Goodbye William Shakespeare class!

Here's the last thing I did as your teacher: take a lovely photograph of a lovely bunch of children.  It's been great being your teacher this year and this photograph will be a wonderful way of remembering you!

Have a great summer and good luck for year 6!

Remember: take care, be good, read a book!

Fishponds Shack.By Paige

Splintered glass lay amidst a stack of branches.The roof is smothered with dead ivy.Paint begins to blister.Once where there were bricks there is only rubble.The main thing standing is a set of swing doors,on which the padlock is rusted.A yellow triangle is the sign of danger,stuck on the flaked paint.Loose tiles prepare to drop.Directly infront is an overgrown bush which is used as a dump,stinging nettles hide treacherously in the long waving grass.On the doors rotten,mouldy wood looks as though it is going to crumble and rot away.

Diagram of the chest

This is the diagram of the chest we looked at on Wednesday.  How many of the numbered parts can you name?  Why not use this picture to explain to your parents or a brother or sister the journey air takes from being all around us into your lungs!

Photos from Tuesday

Here are some photos from our road safety walk on Tuesday.  Have a look and see if you can tell where they were taken!  Have a think about one or two of the questions and leave a comment with your replies.

1) Why do you think the kerb has been dropped here?
2) Why do you have to be careful of dropped kerbs if you walking (or running) along the pavement?

 3) What do the two rows of broken lines mean?

4) Why do we have the same lines as these outside the entrance to the school?

5) You can't see what's on these two signs but what could be on them?  Think about the shapes of the signs - there are lots of possibilities!

6) What can you tell me about the two signs you can see in this picture?

Another recount of our trip to City Academy Bristol

You won’t believe the day I had at city Academy!

My best lesson of the day was when we did ict because we did our own blog and we wrote about what we did and how much fun we had.

My second favourite lesson was P.E because when we did the vertical jump I went to 1.6 metres? I was really proud about that. We also did a tally chart then worked out our results. Therefore we also worked out who was then fastest.

In addition, city academy is a good school because there’s around 90% students that have great qualifications. City academy students take care of others around them too. All the teachers teach the children fantastic things like science, ict and maths.

I really enjoyed doing all the activities and dissecting a lamb’s heart. We learned lots of science. As well as we learned lots of things about city academy and we wrote it in our blog. Maybe in the future you might go to city academy and do all the things I did.

Recounts of our day at City Academy Bristol

My day in City Academy by Tahmenah

Can I tell you all about my day in City Academy? If so let me tell you all about it.

So First, we went in a hall which was a sports hall. And we’ve did P.E in there but it was really easy to be honest. So we did lots of stuff like handball toss and stomp long jump. And we did those stuff because we want to be fit. So when we did some we had a break.

So After, P.E we had a short break and a guy came and he was a special footballer. Everyone got his autograph and the P.E lesson was over.

After that, we did science and we had to see a lamb heart and I said “YUCK” but it was disgusting. We had to wear goggles and gloves we wore them because it needs to protect our eyes and to keep our hands clean. Then we used a scalpel to cut the heart and it is used for cutting.

Did you know there facilities are so wow because they have good laptops and brilliant iPods. And they have a massive hall and something they have we don’t have.

Then, it was the end of the day and I really enjoyed the whole day because it was so fun and I really look forward going back.

What shall we call our new tracking sheet?

In our class assembly today there were a lot of positive comments from you about the new tracking sheet.  I'm really pleased you all seem to like this new way of recording learning behaviour in class.

So, the question is: what should we call it?  Leave a comment with your ideas.
