As promised, here is the image that we were looking at this morning. I can’t wait to read all of your ideas…

French tellagamis
In French, Madame Sharkey has been teaching Owls how to make ‘tellagamis’ using iPads. She would like you to have a listen and then comment if you would like to – 2 stars and a wish!
Times Table Rock Stars Stats
I’ve just been looking at the overall leaderboard on Times Table Rock Stars, and it would seem that I have the fastest ‘studio speed’ of anyone in Year 6. I’m looking forward to a little healthy competition with you…
NSPCC Fundraiser
This afternoon, Owls had lots of fun participating in the mini-Olympics course that they had designed for our NSPCC fundraiser. Mrs. Watson also made the most of the opportunity to sneak a little bit of Wham into the school day! Well, there was a disco station… 😉
P4C
Following on from the discussions we have been having about rising sea levels in class, here is the stimulus for our next P4C debate which one of you will facilitate.
Remember, the objective of Philosophy for Children is deep thinking, so you will need to make sure your question is an open one.
We will have a class vote to decide which question we want to discuss.
Countdown
Try your hand at solving one of our Countdown style number problems. You can only use each number once, but can use any of the four operations. Raffle ticket to the first 2 people to get within 1 of 453.
The lonely road
Using the image above, write a story about the old lady on the lonely road. Where has she come from? Where is she heading? What problems could she have encountered along the way? Remember, try to impress me by selecting your choice of vocabulary and literary devices with care.
The Boy at the Back of the Class
The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjall Q. Rauf is our class reader this term. What are your thoughts on this book? What do you like about it and why? Please articulate your ideas in the comments, making sure you are specific.
And we’re off…
Hello and welcome to our blog! We are planning to use it to share the learning we are doing in our classroom, as well as keeping you updated about what we get up to within our wider school community. We can’t wait!
