Maths
Over the last couple of weeks the Year 6 students have been learning about 3D shapes, nets of 3D shapes and properties of 3D shapes (faces, vertices, edges).
They have taken this knowledge and began to design Robots for a toy competition. This requires them to do a 2D design of their robot, before drawing the nets and creating these into 3D shapes to construct their robots.
We asked a couple of grade 6 students to explain how they came up with their designs and this is what they said:
“My design came from wanting it to be different and fun, whilst including all different shapes. I also wanted to get into the festive spirit so added a Santa hat”
“I wanted to create a BIG design! I wanted to trial using as many different shapes as I possibly could”
Below are some photos of their 2D designs, and we can not wait to see their 3D Robots completed next week!

Sport
On Tuesday 5th December, some of our boys represented LPS at the Hooptime State Basketball competition. Although not all of the games went our way, the boys did LPS very proud, put everything they had into each game, and played extremely well. It was a great day and the team is now in the top 20 out of 400 across our state, what an achievement!
