St Andrew's Newspaper coming soon...

Two students are working on a school newspaper! However, before they begin they will need a name for it, and so we have decided to ask you for suggestions. It would be great if it had something to do with Scotland, but it is not necessary, and it must be in English.

Please, leave your suggestions in this post as a comment. You will also be given house points.

Thank you, we are longing to read your suggested names!!!!

How fast can you say them?

TONGUE TWISTERS

Tongue twisters are lots of fun! They're great to help you learn to speak clearly, too. Don't just read them; say them out loud. Enjoy!

1) Give papa a cup of proper coffee in a copper coffee cup.

2) There was a young fisher named Fischer
Who fished for a fish in a fissure.
The fish with a grin,
Pulled the fisherman in;
Now they're fishing the fissure for Fischer.

Reflection of the week!

"Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you're going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus."

Oprah

What does this quotation mean?

How can you apply it every day?

Finally, become a detective

Solve this mystery! Become a detective for a while!
Very similar to the detective story you had to write in class.

Enjoy it!

Have a nice weekend!

Different verisons of The Canterville Ghost

These are two sites where you will find different versions on "The Canterville Ghost" by Oscar Wilde.

Original version

Simplified version: it's much simpler than the one we read in class.

Hope you enjoy them if you want to re read the story.

Making Connections....

Very soon we will be in contact with a group of students from New Jersey (USA) by leaving comments in the voicethread through which we will learn about their country/city.

Last but not least we will make connections by Skype with a group of students from New Zealand, Melville Intermediate School, Room 8 and we will learn about their country.

What do you think?

Have you ever thought of experiencing something similar?
