Class+8+This+Term

Our Spring term topic is TOMORROW'S WORLD! Topics for subjects are as follows:
 * This is an exciting new topic which will be covered by all the Junior classes this term. **
 * This page will be updated soon... **


 * __LANGUAGE__ **

In language we will be doing a variety of work in preparation for the Year Six assessments. We will be using our topic 'Tomorrow's World' to study the planets and space exploration. As well as this we will be completing legends for the Spring Eisteddfod. This term the children will also need to do a presentation to the class on their 'favourite place'.

It would be very useful for you to have a fountain pen at home with which to complete your homework - please don't take your school pen home.

** __SCIENCE__ **

Our science work will involve the study of the planets, space exploration and electricity. Perfect for all you bright sparks!

__**OTHER SUBJECTS**__

In technology we will be making space buggies with motors to (hopefully) make them move! Our art work will be mainly devoted to the Eisteddfod, including the making of the year six Welsh dragons!

__** MATHEMATICS **__

In maths we will continue to revise the number system and calculations but also look at fractions and percentages. In our topic work we will be looking at measures (area, perimeter, volume) and time.

ELECTION 2010 This term we have held our own school election. The children were asked for their ideas on how to help improve their school and community. Based on these opinions the children were then put into groups with 'like minded' people. The groups then nominated the children wishing to stand as candidate and chose the name of their party. We ended up with 6 Political Parties... THE YOUNG INDEPENDENT PARTY THE CHILDREN FRIENDLY PARTY THE ENVIRONMENTAL GIRLS THE BLUEBIRDS THE YOUTH ARMY THE YELLOW DRAGONS PARTY For the last two weeks the children have been campaigning on behalf of their party. Posters have appeared all over the school, rosettes have been worn and Party Political broadcasts have been filmed and produced. This this week we have held our own Question Time style political debate. Candidates have delivered their speeches to the electorate and have faced questions from every class in the school. All the candidates should be proud of themselves for the way they delivered their speeches and how they handled the debate.

On 6th May the electorate voted. Our Polling Station was set up in the Library and every child present in the school that day (as well as the staff) made their vote. After counting the winner was announced as...

THE BLUEBIRDS PARTY!! CONGRATULATIONS to them. Their candidate will now join the Student Council and will be able to put forward their pledges. Please see our photograph page for images from the campaigns and election day.
