Year 6 students recently brought mathematics to life through an exciting and creative project titled “Building a Polygon City.” This hands-on activity was designed to deepen students’ understanding of geometric concepts while encouraging creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. This project is an integration of Math and Indonesian subjects.
Throughout the project, students explored different types of polygons such as triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons and applied their knowledge to design and construct a miniature city. Each group carefully planned their city layout, ensuring that various buildings and structures were represented using accurate geometric shapes, and also paid attention to the elements of a sustainable city.
The project began with students revisiting key concepts such as sides, vertices, angles, and symmetry. They then moved on to designing blueprints of their cities, labeling each structure according to its polygon type. Using materials like cardboard, colored paper, and recycled items, students created their designs into 3D models.
Collaboration played a key role, as students worked in teams to solve challenges, share ideas, and make decisions together. They demonstrated excellent communication skills while presenting their cities, confidently explaining the polygons used and the reasoning behind their designs.By combining mathematics with creativity and real-world application, Year 6 students not only strengthened their understanding of geometry but also developed important skills that will support their future learning.
Last Thursday, 9 April 2026, Year 6 participated in an educational field trip to Robopark. The purpose of this visit was to enhance our understanding of robotics, technology, and innovation through real-life experiences. It also aimed to connect our year level learning with practical applications in the modern world.
Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the Robopark staff and given an introduction to the facilities. The instructors explained basic concepts of robotics, including how robots are designed, programmed, and used in everyday life. Students were engaged well during this session by asking a lot of questions.
The highlight of the trip was the hands-on workshop. Students had the opportunity to build and program simple robots using guided instructions. This activity encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Many students showed enthusiasm and creativity while completing their tasks.
In addition to the workshop, we explored various exhibitions showcasing advanced robots used in industries such as manufacturing, and entertainment. These exhibits helped students understand how technology can improve people’s quality of life over time.
At the end of the visit, Robopark presented a dancing robot performance. The students were so excited they didn't even realize they were dancing. The closing session concluded with a group photo before returning to school.
On Monday and Tuesday, 20 - 21 April 2026, 24 Year 6 students successfully participated in the online government testing program focusing on literacy and numeracy skills. The assessment was conducted in a well-prepared digital environment, ensuring that students could complete their tests smoothly.
Throughout the two days, students demonstrated strong focus, discipline, and responsibility while working on their individual tasks. The literacy component assessed reading comprehension and language skills, while the numeracy section challenged students’ understanding of mathematical concepts and problem-solving abilities. Both tests delivered in Bahasa Indonesia.
Teachers provided continuous support by providing resources, ensuring all technical aspects ran efficiently and by encouraging students to remain calm and confident. The students adapted well to the online format and showed great perseverance in completing each section of the test.
