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

Drama - Going Beyond! 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

Coding Club

First Lego Challenge 2022/2023 -
https://www.firstlegoleague.org/
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-

Children have been using Scratch to code!

We never had a coding club at my last school.

This is so much fun!

I like using different equipment.

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!

Autumn 1 assessment quiz...

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