  • Instructional Writing

    Published 12/12/24

    P6CM have just completed their writing unit looking at procedural writing. They have looked at many examples of instructions and have written instructions on how to make play-dough models of the Earth, how to program the Dash and Dot robots and even produced coding instructions for the Microbits. Their final piece of work was most definitely their best, as the children wrote instructions on 'How to Steal Christmas' based on the book by Dr Seuss. The enthusiasm and creativity shown for this work was amazing and their finished pieces of work were outstanding. Well done P6, I'm so proud of you.

  • Natural Disasters

    Published 14/11/24

    As part of our new topic on Natural Disasters, P6CM have been learning about the structure of the world. The best way to learn about this was to create a model of it. Great fun was had as the children followed a set of instructions to recreate the world using playdough.  They were able to name each layer and describe it. As well as this, the children developed their understanding of tectonic plates by working collaboratively to complete a world map which had been divided up along the plate boundaries.. 

    The children used their knowledge to type up their own set of instructions for others to follow, as part of our writing focus on Procedural Writing.

    Amazing work as always P6. Well done.

  • Maths Week '24

    Published 18/10/24

    A great week this week showing the practical and fun aspects of maths. The class had great fun planning and creating maths games for P3. They had to make their games fun and engaging whilst being suitable for the younger children. It was great to see  their ideas change and develop as they worked in teams to construct their game. The games proved to be a huge success with P3 and it was lovely watching the interaction between the two year groups.

    P6 also had the opportunity to interact with students from Lecale Trinity in a very enjoyable and practical maths session.

  • Viking Longships

    Published 21/09/24

    Making the most of the good weather, P6CM took the learning outside to estimate and measure just how long the Viking Longships were. After estimating the length, they used trundle wheels and metre sticks to accurately measure out the longship. Obviously, the best bit was sitting in and rowing their ships.

  • Learning about angles

    Published 19/04/24

    P6CM have been investigating angles. They named the different types of angles and went on an angle search around the school taking photos. The photos were collated into Pic Collages. They went on to participate in a carousel of activities which involved labelling, sorting and measuring with a protractor.
