Room 21 MVS 2018

Every two weeks the Year 6 team get together and celebrate our learning and the values that are most important to us as a team. Each Values assembly we  recognise the Active Learner of the fortnight. This is a child who displays the many wonderful qualities of an active learner, including, being organised, focused, able to clearly discuss their learning, ask questions, support others, act on feedback given, set goals and achieve them, reflect on their learning and show a positive growth mindset. We have changed our focus and are looking for students who display the most Perseverance. Who can go through Hard to get to Easy? Who will never give up? Who will try their best always? In Term 3 Week 4, it was a pleasure to award the following students from our class. Active Learner Award: Zoe Perseverance: Marcus and Vaanya

Over the past few weeks we have been looking at how author's use descriptive vocabulary to create vivid images in the reader's mind. On Monday we looked at a piece of writing called, 'What is a Nogard' and had to draw what image we saw in our mind from the writing. The results were so interesting! Today, we created our own crazy creature and will write a description to go with it. Then we are going to buddy up and using the description have our buddy draw what they think the creature looks like. Then we will compare the two pictures and see how similar they are!  Such fun!

In Maths, we have been looking at probability. Today, in pairs, we played a really fun spinner game. We made spinners and divided one in half and labelled it 1 & 2, and divided the second one into thirds and labelled it 1, 2, 3. We had to make a prediction about what we think would happen. During the game we kept track of the score using a tally chart. We spun the spinners and added the total of the two numbers together. If the total was an even number we recorded it in the tally chart and Player A got a point. If the total was an odd number we recorded it in the tally chart and Player B got a point. The first person to get 20 points was the winner. At the end of the game we discussed what happened in our game, how did the results compare to our prediction, did we think the game was fair or not. It was a fun activity and a great way to start the day :)
