Six Word Memoir- Compulsory post for this week!

Can you describe your life so far in six words? It’s a challenge I 'm giving you. It can also be about your life in Primary school. You must be creative and clever. Remember that these words need to reflect you……not just be six words. Then look for an image that can represent those six words and save it in your computer.

Watch the video below for creative inspiration, but you are not allowed to borrow any ideas.

Have a nice weekend!!

Thank you to Write Out Loud Blog for the idea

Sasspipes Newspaper Blog

Today we are launching the new Sasspipes Newspaper Blog started by a group of year 6 children. The idea is to have a space where to share news, sites, and anything interesting that you can think of.

This is just the beginning and we think we could make it much better if you shared your ideas as to what to add to the blog.

The Boy Who Built a Windmill

When William Kamkwamba was fourteen years old he built a windmill. He is from Malawi, and using information he discovered in a book and miscellaneous parts that he was able to find, he built a windmill to help his family and eventually his community with their everyday needs. Please watch his inspiring story which shows what can be accomplished with a little knowledge and some ingenuity.

After watching the video, what do you think?
What type of man is William? Why?

Wiliam has a dream which is to finish school and start his own company.
Which is YOUR dream?

If You Could Have a Super Power....

What superpower would you like to have?

Tell us about the superpower you would like to have and how would you use it?

Maybe you would like to have a power that would help you do good in this world. Or maybe you would like to have a power in an area that you find lacking within yourself. For example: perhaps you are having trouble in math; a superpower that might help with instant number recognition and formulas might come in handy.

Cyberbullying

Kids are spending more and more time on computers and cell phones.
For most kids, these devices offer a fun and fast way to keep in contact with friends and family. Some, however, use e-mail, text messages, social networks, such as Facebook, to bully their peers.
This is the video we watched in class and we reflected upon it altogether.
Now, I would like you to watch it with your parents and reflect with them on this issue which is affecting society more and more.
Thank you.
