Olivia has made a funny video of her and Leo (her cat) having a conversation.
Have a look at the video and feel free to leave a comment. If you do anything creative like this at home (videos, art, photos etc) please send them in. It is great to see what everyone gets up to in their spare time.
In science today we made our own electrical circuits using wire, a battery and a globe. We then experimented with little motors and tried to make our own fans. It was a lot of fun.
We will be using these skills in T & E where we will be constructing our own room with a light and a fan. To do this you will need to bring in a shoebox from home as soon as possible.
All students should now have an account with Mathletics. We will be using this throughout the year, both in class and as homework. Students should be logging in every few days. I will put up tasks that reflect the work we have done in class. Students should also be regularly practicing their mental maths on the site.
I am also able to set harder and easier tasks, depending on a student’s level. Students will write in their diary when a task needs to be completed.
The first task, due on Monday is about recognising place value to the millions. This has been a recent focus in class and is important to understand before moving onto other areas of Year 6 maths.
Good luck!
I have had a few people ask me about getting a copy of the class timetable for this term. This is especially important for students who miss out of time in the classroom due to being an instrumental student, leaders and kitchen / garden helpers.
Please note that we do need to change the timetable around to suit the areas we are covering, so it may not always be accurate.

Today we started EduDance. It was really hot, but a lot of fun.
We expect all Year 6 students to participate, and so if you have not brought in your form and payment, please do so as soon as possible.
Today we started learning about electricity. We discussed where we get electricity, what we use electricity for and any words we could think of associated with electricity.
You can also comment on the hard work of the students in the photos below.
This is a reminder that Edu-Dance begins next week. At this stage we will be dancing every Thursday from 2:15-2:45pm. If you are yet to pay for this, please do so as soon as possible. We would like to get every student in LA 26 involved.
