Primary 6 Weekly Update

This week in Primary 6 we have been learning more about our topic for this term: The Human Body Systems. We were learning about the Skeletal System and the main roles it plays within the body.

We were set a challenge where we had to create a support for a tennis ball which would hold it high above a table. We discussed the different features of structures, what would work well and what would not offer enough support. This was to replicate the role that the skeleton plays in supporting the body.

Below were our two winners who were rated by their classmates as having a 10/10 rating!

P6 Classroom Learning Update

Today in class we have been learning about Hinduism. We explored the festival of Diwali to find out more about how Hindu’s celebrate, why they celebrate and create our very own Diva Lamps.

We will wait for them to dry overnight and then we will decorate them tomorrow.

Nalan was our expert today, showing us examples of real Diva Lamps alongside giving us tips on how to create our own.

Primary 1 have enjoyed their outdoor learning this week. After listening to the story, The 3 Little Pigs, we used different materials to make houses for the pigs. Once our houses were ready, we used the puppets we had made to act out the story. Everyone wanted to be the big bad wolf!
