Here is a look at what has been happening in P5/6/7 this week.
World Cup Maths. The class have been taking part in different ‘World Cup’ themed maths challenges over the week. They had to sort the 48 qualifying countries by continent and double check using Google Maps. Then they had to use their data to create a bar chart. To quote Paige, “This is the best morning ever as we get to do geography and maths!” We’ve also looked at angles and football shots too.
Big Question – The World Cup. As part of our world cup mini topic, we have been looking at Football Stadiums. We watched a video of the different stadiums that are being used in the world cup, and then the class set to work building their own. They all created very unique designs with clear features of a stadium present in every one. We then went on a stadium tour around the room to see the different creations.
Baking fun. On Tuesday, the class made their own ‘quick’ empire biscuits with Miss Farmer. Lots of colourful designs which were very much enjoyed by everyone.
Sustainable Squad. We finished off our work on the Sustainable Development Goals with a challenge. In groups or individually, the class had to link and share information about two or more goals. They were encouraged to think creatively about what to link and how to present their learning. We had models, presentations, sporting challenges, fact books, puppet shows, posters, board games, and even a song! P5/6/7 never fail to impress with their creativity and imaginative ideas.
World Cup Murder Mystery. One thing the class asked to do before the end of term was another murder mystery game. So linking with our world cup mini topic, we took part in ‘The Clutch Calamity’. The kids all had lots of fun but on this occasion no one managed to guess that Paige had stolen the World Cup Trophy.
P5/6 Trip to Burra. We had a fantastic day out to Burra this week and were really blessed with gorgeously hot and sunny weather. The class enjoyed climbing up and over rocks, skimming stones, walking to the Hamnavoe Lighthouse, looking for crabs, toasting marshmallows, and wave watching. We then all enjoyed a picnic lunch at the Toogs playpark.
