Ward visited our school to tell us what is involved when writing a police report. He read us some notebook entries. A community policeman always carries a spare notebook because they write down lots of details.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/7264/4265/1600/452697/police1_edited2.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/7264/4265/320/544025/police1_edited2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The notebook entries are very important because they are used to write up the formal reports that are presented in court. We had lots of questions to ask P.C. Ward and we made a video. We'll put in on our blog soon. He gave us lots of advice about report writing.<br /><br /><embed style="width:300px; height:226px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=6836070943565203275&hl=en-GB" flashvars=""> </embed>Wee Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09798683591940577104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34946144.post-50634303136232769782006-11-30T07:23:00.000+00:002006-12-09T16:02:34.897+00:00'How is Our School Doing?'

Video Deleted in Error!! But rescued later!!This week in class we've been experimenting with our new digital video camera. We decided to video some volunteers interviewing each other about our poetry lesson this week. We're hoping to write some poems of our own soon, so we began by looking at a variety of poems by different authors. We then chose a favourite poem from the collection and filled in an evaluation sheet. In the video clip on the link below, Nathan is interviewing Lisa (Adam, seen in the video on the previous post, is off playing football with the school team - he probably feels more comfortable on the football field, rather than in front of the camera!).<br /><br />We're deciding whether it's best to post the videos directly on to our blog, or whether to create a link to our wikispace ........ please comment!!<br /><br /><a href="http://primary7.wikispaces.com/poem+video">Video Link</a>Wee Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09798683591940577104noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34946144.post-82541449772172943492006-11-17T10:09:00.001+00:002006-11-26T16:03:55.896+00:00Discussing Poetry!

She wrote most of her story on paper first and then typed it up on her wikispace page. The only trouble is that her story is about 8 pages long, so she didn't have time to transfer it all .... but she'd love some comments on what she's made public so far!<br /><br />I love the way that <a href="http://primary7.wikispaces.com/My+stories+about+me">Lisa</a> explains in her self-evaluation that, as she re-read her story, she tried to put herself in a 'geovisitor's' shoes ........ :) What a great idea!<br /><br /><a href="http://primary7.wikispaces.com/Josh">Josh</a> is really pleased with his effort. He says that he worked really hard with his writing partners to fix the spelling and punctuation to make it eaier for the reader to follow. He loves to play computer games, and has made some of his favourite characters 'come alive' in his story.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1125/3879/1600/upstair%20view_edited.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1125/3879/320/upstair%20view_edited.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">A Wikispace Experiment!<br /></span></strong><br /><strong>The History Button</strong><br /><br />Earlier today Jamie's story read like <a href="http://primary7.wikispaces.com/page/diff/jamies+box+story?v=1731649">this</a>.

It's quite new for us to comment on each others' writing but we're trying to learn to appreciate the good things - the 'star qualities'.<br />We're also learning to comment on what can be improved, but are trying to not hurt others' feelings - the 'wish for the future'.<br />We want to encourage each other to write so we always have 2 stars and only 1 wish ... does this help answer your question?<br />We're not sure yet how much of a difference it will make ........<br /></em>Wee Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09798683591940577104noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34946144.post-1162926970977927442006-11-07T19:00:00.000+00:002006-11-13T20:53:47.411+00:00More Math Class Action ... and other exciting news!Over on the <a href="http://carronshore2.blogspot.com/">Math Class Blog</a> we're off to a flying start!
