In year 6 this week…
MATHS
In math’s this week we have looked at multiplying 4-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers and focused on presentation. We also looked at common multiples and common factors, figuring out what different factors go into a product. We all tried to lay out our work nicely (1 number per square and not writing over the margins).
ENGLISH
In English this week we attempted to finish our publishing. We spent a lot of time writing our stories as we put much effort and creativity into our books. We also used vibrant colors to draw and make our front covers. We are all very excited to start our new book next week and to show our author skills next time we write our stories.
SCIENCE
In science this week we looked at the pieces of bread that we experimented a couple of weeks ago. Surprisingly, the piece of bread that was left untouched had no mold on it and the same with the piece of bread with washed hands. The piece of bread with unwashed hands and the piece of bread that was rubbed on classroom objects had little spots of mold on it.
HEAD BOY/ HEAD GIRL
This week some of us read speeches about the role of head boy and head girl. They all tried their best to perform in front of the class and some in front of the whole school! They all wrote their speeches with perseverance, creativity, effort and independence. We hope that whoever gets the role of head boy and head girl will be amazing at the role here at St Peters.
