Welcome to Room 6's Blog...

We are one of the Year 3 & 4 classes at Russley School. We aim to work together well so that we can achieve success in everything we do. To help us be successful students we use the Russley Dispositions. They help us to train our brains to think successfully when we are faced with problems where the answer is not immediately known. On our Blog you will find photos, videos, up-coming events, notices and a range of other exciting information that we would love to share with you!

Class Meeting Minutes 11 May 2011

These were the ideas and issues that were discussed at last week's Class Meeting


Minutes -Term 2, Week 2


  • Jessica had the idea of having a newspaper fight on a big day in. We would have to make small balls of newspaper and throw them from side to side. Room 27 was in favour of this idea

  • Sinead pointed out that although we do take our shoes off, we need to take them off downstairs so we don't get the stairs dirty. We need to carry our shoes upstairs and put them on the balcony. Then some people felt that there might be an earthquake so we agreed that you can wear slippers in the class room.

  • In our class if you miss behave Mr. Ish will ask. 'Have you had your warning' and if you don't the class will say. 'You do know" and the do an evil laugh. Two people felt that the evil laugh made them uncomfortable. We felt that this issue could not be ignored so now when this happens the person must say whether or not they want to be laughed at or not.  

  • In early term 1. We won a game on the bus with Ms. Woods but have not get it yet due to the earthquake. A time has been sorted.

Class Meeting Minutes - 4th May 2011

These are the ideas and issues we talked about yesterday at our first class meeting.


CLASS MEETING MINUTES - TERM 2, WEEK 1


General Business:



  • Cathal had the idea of a marking pulley station. We compromised, and decided to make an owl tray for each table group; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. 

Cathal is to plan and co-ordinate this.



  • Oliver had the idea of wearing shoes inside in case of an earthquake. It was decided that we are going to wear slippers or socks from now on.




  • There was one issue the agenda - Lucy said Mrs Hunter caught people  running and being silly when it's inside play but this problem will pretty much solve itself with wet day monitors now in place.




  • Sain suggested free time /Golden Time. If all tasks on the "To-Do List" are completed to a high standard by Friday we can have 15 minutes Free Time. Mr. Ish will send out a runner to collect them when their time is up.
