We have had a great week this week in P5/6. We have had a focus on developing the young workforce this week thinking about our skills and qualities and which jobs might suit us.
Our Lead learners this week were Alexis and Abbie.
Things that went well.
We made our bridges in our Teams using icing sugar and biscuits. We were given 75g of icing sugar and 12 biscuits to create a strong bridge that will span 15cm. We still have to test the strength of them – can they hold 5 toy cars and 10 jelly babies?
We had a Teams chat with an engineer from Bear Scotland to give us tips for our cantilever project.
We used our bridges to investigate making a cantilever with a biscuit and measure how far it went out.
TTE made a cantilever of 4cm
Project27 made a cantilever of 4.1cm
3 Koala Constructors made a cantilever of 3cm
3ngineers made a cantilever of 3.8cm
The Tulips made a cantilever of 4cm
We had a Developing the young workforce jobs question time with adults who do different jobs.
Animal Quiz on My World of work – looking at skills for work- which animal are you?
Things that were tricky
- Making the bridge – making sure the icing sugar was a good consistency to hold the biscuits.
- Times tables tasks
- Logging onto Teams to complete an assignment.
