We had a fantastic time at our sponsored bounce. Who is to blame for the Titanic disaster?
P6M worked very hard to prepare a class debate. We researched all the people who played a part in the Titanic disaster and decided who we thought was to blame. We then prepared opening speeches, discussed balanced arguments and finally organised closing speeches.
After our debates we voted and Bruce Ismay was the person we decided was to blame with Thomas Andrews second.
Cardio to Music
On Wednesday morning P5, P6 and P7 children were offered the opportunity to take part in a Cardio to Music exercise class that I ran in school from 8.30 until 9.00. The feedback was very positive and I look forward to seeing how many children will join us this Wednesday. These 2 taster sessions will determine if I shall continue this style of class after the Easter Holidays. Why not try it out?
Science in P6M
This afternoon, we carried out an experiment to determine if carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen. We worked in a team to complete two different tests. We most enjoyed mixing vinegar with bicarbonate soda watching a reaction unfold.
P6M Improvised Drama
We have been learning the meaning and use of improvised Drama in class. The children are put on the spot in the role of a character in a variety of different scenarios whilst the audience watch the story unfold.
This week, we used our topic, the Titanjc as our stimulus and we watched very harrowing situations as characters boarded lifeboats.
Reading Buddies
P2 shared their reading books with their big P6 reading buddy today. The P6 children enjoyed discussing the story, characters and pictures with their P2 buddy.
P6M ‘I’m Ghana Share a Book’
P6M and Miss McCabe would like to thank everyone for their generosity donating books to make our World Book Day fundraiser so successful. An immense 1437 books were donated and an even more whopping £490 was raised over the 2 day event.
This event showed the true meaning of world book day as we shared reading and books around the world, all the way over to Ghana.
A massive well done to the boys and girls in P6 for their hard work in putting the entire event together.
Titanic Cake
P6M were given a rather interesting treat made by Findlay yesterday. The Titanic cake was delicious! Thanks Findlay!
