my reading book at school is kites we are making a display in the corridor .kites were invented in china over 2000 years ago we get all different shapes and sizes . some people in china make big dragon ones for parades . tip small kites are suited to smaller winds and larger kites in large wind . never fly a kite in a thunder storm !!! . how to make a kite what you need : tape/string/ a stick glue two straight pieces of stick .1 ask an adult to make a deep notch in each end of the dowel sticks .the notches should fall in the same direction . 2 tie the two sticks together to make a cross ad tape or a dab of glue to make the joint strong . 3 cut a piece of string long enough to make the diamond shape around the kite . stretch the string around one side of the kite from top to bottom and then stretch it around the other side of the kite from bottom to top . make sure the string sits firmly in each notch. 4 secure the string at the top of the kite by winding it around the stick a few times . the frame must be taut but not so tight that the sticks bend .5 tape the frame to the paper cut the paper about 3cm larger than the frame cut a wedge at each point so the paper folds easily over the frame . 6 glue the paper to the frame. leave the glue to dry for a day 7 attach colours or paper strips to the string to make a tail . 8 cut a piece of string about 120cm long and attach the string above the intersection of the two sticks. wind the other line around the winder.
Solar Eclipse
Today the 20th of March, Holywood primary school experienced the first total Eclipse since 1999!!!!! That’s more than a decade. Most of us weren’t alive then! We do not know about the rest of the pupils but… Josh and I were ASTONISHED! Ethan brought in a pair of solar protective glasses to see the view and it was BEAUTIFUL! The amazng sight is a once in a lifetime. Ethan lent us glasses and we all saw the smile! If Ethan was the only pupil with the glasses, how did we view it? We made solar reflectors with two sheets of paper!

WW2 Museum
On the 1st of April 2015 p5-7 made an amazing ww2 museum. There was a lot of things to do and guns that you could hold and load and they could fire but it didn’t fire real bullets because it was decommissioned. Jack and Lewis (both p7) Were serving cheesy dough balls and soup. you could make your own ID cards and people looked at the personal project that we made. Miss Dale put on some ww2 songs that was in a different box. It took a long time to make all the stuff for it and we loved it and we would do it again.

Soler eclipse 2015!
On 20/3/2015 there was an eclipse. Ethan brought special glasses so we could look straight at it but only for under a minute. The best place to see it is the Faroe islands we made solar reflectors so we could see a mini eclipse. One pair made there reflectors with 5 pin holes in it so there were 5 mini solar eclipses on there piece of card. We took some pictures of the eclipse miss Dales picture was the best it started at 8.30am and lasted till 10.15am it was a shame it did not last to long though.
