P6/5 had a great time at their Christmas party!

There was lots of games and dancing going on.

We then ended the week with a movie and hot chocolate!

Merry Christmas from P6/5!

P6/5 had a great time at the Santa Fun Run obstacle course on Monday, thank you for all of your sponsors!

P6/5 have been working on biking skills with Shani from Sustrans. We practised left and right turns, and emergency braking. We had to use our strength, balance and co-ordination. We also used our communication and collaboration skills to make sure we did not bump into each other.

P6/5 have been using their knowledge of 3D objects to create some Christmas themed pictures on paint 3D. Can you spot which 3D shapes we have used?

We also made cubes and cuboids from their 2D nets in which we had to cut and fold it together to make it into its 3D form.

P6/5 collaborated in small groups to problem solve and find as many different ways as they could to spell the word ‘kayak’ without using the same letters twice within the squares. The tricky part was they were not allowed to write up their own ideas to ensure everyone got a chance to collaborate. This lesson helped us to develop our communication and critical thinking skills. We had a look at other groups work to see how others tackled the problem and to identify different ways in which we could have showed our thinking. Lastly, we had a class discussion of what good communication and bad communication looked like during this task and how we could improve this next time.
