Respect, Achieve, Include, Nurture
P5A worked very well in teams today when completing a RICH task – Sticky triangles!
They were shown three lolly sticks made into a triangle. The challenge – Can you continue this pattern of triangles and begin to predict how many sticks are used for each new ‘layer’?
They used lolly sticks to help find a solution and then discovered a pattern to predict how many triangles and how many sticks would be in future rows. Fabulous!🤩 Can you figure it out too?
P5 showed great skills and team work when completing their STEM challenge – To build a free standing Christmas tree using only paper and tape.
Our finished trees were all very different 🤩🎄
We had a winner for the tallest tree and also the tree that looked most like a Christmas tree.
P5A enjoyed carrying out experiments to find out which substances dissolved in water-they were surprised by some! They were learning to use the words soluble, insoluble, solute, solvent, solution and concentration correctly.
Another very successful afternoon in P5A yesterday with our last 2 ‘companies’ creating their products for the Christmas Fayre!
Our P5A enterprise groups have been working so hard planning, budgeting, advertising and producing their own products to sell on their stall at the Christmas Fayre. They showed great team work, creativity and independence when three of our ‘companies’ put together their final products last week. Other companies will complete their products this week.
They are looking fantastic – you’ll need to be quick to snap up a bargain!
Our digital leaders created and taught the P3s a lesson all about directions and coding using the Bee/Bluebots through different challenges!
GH in the Den this afternoon coded his own football game on OctoStudio!
Making Christmas animations
P5A have discussed healthy choices we can make and have worked in pairs to create informative posters. They look great 🤩
P5A have been showing excellent team work and map skills during orienteering games. This week they needed to find 9 cones using their maps. Each cone had a letter on it. They then needed to unscramble the letters and find the secret word – happiness! Great work p5 🤩
