Today we are finishing off ww1and ww2 I have really enjoyed the topic but it is quite sad . we are doing a carousel today on fun tasks based on ww . we have to do a time line , make a game on 2diy make a diorama on d day findout different inventions and finish  off with making a periscope . I really enjoyed making periscopes because it showed you what it was like in a submarine during the war .

We are still doing the topic of WWII and made a periscope out of paper and glue and mirrors.

Now I can see every thing and can spy on things and I feel taller with my one too!

today we are finishing our ww1 and 2 idl project. today we have 5 tasks to do and the first one I started on was design your own working periscope. So the first thing I done was ask what’s a periscope then miss dale sent me to the computer and an found out what a periscope. I printed out a net and started folding it and added the mirrors at one end to the other and it was all going to plan until I made some modifies and cut off the top. Now we can see when Miss Stapleton is sneaking up on us in maths.

Today in class we discussed homework. Pupils completed a PMI chart on the subject of Homework. They put down the plus points, the minus points and asked and Interesting questions about homework.

Most pupils know that homework allows them to share learning with home, improves their skills and moves learning forward.

Most pupils felt that they spend a long time working in school.

We discussed the difference between homework at primary and secondary. Some pupils with older siblings told us that that homework gets done because of the consequences  – pupils with de-merits for not doing homework miss out on school trips!

Funnily enough, the pupils who complete homework thought this was a good idea. The pupils who do not complete homework did not like the idea.

Two of our pupils informed us that their older siblings don’t do the homework or cheat.

Is this really moving learning forward?

Let us know your views!

Plus Minus Interesting (P.M.I) of home work

P –  It gets you smart  It helps you.  You will be very intelligent.

 

M –  Its a waste of you time. Its not important. Parents shouldn’t punish you to do home work.

 

I –  Why do we do homework?   What s the Point of doing home work?   Why don’t we have a choice to do home work?
