P6A Lest We Forget

Today we listened to The Poppy Story and learned about Remembrance Day.   We heard the poem In Flanders Fields by John McCrae and thought it was very sad.

We made poppies to take home and put in our windows for tomorrow, 11th November, to remember and think about servicemen and women who have served their country in any war, not just the First World War.

 

We also created some effective silhouette remembrance art work to display in our classroom.   Here is a small selection.

We will be thinking and remembering about veterans tomorrow at 11.00 am.

 

Review of the Week

This week we enjoyed working together to create part of the Kingsland Virtual Firework Display. The finished display looks great.  Well done everyone.

We are looking forward to creating our page for the Kingsland calendar next week. If you are out and about this weekend P6b take some pictures of the bridges we have been talking about to help us create our page.

P6A Review of the Week 6/11/20

 

Mrs Ryalls has created this beautiful display for our Haunted Houses.  Thank you.

We were working on nets of 3D shapes and built dodecahedrons, triangular and square based pyramids, triangular prisms, cubes, cuboids and pentagonal prisms.  Sam created a rhombus prism.

In Science we learned the proper names for the bones of the Skeleton, a few examples are:phalanges for fingers and toes, pelvis, cranium for skull, carpals and metacarpals for the wrist and hand and tibia one of the lower leg bones.

We were given the month of August for the School Calendar and we have started making a collage of the school building for Back To School.  We are looking forward to seeing the finished product.

In numeracy we have been learning different strategies to help with multiplication:  16 x 35 – we would half 16 and double 35 to help us make the calculation 8 x 70;  to multiply by 25 we multiply by 100 then half the answer and it again.
