This term we’ve had great fun with our Professor Layton games in class.
We could hardly believe our luck when the parcel containing the games and 10 Nintendo DS Consoles arrived from Education Scotland
Although there were only 10 consoles, we had 16 games. Some of us were able to bring in our own DS consoles from home, though, so that meant we could share ‘one between two’.
Soon after they arrived, we spent some time playing the game.
Have a listen to our first impressions.
After we had played the game for a while, we had the task of describing the characters, the setting and the plot. Some of us recorded ours. Iona and Ellie‘s descriptions can be heard here – we’ll put more on soon!
We also came up with the idea of making board games based on Professor Layton and the Lost Future.
We’re going to make a video of us playing them in class this week. Check back soon to let us know what you think of them.
No-one has completed the game yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as that happens! Meanwhile, we’ve got some other ideas to use the game to make our learning more fun- we’ll keep you posted…
Look at the picture of Mrs Purvis holding one of them today. Can you believe the size of them now?Iona, Ross, Vania and Peter went along to the Primary Three classroom today to have another look at them.
When they were there, they were lucky enough to have had the chance to talk to Mrs Purvis about the ducklings.
Last week, our task was to learn about Ancient Greek Myths, Legends and Fables. On Friday each class invited other classes to come and see what we had all learned.
Primary 6V mostly concentrated on Aesop Fables. Have a look/listen at just a few of the presentations we shared…. every class seemed to enjoy them. We’d love to know what the visitors to our class blog think. Please leave us a comment to let us know.
1. The Boy Who Cried Wolf – An Aesop Fable
2. The Hare and the Tortoise – An Aesop Fable
2. The Ant and the Grasshopper – An Aesop Fable
There will be lots more added to our class blog before the end of term …. check back soon 🙂
Today, Primary 6V have been adding items to the ePortfolio categories on their individual blogs and we’ll put links to some of them in this post.
We’ve been finding it hard to find the time to add items to our ePortfolios but recently we came up with the idea of making ‘one minute movies’ to share our learning. Abbie was the first one to ask for the class Flip camera so that she could add something.
Here it is – what do you think?
Well done, Abbie!
Abbie also wrote about the math game she made with her group today and she was keen to add that to the ePortfolio section. Everyone had to devise a math game for the others others in class to play (and learn from). The thing that made it more exciting was that it had to be a game that could be played outdoors.
Primary 6V began to plan their games on paper…..and, as the weather was unseasonably warm, we decided to take the planning sheets outside and see if we could make them ‘for real’. The games were a great success (making them and playing them!) The photo in Abbie’s post shows the group demonstrating how to play their game to the others in the class. It was a great game and everyone enjoyed having a ‘go’!
Have a look at what Abbie wrote about her game on her ePortfolio. Just click HERE to read her post.
Others in class are getting the hang of updating their ePortfolios and sharing their successes inside and outside of school. Here are links to the ePortfolio sections of some of their blogs:
Peter has added a few posts to his ‘Outside School Achievements’ category. He’s obviously really enjoying learning how to play his drums – and those reef knots he learns to tie in Cubs are sure to come in very handy in the future! Read about his ‘Outside School Achievements’HERE
Eve, on the other hand, is very proud of an achievement inside school – her story is about an alien called Bob. Maybe she’ll add some of it to her ePortfolio so that we can all read it 🙂 It sounds great! Eve’s post is HERE
Wouldn’t it be great to see Iona’s picture on her blog? I’m sure it’s just as awesome as her description 🙂 Read about it HERE
Chloe’s also really proud of her art work – but hers is an ‘Inside School Achievement’ she learned from Natasha. You can see the picture she’s proud of on her blog by clicking HERE
There are lots more examples of ePortfolio posts on the Primary 6V individual blogs and we’ll be adding more on here soon 🙂
We were all very sad today because Rachael is moving house and she is going to a new school tomorrow. This afternoon we gave her a lovely card so that she can think of us when she’s in her new class.
We all sat in a circle at the end of the day and, as usual, we nominated people in the class who deserve a Class Dojo point. It was really funny to watch the look on Rachael’s face because we had planned to keep on nominating her until she reached 100 points! Once she had her 100 points, she was able to spend them on lots of goodies from our class Treasure Box 🙂
We hope that Rachael keeps in touch with us by posting all about her new school on her blog. She’s been a great classmate to everyone and we’re all sure that she’ll meet loads of new friends really soon. You can visit Rachael’s blog by clicking HERE.
Before she left, Abbie had an idea to make her a tribute and she asked some friends to help then everyone in the class said something nice about Rachael. It was lovely. Have a look at it below.
This term we’ve had great fun with our Professor Layton games in class.
