Below is a copy of the homework sheet you were given out to complete over Xmas.

If you would like to complete the 100 word challenge on the blog you can either make a page using JIT tools (found in APPs) or comment on this post with your 100 word story. I look forward to reading them.

I hope you have a lovely break and see you in 2013!

Last week Year 6 recieved a very important email. It said:

Being the kind and helpful year group that we are we set out to investigate how to change the size of Scooby’s shadow without changing the size of Scooby.

Armed with mini Scooby Doos, rulers and torches we headed for the dark depths of the Ideas Room and set to work.

We tried moving the light source closer and farther away from Scooby, and also tried moving Scooby closer and farther away from the light source. We then wrote up our experiment and some children found some time in their busy schedules to email Raja back. Below is what some of them had to say:

We hope we helped you Raja! What do you think about our investigation? Leave us a comment to let us know 🙂

As you may have read, a few weeks ago we asked you your opinion on whether schools should close when it snows. We read all of your comments (so thank you!) and used lots of them as ideas in our own arguments. Here in our 6CSH English class we are very proud of what we have written and thought we would share some of our writing with you.

 Leandro argued that schools should stay open when it snows. He began his argument by saying…

“Some people think that we should come to school when it is snowing  because it gives you good education . Now I am going to tell you all of the resume why chilled shuned  go to school when it is.I  snowing would like to point out that parents still have to go  work in all conditions. It is important that we go to school because our carers  wounld like to have a time out.”

Leyton continued saying that schools shouldn’t close when it snowed because…

“Some children say that school shouldn’t close because you can learn more. Children think they will be safer at home then at school but  you all know that’s throw. Children say tha can go out with thera frends at home but you can at schoo.  But if you ask me it will be better at school then at home.”

Alex also argued that…

“School  should not be closed only because is snowing and that doesn’t  mean you can not learn and if  school be close you will not get a good education and you will not play with your friends on the snow if you think school should be closed because of the snow  why can you go at side and play?”

On the other hand, Jake believed that schools should be closed when it snows. He began by saying…

“I am going to point out that some people thing school should be closed because of snow and I am going to tell you why. Some children do not want to stay at school because Little kids get really cold they are so small.”

Korben believed too that schools should close because…

” When it snows the radiators could freeze up and stop working. This means that school should be closed because children can’t concentrate in the cold. “

Jeanna also added…

“So that is what some children say so there is not any accidents on the way to school.”

Brandon, Jade, John Paul, Sabrina and Lexx also had some excellent ideas for their arguments.

So what do you think now? Have we persuasded you to change your mind or do you agree with what we have to say? Please let us know by commenting on this post – we love to hear your comments and they really help us improve our writing!
