Check out our word cloud below which has been added to by both P6 and P6/7. The larger the words the more popular they have been with us this week.
What has been your highlight this week and why?
This week has been very busy.
We completed bikeability 1 which was great fun. We are looking forward to them returning in a few weeks.
We have been looking at the art work of Pablo Picasso and started our own self-portrait in the style of cubism. We will post pictures of the display when we are finished.
We have been learning to round large numbers in maths.
We have continued to learn about 2D shapes. We have learned about different types of triangles and their properties.
We researched facts about Ellie Simmonds and wrote a whole class description text based on her life.
We conitnued to read our class novel and designed a new friend to help support Bradley, the main character.

Today we tested our parachutes that we made last week. The size of each parachute varied but everything else was kept the same. We wanted to know how air resistance would work on each parachute and whether size mattered.
We thought the bigger parachutes would be slower as there was more air resistance working on the surface area and we thought the tiny parachutes would go fast.
We found that the tiny parachutes were faster because there was less air resistance. However we found that the bigger parachutes didn’t open the same as the others and therefore the surface area was smaller and that made it not fall as slowly. The best parachutes were the middle range because they opened up and allowed for the air resistance to act.

This week we have been very busy…
What was your favourite thing and why?
We have been super busy this week. Below are some of the things we enjoyed.
-We completed our boat designs to add to Skipper’s river.
-We completed our individual jigsaw piece to add to the class puzzle. Look out for a picture of this soon.
-We completed graffiti art to add to back of our i-pad cases.
-We have revised 2d shapes and some of their properties.
-We learned about parrallel and perpendicular lines. We learned to spot these in real life.
-We started running club after school. This is on Thursday’s at 3:30. Those who went really enjoyed it.
-We learned about friction and air resisitance. We are going to finish experiments next week.
Comment with your thoughts about the following questions below.
-What are you most proud of this week?
-What are you looking forward to learning more about?
We are exploring the force of friction in class.
We had fun testing different materials to see which gave the most friction.
Friction is the force between two surfaces rubbing together.
Friction works in the opposite direction of the object movement.
Smooth surfaces create little friction.
Rough surfaces create lots of friction.
What a fantastic few weeks we have had. Everyone has settled into the new classroom routines and giving their all to the work in class.
Last week we spent time organising the classroom to suit our needs and we build shelves to house our books and also to provide us with a comfy seating area. We have also added a resilience station which we can access upon finishing our activities where we are given opportunities to focus on skills such as perseverance and team work.
We took part in some group work activities and had to design something to stop Humpty Dumpty (an egg) from cracking when dropped from a height. Mrs Smith was very impressed as not one egg was damaged even when we dropped them from an even higher height.
This week we have been focussing on the novel ‘There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom’ and we have thoroughly enjoyed reading chapters 1-6. We started our novel study by looking at the different front covers for the book and then making predictions about what we think will happen in the story. We have also been answering questions about the main characters and what they are like and also creating a picture based on the author’s word choice.
We have started our learning on place value and we have been competing against each other to create the biggest or smallest numbers from different digits.
We created a wonderful door display with our names in graffiti writing on top of a crumbling wall. We have had lots of compliments from others pupils and teachers about our display.
Well done P7/6- keep up the hard work.
