Oak 2022-2023

Tom and Niamh had the opportunity to work with associates of The RSC - exploring Twelfth Night and A Comedy of Errors. The class were given a scene from ACoE and performed this at The Hall for Cornwall with other schools in the county.

I want to write my own plays using Shakespearean language! - Megan

It was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget! - Theo

I can't believe how many people were in the audience! I heard it was 600 people! - Isla

Probus Primary School Class of 2022-2023

First Lego Challenge 2022/2023 - <a href="https://www.firstlegoleague.org/">https://www.firstlegoleague.org/</a> We have received funding from Cornwall Education for a robot kit and we received funding for another kit from Soroptimist International to get more girls into coding. We are hoping to take 2 teams of children from Year 5 and 6. We will be attending the regional finals in March!

Code Club- <a href="https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/codeclub">https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/codeclub</a> Children have been using Scratch to code!

We never had a coding club at my last school.

Singing - "Happy" Instrument - Classroom Jazz Singing - You've got a friend in me Music in me. Singing - The Lion King

The children have been learning songs and acting to put together the production of The Lion King! Because we had so many children auditioning for key parts, we have 2 casts for our 2 night performances!

I love drumming and will be playing the cajon in the background to some of the songs. - Harvey

I wanted to help with the music and lighting! - Mia

I am working hard on my confidence to sing a solo. - Ava

Asking and answering questions involving time. Describing a house. Talk about different sports. Discussing feelings. Food and drink conversations.

Year 6 Oak Class 2022-2023 Computing - Summer 2 - Programming B (Sensing)

Vocabulary: Micro:bit, MakeCode, input, process, output, flashing, USB, selection, condition, if then else, variable, random, input, selection, condition, variable, sensing, accelerometer, compass, direction, navigation, design, task, algorithm, step counter, plan, create, code, test, debug

Lots of things use computing hardware to sense things - pedometers can sense movement to count steps, cars can sense the road conditions and tell you if you are shifting out of the lane. Sensing software can help people to be healthier and save lives!

How can a Microbit help me to count steps?

We used Microbits and programmed scripts (a group of algorithms) to sense movement to create our own pedometers (linked to out science!)

Year 6 Oak Class 2022-2023 Computing - Autumn 1 - Computing systems and networks Communication and Collaboration

Vocabulary: Protocols are like rules. They are an agreed way of doing something. Computers communicate using agreed protocols. Packets - 1) Header - (envelope) who is it too? Data payload - the message sent (text, audio, video...)

Task 1 - identifying and reworking a packet sent.

Task 2 - Communicating without speaking (using the internet to collaborate).

Task 3 - Communicating effectively and responsibly.

The language was tricky (headers and data payloads) but we linked it to things we know (envelope and the message) which helped us.

We were given strips (packets) of information and had to act like the network and device to put the image back together again!

We discussed that a computing packet is like an envelope and the letter is the data payload!

Year 6 Oak Class 2022-2023 Computing - Summer 1 - Spreadsheets

Vocabulary: Data, collecting, table, structure, spreadsheet, formula, cell, duplicate, graph, interpret, Chart, evaluate, results, comparison, questions, software, tools, data

How can I create a formula? Is it easy to debug in Sheets?&#160;

Lots of jobs require spreadsheets. From shops - checking and ordering stock to banks to keep track of money to schools (check data)

We used formulas in a spreadsheet to plan a party. Some of us kept forgetting to put = at the beginning (so the formula didn't work). Then we linked spreadsheets to our Science - creating a spreadsheet and graph to show the effect of exercise and our beats per minute (bpm).

Capoeira! Movement, body control, balance, focus, rhythm, building up to a performance! Athletics and Fitness - set up, count, time, check each station! Stamina, agility, speed, strength...

Probus to Bristol (The Lion King) Bristol to Stratford-upon-Avon (YHA) Stratford to Harry Potter World! A lesson focused on sound effects before exploring the world of Harry Potter. Stratford - Shakespeare School Rooms, The MAD Science Museum and The Butterfly Farm!

Year 6 Oak Class 2022-2023 Computing - Autumn 2 - Creating Media - 3D modelling

Vocabulary: Zooming, pinching, rotating, work plane, different perspectives, lifting and lowering.

Step 1: Getting used to the controls and creating stacking objects. Can you create objects with holes inside them?
