The week in review - Guided Reading

For the first two weeks in Year6L we’ve started Guided Reading and we were put into our groups. Our group is the green group and we started reading ‘The Terrible Power of the House Rabbit’, it's about this really messy family that buys a house rabbit that seems to be very tidy and doesn’t like all the mess around the house. It has big disturbing eyes and would hypnotize the family and make them clean up. Although we haven’t finished the 63 pages of the book yet and we’re still in the first 17 pages there’s been lots of funny things we’ve read about like: How the rabbit makes little, neat droppings on the litter box.
This book was written by Susan Gates and was first published in 1999. Susan got the idea of the House Rabbit from one of her friends that was allergic to the straw in the cages so she got a House Rabbit and that is how the idea started!

Thanks M!

The week in review - English

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to this year's first round of "The week in review", where pupils from the class write about what they've learned this week.

The honour of being first goes to "G":

"Over the last week we have been doing a lot of poetry and personification poems. In class we each created our own and shared it with class members . I have learnt a lot about them in the past week and hope to learn more ,English so far has been interesting and exciting.

PEN !

My inside is all blue and inky.

My tongue comes in and out when monsters push my legs up and down,

I scribble all day on white snow,

I sometimes get so tired and exhausted that I stop sweating my blue ink,

My friends and family come in many different colors’ they were all taken to serve the monsters,

I have many tattoos that say faber casstel, but my cousins have tattoos that say “Bic”,

I share a big bag with other things like me and a long stick and a magic remover!

All I see each day are other monsters that hold my kind! ,

My name is Lickity Blue Pen

By G

This is a sample of some of the work I have completed in the past week for our topic of personification in poems for English.

I have just started to learn about personification so I hope this is a good example for younger people who look at this work trying to find some inspiration. I hope readers will gather from my text what I mean and what these types of poems do and explain.

Welcome to the New Year 6L 2009 - 2010!

Welcome to the NEW Year 6L class Weblog!

Please remember that this is a work in progress and you will find that the site changes fairly often ! :)

Well, Year 6 2009 2010 is now safely tucked away in our new location on the third floor two floors above the Dutch area. It's very convenient to the playground and the new Digital Media Centre as well as the new Primary Library - three of our favourite places!! the other one being the canteen :)

Pupils should remember that there is PE this week. You can see when we have PE (and the other lessons) by clicking on the "Schedule" label on this page.

The homework schedule can be found by clicking the "Homework" label on this page.

Safety reminders for pupils:

Please come prepared for the sun! I would like to see everyone wearing a hat and sunblock when on the playground.

It's also a good idea to keep your water bottle clean by washing it at home regularly.

We hope that you find this weblog both informative and entertaining, and welcome to 6L!

Regards,

Mr. L
