Climate Change

We have been learning a bit about Climate Change in the lead up to COP 26.

The Biggies were invited to take part in a digital book that is being passed to schools and others to add their thought on climate change. It is  digital book and we will share the finished product.  Our pages seen me to go down well.

 

We will share some of the work we made over the next week.  The featured image above came from the ideas of some of the children much better than their teachers. Here is how the Biggies introduced themselves:

And here are some posters they made about how we can help do our bit about climate change in school or at home. We included them in a couple of videos we added to the digital book. Click to see bigger versions:

The class worked with a great deal of indpendence to put together all the media for the digital book. Their skills

 

The Biggies are Back

And they are a pretty decent bunch.

The class have settled in really well and are working hard with a great attitude.

We are going to continue with the idea that we do not need a strict set of rules as long as we are “Pretty Decent Kids”. We spent some time thinking about the sorts of things that a Pretty Decent Kid would be like. From explorative through silly to creative. We made some graphics to represent these ideas.

Highlights of the Week 14 May 2021

Another busy one! We have Miss Mowitt in class helping us a the moment, she has brought some fun ideas.

The Primary Lego group made some progress, we now have our competition  playing field finished and set up. This week the group tested an example challenge:

 

The Primary sixes had a deal of fun making a robot avoid crashing:

Maths

Miss Mowitt, worked on some data handling and we had some good looking results.

GRAPHS

R.E.

We have been learning about Ramadan and the class made some fanoos lanterns.

Poetry

The Highlight of the week should have been sports day on Wednesday, but it was too wet. We wrote some poems instead.

Two of my favourites were Ben’s:

Ocean

A universe that never ends
The water is strong
Like an army going to war
It over takes any obstacle

and Lara’s:

Birds

The bright sun beaming through in my window,
just like to look out to see the birds flying past my window,
bird after bird.

But everyone has some good ideas and words. Quite a few were a bit longer.

on Thursday the weather was much drier, and a lot colder, so we went out for

Sports Day

Although we missed the audience we had a great sports day. The children were brilliant at taking part, playing fairy and encouraging others. Lots of enthusiasm

There will be some more pictures of the sport’s day on the main Banton site soon.

BPS P6_7 Home Learning 11- 12 February

After our half term holiday we have a two day week! We are going to use these days to explore 4 different topics.

Click on the images to get more information on each topic.

We will be trying to evaluate our own learning. In each topic there are one two learning tasks for each one you need to record the amount of time you spend on the task, your effort and the quality of your work. You could set it out in a table like this. Add this to your e-Portfolio.

In addition you should continue to do 20 minutes Sumdog and a Read Theory Quiz every day.

We will have 2 short meetings on Thursday at 11:30am and Friday at 11:30am to discus the topics further.

Before the first meeting make sure to look over the 4 topics. Bring any questions along.
