AUTUMN TERM
The Toothpaste Challenge
Today we were set a challenge to empty a tube of toothpaste, in teams, having 5 seconds each. We thought - this is a bit easy!
Next, we were given 5 seconds each again to put it all back in the tube using a toothpick. This was the difficult part.
The moral of the task was that it’s easy to blurt words out but it’s not so easy to take them back.
We discussed times when this might happen and how we can have strategies to avoid doing this.
Mood boards
To start our Year 6 journey off to a good start we worked as a team to design a mood board that would have all the words on that we aspire to be during year six. We have proudly displayed these in our classroom so that we can always be reminded of our aims for success.
Gardening
Today we were tasked with moving 1 tonne of soil into our school planter boxes. We made a plan and got to work shovelling into bags and lifting them into place with a partner.
We worked extremely well with our partners and as a whole class team and finished the job in just 40 minutes!
Mrs Moreton paid us a wage in biscuits. Yum!
