This week we have revised our learning about fractions and learned to turn a mixed number into an improper fraction as well as comparing fractions. We continued to work on our shale trail projects and planned our information report writing about shale.
We made great progress with rehearsing for our show- Pirates of the Curry Bean! Keep up the good work with learning your parts:)
We had fun learning about shale at Almond Valley museum with Amy. In maths we learned about equivalent fractions. We have added targets and information to our Didbook. We got the large equipment out in gymnastics. We learned about different planets in science. We finished our peer mediation training.
On Monday we had french and we were learning about seasons and all the months of the year and we played bingo but in french lotto.
On Tuesday it was snowing and we did basketball in P.E. We did grammar and a spelling test.
On Wednesday we learned about writing an information text. We learned about the solar system in science we were given a colour coding sheet with facts about the solar system.
On Thursday we had division with a choice of short division or chunking for solving word problems and we had a handball festival and we won most of our games. We also worked on our activities for the shale trail.
This week P6 have been doing Dogdeball with Mrs Smith and Gymnastics with Mrs Fraser for our Physical Education. In numeracy we have been studying about different types of division. We have been learning how to count in steps backwards and how to chunk. On Wednesday we started writing a poem about Danny MacCaskill and The Ridge. All poems were at an excellent standard! We also did an art project for the poem. We watched a video with Mr Keast about STEM. Hannah Fry had a range of activities on the programme on The Royal Institution. On Wednesday we made a motto for a class. All ideas were very good. after a blind vote our motto was chosen as “P6 in the Remix”.

This week in P6 we have been learning about angles, triangles and circles. On Wednesday we did power points in science about renewable and non-renewable energy. In P.E., we done Strip The Willow in Social Dance with Mrs Smith. On Thursday Mrs Fraser’s friend, Michael Kear, came to visit the classes around the school to tell us about skiing with disability snowsport. He let us wear glasses that would make our eyesight small like his. Two lucky people in our class got to where a skiing helmet that had Bluetooth connected to it so the two people that were wearing the helmets could communicate to each other from a distance. The two people that got to wear the helmet was Amaya and Georgie.

We learned more about decimals and tried some word problems involving them. In writing we learned about persuasive texts and how they are structured. Our badminton skills are improving and we have been learning about dancing in the 1940’s! As part of our WW2 project, we learned about rations and made a pie called Lord Woolton Pie-made from vegetables. Surprisingly, lots of us thought it was delicious and have taken the recipe home!
