Mathster

Unfortunately, Mathster had some server problems over the weekend and only informed me of this on Monday morning. The website should now be accessible to students to complete their homework for Wednesday.

Apologies for any inconvenience.


 

Student Interview to Parents

Thank you to the parents who have signed up to be interviewed by the students.

If possible, Wednesday at 9:30 would be a perfect time. If you are able to make this could you please email me with your confirmation of attendance.

Many thanks!

Mathematics Website Trial

The Mathematics homework this weekend is using a website Form 5 are trialling. It is hoped the students enjoy the website and we will purchase to use after Christmas.

Current Affairs

It is important that children are aware of news issues from around the world. The class have had many discussion this year about the news and students have offered their opinion on a variety of topics. To help students better understand topics I would recommend that they watch Newsround. This provides them with news articles in a sensitive and child-friendly way.

Parents - we need you!

This half term, in English, 5L will be studying biographies and autobiographies. 

As part of this topic the students would like to interview a variety of parents.

We would like the interviews to take place Thursday 26th of November between 9am and 10:45am.

It would be great if parents could be interviewed at the same time however I know this may not be feesable therefore if you are interested in this activity, but would like to arrange an alternative time to be interviewed, please send me an email of interest and outline the day/time that would suit you best. 

If you would feel more comfortable being interviewed in Portuguese, that would not be a problem. 

I look forward to hearing from you!

First Day Back

Welcome back to all students! I hope all parents and carers had a fantastic half term break. 

I was very pleased with everyone's behaviour and attitude today. Each student impressed me with the mature and dedicated work ethic displayed towards their studies. I hope this continues!
