Movie Making

A storyboard from a Western TV show

At the moment we are working on making our movies for our Exhibition groups. A few groups are having some trouble with how to develop their stories and scripts. Make sure you write out a script or a story in full, then develop and draw the back grounds and characters. Finally your group needs to make a storyboard (there are copies at the front of the classroom) so everyone knows what is happening and what will happen next. Click on the above photo to go to a good explanation on how to make storyboards.

week in review

This week all of year 5 have been diving deep into their Exhibition projects. We have all been working hard to (hopefully) get each of our business up and running by the start of next week. The cakes group are starting to get big orders in  and have just filled a large order of 70 cupcakes this Thursday. Groups this week had to go down to Marilyn with their written business  proposal and apply for a 200:- loan from the International Bank of ISGR. Those who where able to explain the what, why and how of their business during their presentation and in their written proposal managed to get their loans no problem, some had to come back with some more information. A few groups have found that their start-up costs are going to be more than the 200:- they borrowed and they wondered if they could take 'donations' from their parents. If you find that your child or their group starts to ask for more start-up money or supplies, please don't just 'donate' it to them, instead make a deal for them to pay you back when they start to make money. This way they are learning and practicing economics and are learning how to control their own economy.

In other news, students are starting to finish the first of their maths assessment activities. Even though we have put aside our maths lessons to do this they still need to be working on them during their homework time if they are to be finished by the 30th of March.

Here is a video from Khanacademy that explains area and perimeter. I have to thank Marcus for showing me Khanacademy, it's a great site to learn and practice Maths and to have some fun at the same time!

Reading Week

Today we had an author visit from Kurt Lightner. Kurt is an American illustrator living in Göteborg. Kert told us about how an illustrator works with an author and how illustrations develop from an idea and a quick sketch to a detailed drawing.

If you would like to know more about Kurt and his work as an artist and illustrator you can visit his website http://kurtlightner.net/index.htm

Maths Assessment - Matrix

Measure Edit: The due date says the 23rd of March, this has been moved to the 30th of March.

Maths Assessment - Rubric

Performance Criteria

Homework Wk. 10

Up until April 4th we will be working on the Exhibition and the students will have to invest a large amount of their spare time developing, researching and running their new business with their group mates. During this time (up until the 30th March) they will also be working on their Maths assessment (see above post). The quality of their finished assessment should reflect four weeks of work during maths time in school as well as the time normally reserved for maths homework.

Spelling sheet (Thursdays), reading journal (Friday), and Raz kids (Friday) will be due as normal.
