy setting. We learned about similes and how to use them to up-level our descriptions.
-learning origami and making cubes. It was a challenging lesson and some of us were stuck in the learning pit for a while. We all make it out though. This was part of an online, live lesson.

If you would like to watch the lesson again, here is the link:

You can only watch until Thursday.

-making skeletons of 3D shapes using straws and Plasticine
-P.E. where we watched a video clip of an athlete to help us with our jumping and relay skills.
-Handwriting
-learning about the sense of touch. We explored the playground on a touch scavenger hunt.
-Art. We have been learning to draw bugs. We hope to have a display up with these next week. Look out for photos.

Maths Week – P5/6

Today we took part in a live maths lesson with many other schools across the country as part of maths week.

We were challenged to think about our knowledge of 3D shapes. We had to use origami to create a cube.

We learned how important the “learning pit” was. Most of us failed the first time and we had to try again. We needed to use a number of strategies to support as. We had to keep a positive mindset throughout in order to be successful.
