Primary 6A and Primary B shared their Block 1 homework this afternoon.

• upcycling ideas were great
• super onomatopoeia posters were made
• number games and big number posters and power points were created
• identifying shapes in the outside world
• and more

Here is a small selection

Primary 6B were exploring different types of triangles.

Equilateral Triangles;  all three sides equal, all 3 angles equal and no parallel or perpendicular  lines.

Isosceles Triangles; two sides are equal and two angles are equal.

Right Angle Triangle;  one angle is 90 degrees and  has perpendicular lines.

Scalene Triangle;  all 3 sides and angles are different.

We have also been looking at the nets of 3D shapes.

We made cubes with 6 squares.

We made cuboids with four rectangles and two squares.

We made triangular prisms with three rectangles and two triangles.

We made square based pyramids with one square and four triangles.

We made triangular based pyramids with 4 triangles.

We made regular dodecahedrons  with 12 pentagons.

We made octahedrons with eight triangles.

Oliver R enjoyed the large numbers assessment work.   (I thought you did brilliantly Oliver – Mrs Scott)

In PE, Charlie and most of the class enjoyed uni hock because you got to hit it really hard and use both sides of the stick.

Nearly half of the class enjoyed Art this week when we started to work on flowers using magazines.  Our class upcycling.

Block 1 Homework

Holly enjoyed painting all the jars for her upcycling homework turning jars into storage pots.   Rana liked wrapping the box and paper tubes in wrapping paper creating desk tidier.  Great work girls.

Happy Birthday Roald Dahl!!

P6B have had a great day celebrating.  We read ‘Along the Corridor’  from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  Then we watched the section in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Then we discussed our favourite Roald Dahl characters and created collage characters.

Throughout the morning we made lickable wallpaper from chocolate and sprinkles.

This was probably the most fun day ever. I loved making the lickable wallpaper.  Charlie, Thomas

I really enjoyed making the Roald Dahl character. Frazer and I made Augustus Gloop.  I also enjoyed making the lickable wallpaper.   Oliver R

Frazer would like to have the lickable wallpaper on his wall at home.

Rana would like to be able to break pieces off wallpaper at home and have a little taste.  She also enjoyed licking the spoon today.

Everyone is really excited to taste their wallpaper.  It looks so good.

Happy Birthday Roald Dahl.

Bethany and Summer are creating Lucy the girl from The Magic Finger.

I have enjoyed the place value game with the dice trying to make the highest number.  Callum

I enjoyed playing hockey even although I kept falling over the stick.  Rana

Everyone said that the place value song with the words hundreds, thousands and millions really helped our number work.

Mrs Harrison has had a great first few days with Primary 6a. We have had a busy time creating bookmarks and frames for the pictures outside of our room. We have thought about what we have to do to make a happy classroom and we even had time today to do some maths! Mrs Harrison has loved her first few days and Mrs Smith looks forward to seeing you all on Monday.

I enjoyed worked out the coded number square as it was fun trying to work out the order of the pieces, Daniel.

I liked using my imagination making my picture frame, Jessica.

I enjoyed putting the dice in order to make a higher number than Frazer.

I enjoyed when we had to make the lowest number using the dice, Thomas.

I liked making the flowers and butterflies for our Garden display for the Horticultural Show at the Drill  Hall tomorrow. Tara

Which materials dissolve in water?

We carried out an experiment to see which common materials dissolve in water.  We tried sawdust, salt, sand, coffee and sugar.

We found out that salt, coffee and sugar are soluble.

We were playing a dominoes game matching statements, pictures of items and molecules.  It was quite tricky.
