Decimals

Today we had a brief session about decimals, as some of us seem to have forgotten what a decimal is made of. Stay tuned to see some sessions about Rounding Decimals over the next few days.

Room 17's Thoughts about Cyber Safety

Created with Padlet

CyberSafety

Today Room 17 watched this video. We were shocked! None of us would be happy saying this to someone, so we would never write it online. Watch it and let us know what you think.


We also watched this video. This one is a bit funnier! But the message is just as important. We are all online and have a lot of access to the internet so we need to think carefully about what information we share.

Hard at Work!

Room 17 have been discussing the Winter Olympics today. We have talked about the recent publicity concerning the dangerous SlopeStyle course. We came up with a list of reasons for and against competing.
Now all of the students are hard at work, explaining their thoughts and justifying the reasons behind their opinion. Stay tuned to see their work published on their blogs over the coming week.

Room 17 Weekly Timetable
