This week was STEM week and we\u2019ve been very busy working hard on lots of activities.<\/p>\n

We started with a class pipe cleaner challenge.\u00a0 Working in small groups we were given instructions to build the tallest free-standing structure.\u00a0 We were working against the clock and things got really tricky when we were only allowed to use one hand for 2 minutes, and then had to work in silence for 2 minutes! But we all managed and worked very well as part of a team! Mia So, Nicola and Shiv managed to build the tallest structure.\u00a0 We discussed their techniques, including a wide and stable based that was even strengthened by twisting pipe cleaners together.<\/p>\n

We were also focusing on the Great Barrier Reef this week.\u00a0 We went on an interactive journey with David Attenborough.\u00a0 We were able to watch videos of the Great Barrier Reef online, allowing us to see all the life under the sea.\u00a0 It was also very interesting to see what the future holds for the Great Barrier Reef and as a class we discussed coral bleaching and the causes of water pollution and sea temperature increase.\u00a0 We then used the videos for inspiration to create our very own Barrier Reef boxes.\u00a0 For this activity we worked in pairs and used various craft supplies to create the Great Barrier Reef in a shoebox.\u00a0 The final results are great! Take a look at some of our boxes!<\/p>\n

This term our PE focus will be fitness.\u00a0 Mr McCurdy introduced us to some Crossfit exercises.\u00a0 They were quite difficult but everyone was working hard.\u00a0 We had a few sore muscles the next day but this means we were working very hard! Miss McCormack led a fitness class during PE on Thursday, with everyone really focusing on getting the most out of each exercise.<\/p>\n

Our class mass this week went very well.\u00a0 Well done to all P6 pupils for representing our school in the community, everyone was very impressed!<\/p>\n

Primary 6 have also started a new class reward system – ask your child all about it, we are all very excited!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
