Help please!

5A,

I am hoping that one of you owns the music to CAMP ROCK and could bring it tomorrow.
We cannot use the theatre to practise "Hasta La Vista" and so I will need a CD to play it in the patio.

Hope you have all recovered from camp/playground painting!

See you tomorrow!

Miss Sam

Good revision books

I have added the links again for REVISION books to the website list. If your parents wish to buy them, copy down the title and the ISBN code to give to the bookshop.





Many of your parents have asked me to recommend books for you to use during the summer months to practise and revise from. Above is a link to some good Key Stage 2 books that you can do exercises in and check your answers and they are quite cheap. You can also choose to buy books for the particular area that you want to practise.

Lots of the internet sites you have been using this year are very good practice too but it´s good to mix things up so that you do not get bored. Also, I know that some of your parents worry about internet safety.

Some of you may also want to look at the Key Stage 3 resources. to do so, look at the left side of the WHSmith page and click on Key Stage 3.

I have also made a list on Amazon for your parents to print out if they wish. That means they can order these books using the books´ ISBN codes.

I hope that helps a bit!

I saw this and thought some of you would like it!

Maths revision!

Woodlands Junior School is always a good and so is BBC Bitesize Key Stage 2.
Add a link on Edmodo if you find a good site please.

Only maths to go!!!

Woo hoo!

Skimming and scanning!

Have a go at these for revision!
Remember to identify the KEY WORDS in the questions and then skim and scan the text to find the answers!
Word searches really help to improve your skimming and scanning technique and they´re fun too!

Spelling Revision

I have just added a link for spelling revision but it would help to revise the main rules that we have studied for the last term.

I will add a few files to Edmodo to help you too.

I hope revision is going well.

Just think - one week and it's all over!

Enjoy!

Miss Sam

Biology revision!!!

These are all the BBC Bitesize activites for the biology topics in science.

Even if you have done them before, have a try again to show yourself how much you know!!

Good luck!

I will add the chemistry and physics activities later in the week but if you want to revise those too now click here.

Sorry!

Here is their blog!

Lara and Olivia's blog

Well, Lara and Olivia have been very busy over the last few days!
Here is their blog:
Enjoy!

Get well soon Noelia!

Noelia,

We ALL hope you are feeling much better now.

Rest this weekend please!

Miss Sam and 5A

Well done Natalia!

Well done to our Star of the Week Natalia who produced some excellent descriptive writing this week! She used personification, metaphor and similes very well.

Well done...everyone!!

I have been so impressed with you all this week!!!
Well done everyone!

Marvellous writing Mario!

Mario - well done for your excellent writing this week!!

Hasta la Vista with dance moves

Great dance moves - can't wait for us to try some of them!

Thanks to Javier S again for finding this for us.

Cakes

Click this to go to a cake website - I don´t know about you but the cakes all seem to jump out at me saying, "Eat me!"

Time zones

This is a great site to use to find time differences around the world.

Who Will I Be?

This is the other song we could perform.

Hasta la vista!

At the end of the term we will be having a 5th Grade end of year assembly.
This year it will be a talent show showcasing all the amazing things you can do.
Each teacher will be working on a different thing for the assembly and you get to choose what you would like to do. We will all be practising certain songs with Mr Harvey and I know Miss Zena will be doing a dance.

Javier S suggested this song to me and I would like to practise this some of P5. Any ideas are welcome as this is your assembly. It's also nice to think of what we're going to do after the SATs!!



If anyone has "Camp Rock" could they bring it in so that we can watch this song together.

Thanks!

p.s If you want to work with Miss Zena and Miss Vivienne, please do so. It is your assembly and your choice!!!

Special message for Marta

Marta,

I hope you are feeling much better now. You can send messages to us on here tomorrow if you are off school again.

I was bitten by a dog when I was about 8 years old - if you look closely, you can see a scar next to my left eye. I've had loads of dogs since and I haven't had any more problems.

I know we are all looking forward to you coming back to school to cheer up our room with your big smile!

See you soon,

Miss Sam

Commas make a difference!

In class we have been looking at how commas can change the sense of a sentence.
Look at the two pictures and see how the comma changes what they mean!!!
See you on Monday! xxx

This week´s STAR OF THE WEEK!

Well done to Laura for being the Star of the Week in both Spanish and English lessons!!!

I have been very impressed with your excellent progress this term - keep it up!!

Even more buddy mask instructions!

More buddy masks!

Buddy masks!

Well done to you all for your excellent effort in writing mask-making instructions!

Though there were some spelling and grammar mistakes, I was impressed with the standard of your work and I know that your buddies will enjoy making them.

Here are some photos showing instructions that were very clear OR had diagrams/images to help with understanding.

I look forward to scanning other people´s work after the next buddy project.

Well done once again!

Miss Sam

This week we will be writing... RECOUNTS

Do you remember way back in September when we were writing biographies and autobiographies? Well, as that was such a long time ago, we are going to revise writing recounts this week.

We have been writing some recounts over the last few months (postcards, diaries and letters) and I'm sure you will all remember how to write them!

If you get the chance, look at this recount book before tomorrow.

See you soon!

Miss Sam

Important message for Lara

Lara,

When will you be back with us? I am having trouble with my e-mail account but will try to send the information to you on Monday at school.

For now, please do the BUDDY homework you can see below, revise from the Science Revision website (particularly Days 19 and 20) and revise fractions, decimals and percentages (go to: www.bbc.co.uk/schools and the maths section, particularly BBC Bitewise Key Stage 2).

Hope that helps!!

Miss Sam

Buddy homework

For next Wednesday:
Write instructions for how to make an animal mask (using a paper plate).
Remember it is for your buddy in first grade so the vocabulary should be quite simple.
YOU MUST include drawings and writing.
Please colour it in.
Use the SUCCESS CRITERIA to check your work.

Example of how you can write the title:

HOW TO MAKE A/AN _______________ MASK

Important message: Gymnastics next Monday!

Hope you are all still having a great holiday. Thanks Enaitz for your message all the way from the Basque Country!! What's "Happy Easter" in Basque?

Congratulations Natalia - we all look forward to seeing your medal and hearing about your win. It sounds like you've been revising a lot so well done! I hope you had a lovely time in the south with your doggies (and your family!).

Just to let you know that we will be doing GYMNASTICS on Mondays this term and tennis on Fridays so please bring your kit! Anyone who is a particular expert and would like to help me coach, please feel free. I think Natalia will be a big help for gymnastics and Bruno will be a great tennis coach but I know there are more of you out there!

See you on Monday!

Drop us a line...write a postcard

Why not send a postcard to us all this holiday?!
You could even send one from Las Palmas!

Remember to address it to 5A and to write our school address clearly:
Colegio Canterbury,
Lomo el diviso s/n,
35018
Gran Canaria

What better way to revise informal writing?!

Happy Easter!

Today was so busy that I forgot to wish you all a HAPPY EASTER!

See you in two weeks!

Miss Sam

Well done to Mario too!

Sorry about the mix-up Mario. What a fantastic cover for the programme!

Science homework for the holiday!

During the LONG Easter holidays I would like you to try the 2006 Science SATs test A. Click here if you would like to print your own copy.

I do not want you to:
a) Get stressed about it.
b) Spend all holiday doing it.

I'm only giving it to you so you can see what the questions are like and how it is laid out.

Just have a go!

Look at the four images below from a great book of Miss Vivienne´s called "Assess Skills in non-Fiction" as their tips will help to make your leaflet as good as possible.

I will put the leaflets up for a display next week.
