School Photographs

Programming and coding is now a big item in the Year 6 curriculum. Last week we began our unit by using the iPads and an app called Bee-Bots.Tthe beginning levels required the user to programme and  move the bee along a straight course. However as the user progressed up the level the programming of the bee got a lot harder. Concepts of left and right were introduced and this required considerable thought and problem-solving.

Today we used an online programme called Hour of Code. The first levels required using blocks, you use these like building blocks to build up your code.  Moving through the programme is cool as there are videos every few levels to help you learn the next set of levels. A sports athlete explains repeating patterns and using a loop, instead of dragging over large numbers blocks. Bill Gates is on one of the videos talking about if statements and adding an if block. If there is no left turn keep moving forward. level 19 and 20 are hard. Try these levels at home with your family.
Programming and coding are really important as you have to think hard about solutions, apply problem solving skills and think critically and creatively.

Well done to our newest, very responsible Yellow Ribbon holders!

Congratulations Min Seo, Star of the week!!

Science "Body" Song

To remind ourselves on human body parts, we all composed our own "Human Body" song and performed it to the class. ^^ Great work and fabulous show !!

STAR OF THE WEEK

Well done Min Seo ^^ 

Giving students responsibility allows them the opportunity to grow their leadership skills. Today it was 6 X's trurn to be the leaders and teachers for digital citizenship. Each group of students visited one of the classes at TX  and spoke to the children about digital citizenship. They followed their talk with some class activities that would help the children remember the message of digital citizenship.  Year 6 are leading the campaign for the TX school community to be a safe, secure and respectful digitally aware environment. You will notice around the school the newly created digital citizen aide memoir

The children in the classes appreciated the visit, and  enjoyed the activities 6X had prepared to help make the  digital citizenship message meaningful. In Year 1 they played a game of good or bad things to do, until there was only a winner. Well done Dan Thy, and well done Duc Tri, Jasmine, and Min Seo.

Science Day

Children enjoyed being scientists for the day whilst taking part in Science Day. The children had fun making slime, designing the ultimate shoe, layering different liquids and also enjoyed the discussion on how to survive by making a garden on a tropical island. They had a lot of fun playing around but also learned something as well! What an amazing day ! 

Science Assembly

Children had a wonderful Tuesday afternoon watching some astounding experiments in the hall ^^

Well done Tony! Star of the Week!!

Today year 6 went hunting for gems of information using their portable devices and  QR codes strategically placed around the school. This was the exit point of our unit focused on using and making QR codes. To complete the activity students had to think about the clue given eg food guide becomes a plate, and find the QR code. In this case the code was on the door to the canteen.  When scanned using the QR code on the device the information was on healthy eating, and the portions of what types of food goes on a plate. The students had to take a self portrait to show they had found the code, wrote down the www, a fact and move on to the next clue.

Excellent result  Eugene, Tony, Karen and Khan. You managed to think laterally  about the clues, find the codes and record the information. Great work 6T and 6X you definitely demonstrated how learning can be fun, with devices and out of the classroom.
