Abacus - N15 - Multiplying by 10 and 100

To times by 10 you need to move the numbers along 1 column and add 1 zero. If you times by 100 it moves along two columns.

Abacus - N14 - Common Multpiles

Today in Maths we Have been learning about common multiples.  Common Multiples are numbers that are in more than one times table. 

A way you can work it out is times the two numbers for example 2 x 3 = 6 so all the numbers in the 6x table are common multiplles of 2 and 3.

Update- innovate

Today we are attempting to video our documentary on the first moon landing. 

The groups are rehearsing their parts in the video. 

The austronaughts are rehearsing their interview questions, the scientists are rehearsing the piece of text that they are going to be saying on camera and the reporters are rehearsing their news articles. 

The bloggers have been filming them while they do this to ensure the quality is good enough.

Innovate - Day 2

Day 2

The scientists are finding facts out about the moon sun and earth. And practicing reading them in a documentary style.

The presenters are finding out which newspaper article they wrote is the best. They are then going to practice presenting them in a news report style.

The austronauts and reporters are writing questions to ask each other for when they do their interview. They are then going to practice asking and answering the questions in role in an interview style.

We are finding out what people are doing then blogging about it.

The presenters are reading newspaper articles for their newspaper article.

These are the scientists they are looking at the science books.

The astronauts are writing and rehearsing questions.

We are updating the class blog.

Innovate - More than Mods & Rockers

Today in class 6 , we have began the innovate part of our More than Mods and Rockers topic. 

We are trying to show what we have learnt about the first moon landing. 

We had a message arrive in school from Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin, setting us a challenging us to make a documentary about the first moon landing. 

Each group had to choose a job for the documentary team.

Our group have chosen to be bloggers. We have to go around the class taking photos of the other groups to update NASA on our project.              

          

The other jobs are scientists, presenters, astronauts and bloggers.

Mods & Rockers Research

We've been researching the Mods and the Rockers. We found out information about the two groups and then prepared a mini presentation to tell the class what we had found out. 

Earth, Moon & Sun

We have been learning about planets.

On our second question today in science we had to give a reason why the earth and moon orbits the sun and the sun doesn't orbit the earth?

The planets,including the Earth,orbits the Sun.

The Earth spins on its axis-an imaginary line through the centre of the Earth once every day.

Explain why a person on Earth can see the Moon?

Light from the Sun is reflected by the rocky surface of the Moon,which makes the Moon shine at night and gives us 'moonlight'. This is why we can see the Moon.

Earth, Moon & Sun

Today we are learning about earth moon and sun.

Our learning objective is can I explain what I have learnt so far?

We have learnt so far, that the earth is not flat these are our reasons why:

1. The first reason is you can travel round the earth.

2. The second reason is when ships appear over the horizon the come over a curve, you see their masts or funnels first, then the hull . 

2. Our next reason is the earth is a planet and we can see that other planets in space are not flat and there are our reasons why the earth is round.

Monday Morning First Lesson - One Small Step for Class 6

We are researching the first moon landing. We had read news reports from the time about the first moon landing. 

The first moon landing was in 1969. The first man to walk on the moon was Neil Armstrong. When he first stood on the moon he said "That's one small step for man,on giant leap for mankind."

We made notes about the event and had to remember them. When we got back to class we had to produce a group memory and perform a mini presentation about our findings.
