The pupils of 5th and 6th class are working on creating their own Maths Quiz Powerpoints by writing their own word problems to challenge others in the class. 

We designed our own tin foil boat and estimated how many marbles/ plastic bears it would take until it sank. We watched a video explaining buoyancy and mass. We picked out two new Talktime words for our Word Wall- "reinforce" and "cargo". We tested our boat designs in a large container of water and calculated the mass by using rice. Most importantly...we all had loads of fun!

The 5th and 6th class pupils did a clean up of the school grounds today. We weeded various play areas and collected rubbish from around our school. We collected two full bags of rubbish! Well done to everyone for the huge effort in keeping our environment clean! 

Our duties will include weeding and preparing the planting beds, researching plants we can grow at different times of the year, watering plants weekly, maintaining and caring for the plants and harvesting.

We have set up our new ICT committee for the year ahead. We are delighted to announce that we will be given the use of 15 laptops in the senior classes and tablets in the junior rooms. We have begun learning to use Powerpoint for our project work and research. Our duties will be to ensure the laptops/tablets are stored correctly and charged. We will distribute the laptops and tablets to the various classes each day. We will teach others how to use Scratch coding and Powerpoint.
