In class 6 we have just read the story of "A Colour of Home". We thought of some questions we would like to ask Hassan (the boy in the story) and then hotseated the questions with Dylan taking the role of Hassan.

Tutpup Top Table

Have you signed in to the Tutpup service? You can register safely here (but you'll need to use the class code that we've set up for you). Then, you can challenge other children in school to maths and literacy challenges, or even challenge other children from all over the world (don't worry though, no names will be passed over to other users). Mr. Widdowson's class and maths group are already set up and running, and at the moment this is the top four;

Well done Class 6!

Class 6 can recite the French finger rhyme, Voici Ma Main.

Have a look in Class 5 for the words in French and an English translation.

Interactive School History

Following a visit to Nottinghamshire Archives on Saturday, Mr. Widdowson has begun to build an interactive timeline showing some of the key events over the past 100 years of the school (well, actually the last 104 years as I've also included the previous temporary and Iron buildings used before our current building was ready).

At the moment events from the first log book have been added, and (hopefully soon) events from the second log book will be added. There is also a timeline of local and world events listed to show the context of what was happening outside of school.

View the school history timeline here.

Can you explain?

Mr. Widdowson is confused! He always thought that shadows never left your side. But today the children proved him wrong. Look at this picture...

Can you explain what has happened to make the shadow separate from the person? Leave a comment below.

New poll question

We've launched a new poll on the left hand side of the page - give us your views on the new lunch box trolleys.

• Do you prefer to put your lunchbox on a trolley, instead of in a box on the floor?
• Is your lunchbox protected better on the trolley?
• Did you prefer putting your dinner in a box on the floor?

The results of the previous polls can be found here.
