Hmm, Friday things....capital for things or not? I decided not but went against my teacher code which is why I did it!
Children in Need - I had a great idea that the children in my class could pay a small amount for the pleasure (!) of putting a spotty sticker in my hair...this did seem like a GOOD idea...but they preferred to have stickers for themselves rather than me so I put them in. BAD IDEA!
I have pulled out quite a lot of hair in removing them...still, good cause!
My Furbles disc finally arrived - it's taken about 3 weeks - and am looking forward to playing with that this weekend when I plan data handling. (It's Friday and am just wondering whether to have curry delievered this eve...)
So,back to class and stories. Today they all chose a story formula to follow, most chose the 'Warning' story because they felt a connection with it. ... We agreed that if somebody says 'don't do that' the first thing that you want to do is to do it!
One child - quite a talented writer said that he didn't think that any of the story patterns worked for him, so we chatted and he decided on a different one - 'Losing something story.' Everybody finished choosing but not all finished their list of ideas re their stories...so some have a bit of catch up to do on Monday during reading.
We then went onto databases - I find this tough, doesn't grab me much but I try to make it interesting. We use Textease Database CT which seems straightforward enough.
I did input on databases before the ICT lesson - I'd made one about trolls and got them all to make up info about a troll....Did you not know that the world needs a database about trolls just in case you have one living in your garden?!
That went well but we had some teething troubles re the software - my fault I think - so the lesson didn't quite go to plan. If you use textease database ct do you find it easy to save? Is there a setting I need to sort out or something? Any help would be very welcome...
This afternoon we carried on with databases, this time we did one - in class not ICT suite - about Pudsey Bear that we will input next week...The world DOES need to know what he does for the rest of the year!
Then a mountain of things to give out and then it's the weekend!... Hoorah :-)
