Week in Review for 20/05/10

Over the past week in English, we have finished writing our final drafts and typing them up, we are now up to choosing design templates for our newspapers with Mr. Lowes' assistance.
Also we have been writing scripts for our yr6 assembly plays with a strict deadline! each group gets at maximum a 5 minute play performing a year stage like an important event in nursery or reception, yr 1, yr2, yr3...., there is also a play for everyone.

Maths: During maths we have been brushing up on prime numbers and we are also doing Christian Goldbachs' (he lived between the 1690s' and the 1760s') theory (conjecture), he was a maths professor at the Russian Imperial Academy. His theory is that "Every integer can be written as the sum two primes, can also be written as the sum of as many primes as one wishes, until all terms are units."
He also wrote a second theory "every integer greater than two can be written as the sum of 3 primes."

Inquiry: In Inquiry we have been writing narrative stories about a leader of our choosing living during the times of World War Two for example: Hitler and the Blitzkreig. Now that everyone is finished we are adding things to our portfolio for our student led conferences at the end of the year.

I.C.T: In I.C.T we have been writing reflections about all the websites and software we have used over the year there are many websites Mr. Lowe has introduced us to. The website we are most familier with is Edu20, were Mr. Lowe sends us our homework and messages about what we will be doing each day.

Thanks G!

Week in Review (EDU20 & Vyew.com) 04 10 09

Edu20 and Vyew

We had a two week break away from school in September due to the H1N1. We have still been able to communicate with each other through Edu20 and Vyew.

On Edu20, we use chat to ask any questions on our homework we can also ask anything that we don't understand. We are able to know who is there because their name and icon appears on the screen.

Edu20 includes blogs, homework, messages, calander, classes, overview and forums.

To get to Edu20, you should click on edu20.org then type your user id and password, you will then find the homepage and you are there.

Vyew is slightly different, on vyew we are able to have our lessons. Mr Lowe invites all the class to attend. He is able to explain by using the microphone and we can hear him through our speakers. All students are able to contribute in the lesson by either typing when asked to or listening to the lesson or by drawing or writing.

To get to vyew, you have to go to your email on yahoo, msn, google or hotmail then you type your email address and password. You will find a message from Mr. Lowe inviting you to the Maths or English lesson, open it then you will find the site click on it, HORRAY you are there.

Edu20 and Vyew have made it easier for us to communicate and have access at anytime to be able to ask our teacher anything we are stucked with.

Thanks to Mr. Lowe, we have learnt a new way of studing.

Thanks A!
