We are learning to blog!
This weekly text we send to you is called a blog. It's purpose is to keep you informed about what is happening in the classroom. We would be very happy to have replies written in the comment box below. Blogging is a good way to share information and to have comments shared among a group. In Y6 the students have been learning how to write a blog too. There is a lot of good learning going on. Firstly, it requires some reading because the students need to have something to blog about. In this case they are reading about the risks and challenges that people face as they migrate. The whole topic of migration has engaged the students this week. They've looked closely at the reasons why people migrate from Somalia, Myanmar, Yemen, Guatemala and Colombia.
On Thursday the class presented their learning to the other classes of the primary school. We demonstrated how we have been using Google Earth and learning about location of various nations. The assembly was a good opportunity to get used to speaking to an audience. Everyone gave it their best, even though they had very little time to practice.
Towards the end of the week everyone was very interested in the online application for learning keyboard skills. They all asked if they could practice more at home. Here is the link:-
Keyboard skills
Please encourage your child to watch a news programmes with you sometimes. The things we are learning about migration are all related to what is currently happening in the world. The students would benefit from being a little more aware about what is going on in world affairs.
