STEM
P7H were given the challenge to design and make a balloon jet using air as a source of energy. The balloon jet had to fly along a wire from Miss Herron’s desk to the window. The pupils worked in friendship groups. After a class discussion about TSPC each group decided on their group roles and started planning. Everyone really enjoyed the task and showed great perseverance tinkering with their designs to improve how far their balloon jet would fly.
ALAN PEAT’S 2 PAIR SENTENCES
As part of our work in literacy about the novel ‘Eye of the Wolf’, we worked in groups of four to think of adjectives which could be used to describe different environments from the point of view of Blue Wolf. P7H produced some brilliant work!
INVESTIGATING WHICH NETS WILL MAKE A CUBE.
AIR EXISTS!
As part of our topic on ‘Energy’ we are going to look at air as a source of energy but first we had to prove that air exists. We turned an empty jam jar with a paper towel inside upside down and submerged it in a basin of water. The paper towel didn’t get wet because the jam jar was full of air and the water didn’t get it. We then tried the same experiment with Sam B’s tie- fortunately it worked! 😀
TERRIFIC TANGRAMS
The pupils developed their spatial awareness a problem solving skills when they used a seven piece tangram to make animals.
MENTAL MATHS
P7H revise their mental maths skills using a ‘hundred square’. They practised adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, prime numbers, square and cubed numbers and square roots.
