Handball

P7 have been doing handball in PE.  This is a new game to us, but we have used a lot of previous learnt skills and understandings to play in these games.  Some of the differences have been the size of the ball, using a one handed pass and the rule around movement and dribbling means the game is fast paced.

Technology – Wind Measure

 

We are getting quite confident at coding Microbits in class.  This week we took on a new challenge.  Our task was to build a working wind gauge and to code two Microbits that could communicate information via radio.  We discussed Metaskills at the start of the lesson and  continued to focus on collaboration.  We were working on listening to other peoples ideas and on being sensitive to their feelings.  It was very important that we measured accurately, which took a lot of collaboration.

 

We had to be really creative, especially when things didn’t always work out as we had first planned.  We had to design and build a structure that could measure tilt and find a way to securely and safely attach the Microbit to our structure.  Once the Microbit was in place we went outside to measure the strength of the wind.  The information was sent back to our second Microbit.  We got some good results!

Music Technology – Incredibox

We have been exploring different kinds of music technology recently and this week we have been using a piece of software called Incredibox. The online software enabled us to create our own music with a crew of beatboxers. We could choose from four different styles and had the chance to lay down, record and share our mixes.

We had criteria to follow when creating our mixes. Our compositions had to:

  • be at least 26 seconds long
  • have a loop change
  • showcase a muted/solo beatboxer

Here are links to some of our compositions:

Water Filtration

We have been learning about the importance of having a clean water supply and this afternoon investigated some innovative ways water can be filtered to eliminate contaminants, viruses and bacteria.  We decided to experiment with different materials to see which ones could filter water best.  We tried different sizes of sand, stones, charcoal and paper.  We even pooled all of our resources to build a super filter!  We discussed some of the Metaskills we would be using this afternoon and decided to focus on feelings.  We were careful to recognise and respect other people’s feelings and emotions.  We showed kindness and empathy and noticed how our actions impacted others in our group.
