Don't forget, Friday 11th October will be the day for Athletics Inter House. Please be on time as we would like all classes down on the field by 7:15 , so we can begin at 7:20.
Please remember to wear your Inter House t-shirt, athletic shoes (no crocs or sandals), hat and water bottle in hand. Come on, Nyati. In class today we looked at this image. You were asked to describe it using all of your senses. What can you see, hear, feel, smell, taste? Use simile, metaphor, alliteration to enhance your description. Think about the extract we read from Jon McGregor's book "If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things." For homework, please can you type up your description ready to share with the rest of the class. The IT team have now given you your login and password info for everydaymathonline.com. As a class, we need to think about how it will benefit us as learners. Your homework for this week is to investigate this website. You must play at least 4 of the games. In the comment section below, record which game(s) you enjoyed the most, why you enjoyed it and which area of mathematics it relates to. Your comments have to be entered by next Friday. Enjoy! Welcome to our new Grade 5M blog! Blogging gives us a great opportunity to share our ideas. Having you contributing to this blog includes many things, but right now I would like to focus on commenting.
Commenting allows for feedback and conversation on a blog. It allows for students to present ideas, and for other students to contribute to those ideas and to build upon them. But for this to happen, we must come up with a set of agreements for commenting on a blog. What agreements do you believe need to be in place if we are to have an effective blog and comment section (or, what rules should we have for comments)? Answer in the comment section below! Check out this website: http://wonderopolis.org/
What did you manage to find out? How do you think this relates to our Genius Hour work?
