P6 have continued their learning about Roman Numerals this week. They can now interpret and write in Roman Numerals, understanding the 7 basic letters used. The class created their own Roman Numeral clocks before working in small groups to create a Roman Numeral clock from natural materials in the playground. They had great fun locating sticks and using their problem solving skills to create each number correctly on the clock.

The children loved being part of the Ness Book read in this morning. We listened to a chapter from our class novel Fantastic Mr Fox where we focused on clarifying some of the vocabulary and text that was unfamiliar to us.  Then we had some time for personal reading for enjoyment.

The children used their problem solving skills to turn their 100 squares into jigsaw puzzles today, this demonstrated their understanding of ordering and sequencing to 100.

The children were able to revise their shape and symmetry knowledge by completing these beautiful Rangoli patterns.  One amazing pupil even made their own pattern with perfect symmetry, great work!

We have been investigating different equipment to measure aspects of the weather, a weather vane, a thermometer and a rainfall gauge.  Now we must wait for nature so we can see how they work!
