Day: January 12, 2017

Today at Holywood there has been some snow which has been amazing. Loads of people have been outside playing in it and creating snowballs and making snow angels. We had to be very careful not to get hurt because some of the snow was actually ice… Ice balls were thrown and snow balls as well. It has been really fun in the snow here today. Hopefully it will come back again someday.

This week we have been doing lots of new things to do with art, topic, music, P.E, writing and reading here is what we have been doing.

 

The first thing is writing. We have been split into three writing groups to write together. There are two teacher supported groups and an independent group. This week my group is with teacher support because last week we where unsupported. My group is Dylan, Mark, Zak, Isla, Cameron, Logan and Elliot. Just now we are writing about Santa and Death and at the end Death gets hit with an anvil! Don’t worry it is a kids animated short cartoon. Now we are on to Santa VS Death Round two!

For reading we have picked out novels to read. There are a few different ones here they are The Demon Headmaster, Bitter Chocolate, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Georges Marvellous Medicine and Kaspar Prince Of Cats. I am reading The Demon Headmaster. we where able to start doing the tasks on the task sheet yesterday.

Just now we are doing music with Mr Riddick. We are learning how to make our own music after watching a video called Everyone Can Be A Musician. We also watched an orchestra playing the theme tune to Pirates Of The Caribbean. I quite like doing music with Mr Riddick.

In art we are making our one Islamic style tile art and it is really hard! I like it though because we get to make  pretty patterns on the paper.

Our topic is Islam and I am finding it really interesting because I didn’t really know anything about I slam and Muslims before we started and now I know quite a bit more. We are making posters about Islam just now and our poster and other peoples are starting to look very neat and tidy.

In P.E coach Liam has came back for lets get sporty on a Wednesday morning after break. We had to go around in a circle and all do an action it got all our hearts pumping and we where all very tired afterwards.

As you can see, we have had a very busy week!

At Art we were doing Islamic tiles we had to draw around the tile 4 times to make a big square and what we do in one square we have to do it in the other square. and we have to do repeating patterns and if we do it in one square you have to do it in the other square and  I am almost finished.

Yesterday we done Islamic styled tiles we had to do a pattern you had to join it up there to be no gaps in between and we had to draw around a tile for a square or you can use a ruler to draw a square but the lines had to be straight if the tiles were not in shape you had to go over them with a ruler then you could to the pattern I still have to do mine.
