On Monday 23rd April, the Y5 and Y6 Futsal teams went to a tournament in Sheffield. When we got there, we had a kick about then we had matches.  Amazingly we won our first 5 matches.  After lunch we found out we’d made it through to the next round! We played 3 more matches but we lost all of them.  Overall we finished fourth out of about 15 teams!

On Tuesday 24th April Mr Wilson’s literacy set were taught how to create podcasts by Miss W and Andy. We worked in pairs, which made it even more fun, to practice and record our reports on a carnival. We had written a first draft down the day before so we just had a little practice then used a program called Podium to record them.  It was really exciting and I sounded really funny when I listened to myself!

On the 24th of April 2007 we did music.  We watched a clip of a film about an astronaut and then we tried to make our own music to it. Everyone played their music to the class. We then made sounds with our mouthes to match the poem that we were given.  It was really fun!

Every week on Mondays and Wednesday Steve Adams comes in and creates a tournament for the children to have fun at lunchtimes. We have 4 teams and name them differently such as: international teams and club teams. It is great fun!

In year Mr Wilson’s literacy set, with Miss Willats, we did podcasts. Podcasts are a recorded piece of writing you can post onto the Internet. We used a program called ‘podium’ to record our podcasts. I worked with Emma D an Alice P. Once you press stop, It shows you how much you have recorded and how big the sound waves were depending on how loud you speak into it. I had a lot of fun, and can’t wait to do it again some time. We had to do it on a news report about a trip to a carnival, and we either worked in groups of two or three.

In music this week we have done conducting and making music to go with a film.  We have been working in groups of three or four people to make sounds to lines of the poems. 

I would like to make lunchtime better by setting up more games, making sure there are absolutely no bullies to small people and apparatus so we can enjoy the lunchtime.  I’d like to make it longer like 85 minutes of play and more football because lots of people like football.

On the 24th of April the year 5 top literacy set made podcasts. The day before we all wrote about a carnival in the genre of a newspaper report so that we could record these as podcasts. We had to speak into a microphone which recorded our voies. Then we got to listen to it and see the sound waves. The podcasts were realy fun to make as everyone felt like real reporters! Some of us got jingles on the front of our reports, this made it sound really dramatic, like we were breaking news. On some of the reports we said about rides going at 25 miles an hour!

I think the field needs something to clean the grass because I am allergic to it.  We also need some more apparatus for the school . We need some new surfaces for the play ground and some more activities for dinner time. It would be nice if could not have the y6 telling us what to do all the time too!
