The football is no ordinary ball,  its what we play for, what we live for, no-one can take its place. It rolls onto your foot and makes you feel the power, the energy and the freedom. The football struggles to get to the net but all the difficulty passes through your mind and reappears at the target. The ball is kicked and gently  placed in the net. All is cheering , and Germany should win! Never lose hope, just have a go , So come on Germany!!!

This will be  one of our investigations this week leading onto different areas of pitches too.

This resource was take from Primaryresources but the last two slides modified to suite the FIFA theme!

We have already looked in detail about what thoughts and feelings players experience whilst in the tunnel waiting to come out onto the pitch and also when they get out onto the pitch.

This week we will be looking at newspaper reports. We will look in detail at these links:

Telegraph

Mirror

Can we write like that? This week we will have a go and hopefully get to use the Newspaper frames on Purplemash too! If you want to do REALLY well this week, read some newspaper report about the world cup games. This will help you understand the style of writing.

If we get time, we may get chance to compare what the UK newspapers say to what the German newspapers say by looking at this report by ‘Bild’ (A very popular German newspaper)

Bild

We will obviously keep the world up to day with our learning. Each day we will produce a post that shows the planning stages we have gone through and the results will be posted later in the week! I’m really looking forward to our lessons this week!

I und out that in Germany there is a river called the river Rhine and that is 865 km long ( WOW ). I also found out that the Beatles played in a German City  before they came well known. Furthermore i also found out In Germany Christmas trees are decorated by parents and aren’t seen by children until Christmas Eve, when they are allowed to enter the Christmas room.

We only had 15 minutes to complete this! Click play to hear some of Year 5′s immediate thoughts on Germany losing to Serbia this afternoon.

We have used purplemash and pencil/paper/rulers to graph different information about the German Football Team. We have graphed: caps, age and goals scored! Please click on any of the graphs in the presentation below to see a larger version.

For your homework, you are going to make an electronic version of your player profile card using ‘Purplemash’. You’ll need to log into the school portal: www.heathfielcps.com and scroll down to ‘learning links’, select 2Simple and then click on ’2Publish Projects’ at the top of the screen, then scroll down and click on ‘footy profile’. You’ll then have a frame to fill out. Have a play with the boxes and the words you can click on to add to your player profile.

Good luck and remember to ‘save’ your work!

Talk about enthusiasm…

The first words that a child said to me this morning was this sentence by Matthew in Year 5.

“Hey…Mr. Mitchell, we won! 4:0 to us, did you see it?”

No mention of the England game, just infectious enthusiasm about our project! What a way to start the week!

We have been taking data handling a little bit further by continuing data patterns. We used the graph in the previous post to predict what might happen to the Germany population over the next 20 years. Here is a short movie that shows some of the graphs that Year 5 produced using PurpleMash:
