You can follow everything that P6M are doing by following @wqps_mrsbruce. I was so impressed with all of your glider designs today. It’s lovely seeing your photos and videos P6M. I am missing you all but am so very proud of how hard all of you are working. Keep it up 🙌🏻😊

This morning, we learned more about the origins of Halloween, took part in a quiz and created a spooky scene using contrasting colours with Mrs Logie 😊🧙🏻‍♀️

We had a great first day back at school yesterday. Everyone was raring to go after the holiday! We worked on developing our ICT skills using Key Note to design an app to help people with everyday problems. We are excited to share these with each other later this week 😊

Today as part of our comparative study on Japan, we worked with a partner to create a PowerPoint presentation on the land use in each country. We are very excited to share these with each other on Friday 😊💻

Wow! What a busy week it has been! I’ve been so impressed with the enthusiasm and effort everyone has shown. I think we definitely have a few budding scientist in our class. Well done everyone, have a great weekend 😁👏🎉

Finally- we learned more about how we see. We carried out an experiment using 3 different lights- red, blue and green. We were amazed by the different colours we could make with them. We also learned more about optical illusions and why we see things that aren’t always there 👀

We then tried to establish if our sense of smell affects our ability to taste. The results were mixed- some people could tell what the mystery objects were and others couldn’t 🍎🥔😆

Yesterday, we learned more about our nervous system and how signals are sent around the body from our brain. We carried out some different tests to challenge our reaction times.

@CamayoHyde Aww bless! We missed you too E! Well done for putting in the hard work even when you were off 👏❤️

Here they are in action 😁

Everyone was very excited to create their Burger Box Buddies today. P6M used what they had learned about pneumatics to create a model with moving parts. Aren’t they great?! Well done everyone 🎉👏😁

[Miss McIndoe @missmcindoe]

We then created a simple hydraulic system using the same equipment and water. We experimented with different ways of filling the system with water whilst avoiding air bubbles. Tomorrow we will use what we have learned to build a model with moving parts 😊

[Miss McIndoe @missmcindoe]

Today we learned about hydraulics and pneumatics. We created a simple pneumatic system using just air, 2 syringes and a tube. We spoke about how this worked and how it could be used in everyday life 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

P6M are thoroughly enjoying Science week so far. We have been learning about how different living things are classified and about the differences between the different types of vertebrates and invertebrates 🦅🐛🐺🐌🐍🦀🐊

[Miss McIndoe @missmcindoe]

We enjoyed listening to some calming music from Japan today during our Writing lesson. P6M used their plans to write an information report on a subject of their choice. I was blown away by the concentration and hard work everyone put in 😁👏

[Miss McIndoe @missmcindoe]

Today P6M worked hard on using a Spidergram to help them plan an information report. Each person choose a subject that they were an expert in. Next week we will use ours plans to write our reports and will share them with each other 😊

Our class charter. We all decided on a sports theme as a way to show our agreement to respect each other’s rights 😊⚽️🏀🏊🏼‍♀️🏇🏻🤸🏽‍♂️
