Year: 2022

Dear Nathallie and the KPMG, 

My name is Jabal and I am a year 6 student at Point England School. Last week on Monday we went to MOTAT and I am writing this letter to thank you for being a helper on our school trip. My favourite part at MOTAT was the tram ride because I liked how the interior was all vintage,

 and I liked how there was information about the tram on the roof. Something else I enjoyed at MOTAT was the M-bots because it was fun doing the block coding and it was a bit challenging coding it but my friends were there to help. 

I really appreciate you helping us at MOTAT because it was really interesting learning new things with you and I like how our group had a fun time with you, 

Kind Regards, Jabal.

Last week me Blessing, Salem, and Odyn had a hard time making the scarecrow but it was a fun experience working together.

 

For the last week we have been learning about reciprocal reading, reciprocal reading is where everybody in the group has a role. There are 6 roles, The leader, Predictor, Summariser, Clarifier, Questioner, and the visualiser.

AGREE or DISAGREE

Choose three STRONG points you would like to make to support your opinion, and put them into the places below;

 

Point One:  I think it’s good because kids can learn coding and programming.

Point Two: Games like minecraft for example teaches kids about survival basic skills

Point Three: And games could relieve stress from school.

 

In the space below begin your writing; I think games should be taught in class because kids can learn coding and programming.  For example, games like minecraft teach kids about basic survival skills and also games relieve stress from school. Games also benefit you by, having a quick reaction time, problem solving, decision making and many other sorts of things. But games do have their downfall as it does cause an addiction and laziness.  `
