A selection of our poems and ‘Reports’ Catch Up!
Most of our poems are now in our Poetry Pages. Why not have a look and leave a comment?
Today we listened to all the podcasts about ‘How our School is Doing’. We made some notes and discussed what should be included in the final Reports. We are going to work with a writing partner in our computer suite to write the reports. We hope to do this tomorrow!!

Mrs Williamson Interview
When we asked the adults in the school the ‘How Are We Doing?’ questions, all of them mentioned the fact that the corridors and areas were bright and welcoming. We decided to interview Mrs Williamson, our art teacher, to find out more about how she manages the art lessons with the whole school.

Writing Reports
Today, P.C. Ward visited our school to tell us what is involved when writing a police report. He read us some notebook entries. A community policeman always carries a spare notebook because they write down lots of details.
The notebook entries are very important because they are used to write up the formal reports that are presented in court. We had lots of questions to ask P.C. Ward and we made a video. We’ll put in on our blog soon. He gave us lots of advice about report writing.

‘How is Our School Doing?’ Questionnaires
We are going to be writing Reports during this block. To help us write a report on how our school is doing, we interviewed some adults around the school today to hear their views. You can listen to our podcasts to hear the ‘live’ interviews which will help us write our final reports.
Mrs Nathaniel is a Parent and also a school employee. Thomas and Jamie interviewed her. You can hear the podcast by clicking this link.
Mrs Nairn, our school secretary, was interviewed by James and Jamie L. Click here to hear her views.
Mrs Sheerin, a primary 7 teacher, spoke to Lisa and Danni. The podcast can be found here.
Miss Buick is a student who is working with the primary 7’s this term. Here are her thoughts on the school so far. She spoke to Chloe C and Kaylegh. Please click here.
Mrs Webster, one of our school helpers, and Mrs Duff, our Support for Learning teacher gave their views as well. You can click on their podcast by following this link
We are going to gather together all the different views and write a class report on how our school is doing. The report will be available in our new Functional Writing spaces soon!!

We all wrote Friendship Cinquains in class this week. We took photos of our own poems and we are going to import them into our new ‘Poem Pages’
We also have new Imaginative Writing Pages and we’ve copied and pasted our ‘Magic Box’ stories to there.
We are going to do the same with our Autobiographies by placing them in our new Personal Writing Pages
Soon we’re going to be doing some Report Writing, based on our new ‘Disasters’ Environmental Studies Topic. You’ll be able to read these in our new Functional Writing Pages !
Meanwhile, over in our Math Class Blog we’ve been experimenting again with our new digital video camera …… Mrs V accidentally deleted our Poem videos from Google Video so they can no longer be viewed on this Blog – but they’re still in the camera, so they’ll be uploaded again soon!!

HalloMy name is Gregory, I live in Namibia in the south west of Africa.The town is Khorixas.Around here we live in very hot temperatures ranging from 32 up 40 degrees.I saw your blog on the internet and I loved the project, as this is an excellent method in helping the younger ones to start reading and using computers.Through writing and the internet I have also recently made a contact with a top I.T professional in England called Neil.If you read more and more you get more and more brains P.S: keep this in mind,…….GREGORY
I’ve been talking to Neil in Manchester. He lives with Steph and her mum has recently gone out to work in Namibia. She put Gregory in touch with Neil (my eldest son ….. the top I.T. professional!? 🙂 ) and we think that she gave Gregory our Blog address ….. what a small world.
