This week, I have spent a lot of time setting up a new blog for the whole class to use. (CLICK HERE: Mr Jennings' class weblog) Everyone has been given a username and password and has had the chance to create at least one post and comment on those that others have made. I have tried various page designs and experimented with different options to create a layout that suits our needs best.

In addition, we have done some Kensuke work, thinking about how the relationship between Michael and Kensuke develops through the novel and discussing how the book will end.

We had our school sports' day on Thursday and everyone in the class helped with this. (We set up all the equipment in the morning and, in the afternoon, everyone in Year 6 acted as team captains, vice captains or scorers.) Read all about it in our class blog - see link above.

We have also spent some more time this week on our technology project. On Wednesday, a group of pupils from Year 6 went to Sheffield to participate in a different design technology activity called Airborne Challenge. They had already built elastic band powered balsa/tissue paper plane (called darts) and made helicopters of their own design. Our team won three out of six trophies awarded and hold the record for the longest flight with the darts - a brilliant effort.
