Now, I'm not going to be here on Saturday and Sunday as I'll be in Dubai, hard at work with the football team. BE GOOD for your teacher, whoever it is. You will need to be extra helpful and extra organised. That means remembering to put up your hand, helping the teacher find what they need and reminding them about lesson changes and where people need to go eg Mrs Kingham's group, swimming times etc.

Have a good start to the week and I'll see you on Monday!

Mystery Question Answered!

Last week's question was 'What is significant about Apollo 17?'

The answer is that Apollo 17 was the last American space mission which landed men on the moon. It happened in the 1970s and since then, nobody from any country has sent a manned mission to the moon. Perhaps by the time you are adults more people will have been.

Congratulations to those who got the right answer and a housepoint: Sulaiman, Deborah, Adlan and Adam.

Today's Homework

If you want to download that amazing star program that we were using in class today, you can get it from here. It's called 'Stellarium'. It's not a big program so you should be able to download it quite quickly.

2. Finish your 'Keith Haring' picture - this is only for the people who started it last week but haven't given it in.

Happy New Year

Welcome to a new decade everyone! It's the teens, or at least it will be in three years. The last ten years was the Noughties for some people, you were born in the 90s, I was born in the 70s. What are people going to call this decade, I wonder?

Anyway, there will be some updates to the blog coming soon but I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I hope you all had a refreshing, restful, relaxing holiday and are now ready to get back to school! Don't forget: Monday is PE day so bring your PE kit.
