Buddies, speeches and wet day timetable

What absolutely horrible weather we have had today! I hope you are all keeping safe travelling home tonight. Due to the terrible weather forecasts for this week, I have suggested that students bring some board games or other activities from home that they can do inside if we have a wet day timetable over the next few days. In saying that, our class has been absolutely phenominal, even though they have been cooped up inside.

For Science Week, we paired up with our buddies at did some coding this afternoon. Year 6 students helped teach their buddies how to do basic coding steps using Lightbot and Scratch Juniour. Mrs Thompson and I were blown away by how encouraging the Year 6 students were and how well they explained concepts to their buddies. Well done Year 6 students!

Last, but not least, we have started speeches in class this week. A big congratulations to all students who have presented their speech so far. One thing that they have all had in common is interesting topics and great research. I have personally been very impressed with the quality of all speeches presented so far and can't wait to see the rest of the class present their speech tomorrow or early next week. There will be a semi-final for the Year 6 students that will be on Thursday 1st September and the Grand Final will be held on Thursday 8th September, combined with the Year 5 Grandfinal. Good luck everyone!
