Today in class we were measuring using tenths of a metre. We recorded our answers as fractions and also decimal fractions. Our measuring skills linked nicely to our work last week when we were learning all about decimal fractions.
On Friday morning we used our problem solving skills to create patterns with one and two lines of symmetry using cuisenaire rods.
For part of our outdoor learning this week both P6 classes worked together. The children created groups of four and were then paired with another group of four. They had to select 1 group leader who would be in charge of collecting the resources. Each group was set the task of building a den using the resources provided. The den had to accommodate everyone in the group and they only had twenty minutes to complete the challenge. The classes worked collaboratively in their groups with some fantastic results. They were very proud of their achievements and enjoyed being outside with each other in the sunshine!

Problem Solving
For our outdoor learning this week we were set the task of building mini dens for a little character that we had. We worked in pairs and used the resources available to us in our school orchard. It was great fun being creative and using our problem solving skills.
This week we have been focussing on multiplying whole numbers and on Friday we were learning all about products of numbers. We used cuisennaire rods to help us understand the concept and to work out the pairs of numbers.
