Celebration of Learning (Inquiry - I Believe)

Hi Everyone,

We have just finished our first Celebration of Learning in 6L for this academic year and it has been very successful!

The children are to be congratulated for their creation of a fantastic array of products indicating what they have learned and why our topic of "I Believe" was so important to them and its relevence to the world.

Congratulations to all the children for the effort they have put in and I look forward to seeing what they will produce at the conclusion of our next unit called "The Global Markeplace".

Thanks,
Mr.L

Website of the week - National Georgraphic Kids

Sesame Street fans will remember this - "This week's WotW is brought to you by the letter "G" and the number "10"." The National Geographic website for kids is full of fun, games and interesting relevent environmental information. In polls among the class, this one rated a very high 8 out 10! The children enjoyed the way it was easy to navigate, provided easy to understand text and the pictures were interesting. Over the year, it is very likely the children will have ample opportunity to make use of this resource for their various Inquiry topics.

Week in Review (Free Choice) 22 10 09

M had the opportunity to write about any topic he found most interesting recently:

In school one thing I liked was P.E. We swam in the swimming pool. Some activities we have done were we dived in the deep pool so we can get a block. It was fun, also we played a game.

Thanks M!

Website of the week - Blast from the past!

This week's website of the week is a blast from the past but still relevent:
"Hi Everyone!

Well, it’s the start of another busy week!
Among my various tasks I’ve been trawling the Internet for some fun, useful websites for this week’s website of the week. There’s just one problem… there were too many to choose from!!
So, not being one to “split hairs” I’ve decided to put a few websites up this week for you to enjoy:

1. (http://www.netsmartz.org/) This is a website which educates children (and parents) about responible use of the internet.
2. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/meandmymovie/) This is a website run by the BBC which shows children how to make really interesting videos.
3. (http://www.poetry4kids.com/) In keeping with our English theme of Poetry, this is a good site for funny poems for children.
4. (http://www.harcourtschool.com/glossary/grammar/index_pt.html) Finally this site helps children practice their grammar rules. Select a Grade and begin.

I hope you enjoy the sites I’ve listed and, if you find any which you think our class might enjoy, let me know!
Until next time! Take Care,
Mr.L"

This will be a continuing feature of the website, so please either subscribe to the RSS feed if you know how, or simply drop by every week or so for some new websites which we hope you'll find helpful and fun.

Week in Review (Mathematics) 22 10 09

After we got back from the two weeks off school we had to revise the math work we did on the computer.

First we revised x24, x100, x10 and x25. After we revised all that work we started to work on some shapes like:

Parallelograms

Quadrilaterals

Regular Polygons

We worked on their angles and lines of symmetry, after a while of practice we worked on their perimeter and then we did some work with the triangle rulers and some of the shape midpoints.

I think that is about it, we’ve learned all that through October!

Thanks M!

Week in Review (English) 22 10 09

In English we have been working on issue poems. Issue poems are poems that talk about an issue that you particularity care about. For example, if you are concerned about whaling then you would write a poem about how it makes you feel, what it causes, and why you shouldn’t do it. Before you write your poem, you draw a min map. In the middle you would have your issue and connected to it would be words and pictures that you could use in your poem. Also, every 2 lines have to rhyme with each other. I did mine on global warming. If we don’t take care of the Earth, then in the future it could end up destroyed. The kind of words I had connecting to it are words like horrible, terrible, and dreadful.

Thanks K!
