Official UnderGuide Entry

Right Class Six, it's science time.

No Rosie, it's not break-time now, put those crisps away.

Right everyone, today we're going to learn about temperature.

Oh, hello Mr Davison.

OK. Mr Davison says that nobody is allowed to play skipping until we get the new ropes in June.

OK, thank-you Mr Davison.

Yes, Mr Davison, we will be in assembly on time at eleven thirty.

No Rosie, not even if you bring your own ropes in. I'm sure that Mr Davison knows what he's talking about.

Right Class Six, you measure temperature with a...?

No Jason, get that thermometer out of your mouth and follow the instructions.

So, we're going to measure the temperature in celsius.

The probability...

No Sam, I know that this isn't a maths lesson. I know that probability is a maths word.
How do I know that?
I know that because I'm a teacher and if you look at the keywords board over there you'll see it very plainly.

On with the lesson - the probability of the approximate...

How many times have I told you, Rodney, take that pencil from down your nose. It could hurt you. And we only had the fire brigade in yesterday, didn't we Charlie?
How do I know that?
Well, Rodney, teachers know everything thanks to the answer booklets.

We'll try again. The probability of the approximate room temperature will be the equivalent to that glass of water we left out.

Now, where is the glass of water?

Oh Derek. You drank it Derek. Right Derek.
Next time you want a glass of water you go to the toilets.
    Where are you going now Derek?
    Oh I see, you're going to get another drink of water now are you Derek?
    Well, Derek, normally we ask my permission before we go out of the classroom, don't we Derek?
Thank-you Samantha. It would be lovely if you got us another glass of water.

On with the lesson. Well, we could get on with the lesson if Derek hadn't drunk the water.

Yes Samantha, put the water in that glass there.
Yes, the one on top of the trays.
    Rodney, I did tell you to take the pencil from down your nose.
    The pencil has got stuck?
    You'd better go to see the school nurse.
    You don't know where her office is?
    But Rodney, you went there yesterday!
    You've forgotten.
    Go through the hall and down the corridor; her office is next to the staff room.
    Yes Rodney, the one next to Mr Davison's office.
    If Miss Dawn's class are having PE in there then you will walk down the side of the hall quietly, Rodney.
    Yes, even if they are doing movement to music.
    OK, you need someone to hold the pencil while you walk there.
    Alright, but it will have to be Samantha.
    No. I'm not trusting you with Derek.
    Off you go then.

Ah Class Six. Here's Miss Brown to tell us it's time for assembly.
OK Class Six. Behind your chairs.

I know that we never did the science lesson Harriet.
Yes, I know full well that at your mum's school they do science tests every day and then everybody gets level fives at SATs.
But this isn't your mum's school, is it Harriet?

We'll try the science lesson tomorrow.

Oh, it's Friday is it?

Well, we'll have a nice rest at the weekend and try again on Monday.

All right Class Six. Off you go to assembly.

See you after break.

Yes, goodbye Derek.
    Goodbye Derek.
