Record using Audacity

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

If you want to record audio easily like we did the other day, download this for FREE. It's the software I use with you in class.

Read all about it!

Please bring your magazines into school tomorrow so we can look at the style of them.
We are going to make a magazine/newspaper which will be glossy and colourful, like the magazines you read. We will discuss it tomorrow. I'm very excited!

Radio 1



All of these people are famous Radio DJs in Britain. They all come from different parts of Britain and elsewhere. Listen how clearly they speak and think about making your voice this clear for your recording!

Radio shows

I have added loads of web links to the left for you to use.
The only thing you will not be able to hear are adverts (I think).
We will speak more tomorrow about radio shows in general.
See you tomorrow!

Fun radio!

http://www.funradiolive.com/
I have added the above website to our blog because it is a radio station only for children. It might give you some ideas for your own podcast.
Some things are for younger children but there are lots of good things to listen to.
Are you ready to record your jingle tomorrow?

Grammar Rock Adjective song

Comparatives and superlatives

Resources to help you

Here are some resources that may help you this week on Primary Resources:
www.primaryresources.co.uk
Click on MATHS
Click on Numbers and Number System
Click on Fractions, decimals and percentages
Click on Mixed FDP resources
You can print out documents (doc) or PDFs to do at home. Stick them in your maths books if you do this. If some are too difficult, you can also go back and click on Fractions etc separately to revise. The Powerpoints are good and you may want to read them at home to revise. There are some things you could print out to help you and put up in your bedroom (if your parent/parents say it's ok only!).
I will show you tomorrow in class.

Press pack problems

Like Natalia, if you are having problems we will sort them out in class next week.
Enjoy your last hours of the weekend!

Blog colour

Sorry Natalia!
The blog will be blue this week (if the blue I have chosen is too difficult to see, I will change it to another blue. Let me know.
The blog will be green next week.
Well done to those people who have sent me messages so far - I would like to see you all comment from time to time so please send a comment if you haven't already. You can also ask me questions about homework or things you would like to do.
Well done to Natalia R and Pablo who have been our stars of the week so far. I will put a separate post on here for each of you soon. I will also print those mini certificates for our fantastic assembly!
Well done to the two Javiers for making their own blogs - they can show you what they have done on Monday.
I look forward to videoing your TV reports next week that we have been practising in drama time.
See you on Monday when we begin our week's reversible and irreversible changes cooking.
Have a lovely weekend and remember to learn those journalism spellings!

Excellent website: PRESS PACK!

The Press Pack website from Newsround is brilliant!
I will show you how to use it in class tomorrow as long as our computer is working!!
If you would like to use it at home, you will need to become a member which is FREE.
It's by the BBC and is very safe but I would prefer to talk to those who want to use it before you join just to make sure you use it safely. You should not use a user name that is the same as your name and you NEVER tell anyone else your password.
There are lots of fun activities on the site and if your parents give you their permission, you can send reports and even picture stories and they may be published online. If you would like me to check the rough draft of your story, I will.
See you tomorrow!

Websites

I have added a few websites to help you with this week's work.

Super maths world may look like a game but it has many different maths levels and some of the work may be very difficult!

For this week's topic, click on 'NUMBER' and then on any of the titles that say FRACTIONS or PERCENTAGES. You could even click on EQUIVALENCE.

Let me know how you get on!

Writing headlines

Q and A

To answer as many questions as I can remember:

Javier S, please remind me tomorrow about your blog. If the computer is working, we will have a look together.

Natalia N, we will do more French soon. Hope that's ok.

Leire, please show us if you can beatbox.

Javier P, the science is for Friday.

Remind me tomorrow if there is anything else.

I'm very excited as my ma and pa are back tonight.

See you tomorrow!

Newsround on Youtube



Next week, we are learning to become journalists. This video is from a children's TV programme in Britain called "Newsround". We are going to be using it a lot in the next few weeks.
This is a sneak preview. Listen to the language used and how it is presented.
