Kayinat's Diary

This week we have been busy writing our diaries inspired by the film 'Touching the Void'. Here is our Super Star of the Week, Kayinat's amazing diary.

Dear Diary,
As I was descending the towering mountain, I put the Ice Pick on the snow (I wasn't concentrating because of the tiredness.) I put the Crampons on the surface for grip and then I climbed down and suddenly slipped and heard a snap!
''Aaaaaaah!'' The agonising pain was killing me. It came from my leg and I instantly knew I broke it and I knew what this meant. The pain was like it was exploding out my body. If Simon found out he would be furious, but I was helpless. This was going to lead us both to death, and if we did die then I would at fault. This frightened me and made tremble with fear. When Simon had found out I was amazed that he decided to stay and help.

Pattern Detectives

Last week Mr O'Brien's Target Group revised their multiplication facts and produced some great multiplication patterns. Can you become a pattern detective and guess which times table we're talking about?

1. Can you guess my pattern? My pattern is always even. The multiples in my pattern are
4, 8, 12, 16….

2. Can you guess my pattern? My pattern is odd then even. The multiples in my pattern are 3, 6, 9, 12….

3. Can you guess my pattern? My pattern is odd then even. The sum of my numbers always add up to 9

4. Can you guess my pattern? It is always an even number. It always ends in a 0. It is a multiple of 10

5. Can you guess my pattern? It has a pattern of odd then even numbers. It always ends in a 5 or 0.

6. Can you guess my pattern? My numbers are always even. If you double by 2 will you find my starting number?

Press Conference

Yesterday the world's media gathered at base camp in Siula Grand in Peru and got their chance to interview the people from Touching the Void and delve deeper into their characters. At 9:45 am Joe Simpson, Simon Yates and Richard Hawking came into the press room and answered the questions from journalists representing newspapers, television, radio and the Internet. This was a chance to ask the more pressing questions that the people who had heard this amazing story wanted to know. Richard explained how he spent his days at base camp, how he felt when Joe and Simon were on the mountain and his reactions to hearing the news about Joe being presumed dead. Simon hestitantly described how he came to the decision to cut the rope and how the moment still tortured him. Joe was able to speak about how desperate the situation he found himself was and how he was convinced he was going to die. All of the characters spoke of their relief of being reunited again at the bottom of Siula Grande.

After the interview, the three men were then taken to hospital where they would undergo further tests and Joe can begin his long road to recovery.

Our Values

Role model, being brave, being kind, caring, sportsmanship, being positive, inspire, cooperate, honesty, having aspirations, determination, pride, respect

This year we have decided to reflect on the values that will not only help us be good members of Year 6 but will also help us when we leave primary school. As a year group we came up with the key values that we will follow in our classrooms, in and around school and also outside of school.

Which value do you think is most important?

Can you give an example when these values would be needed?
