Use this KS3 site to learn about time. Answer the questions in your book and mark them youself.

This is a KS2 site if you're not sure how to tell the time.

The Second Podcast

This time the recordings were done in Podcast Club; they are all (apart from the odd hint or tip) the children's own work, right down to the finer production details. The only thing I have done is upload them to the internet (if it works that is!), so well played the kids.

For this month we will have another vote. There are two podcasts, so have a listen and vote for your favourite. Ask friends and family to vote too. There'll be another book token in it for the winner.

Photography Competition

Before Christmas, we took part in a photography competition run by Unison. Every child in the class received a disposable camera and a couple of lessons on photographic techniques from Mr. Murphy (who is no David Bailey himself).

Regardless, the children did a really good job of taking photos around the theme of 'Work'. The photos below were shortlisted by Ian Howarth and the good people at Unison. View them and vote for your favourite in the voting section on the right. Your family and friends are welcome to vote too. The winner will receive a prize.
