Hey folks! Welcome to Learning At Holywood week 2!

Lots of “interesting” things have been going on this week so keep on reading because your kids probably wont ever tell you and you will miss out on all the “fun” learning we have been doing!

---

Totally not just been skiving off and doing nothing!

Anyway… We hope you enjoy this weeks blog!

Forces, Light And Sound!

We have started a new topic with Miss Dale called Forces, Light And Sound! Right now we are learning about Friction and did lots of fun tests to determine what makes the Friction levels go UP and are soon to be learning how to make it go DOWN. Yesterday we got a wooden shelf and slid shoes down it to see how far they would travel, surprisingly, Kaylan’s indoor shoe went down the fastest on her, Jack and Orla’s experiment board. When we had finished that experiment we had to see how high up the board would go until the shoes slide down. On the THIRD test (I know so many tests!… But fun ones! 🙂 ) we had to put something on the wooden boards to make it go faster, Jack, Orla and Kaylan’s group put soap and water wen they were supposed to only do 1 thing and then Jack’s shoe went the fasted down and so did Miss Dales Clog, but Jacks shoe didn’t  go very high up for it to slide down. Only 23cm’s when on the second test it was 49cm-69cm high because we cant remember the exact heights. It was actually really fun!

Big Thursday And Business Groups!

We have started Business Groups and Big Thursday back up again and I think most people are happy about this. On Big Thursday Miss Stapleton is Teaching Computer Science And Coding, Miss Brochi-Donald is teaching P.E. (Gymnastics!), Miss Jardine (Not the Mrs Jardine that works on the office!) is teaching Art And Crafts and Miss McIntyre is teaching Outdoor Education/Learning! Last week was really fun so everyone is looking forward for this weeks.

For Business Groups there are only a couple of groups; Nature And Wildlife, Reading, Kiva-Good Behaviour, Fitness-WOW Group, Librarians and lots more fun groups! James, Kaylan, Dakota Lange and Kaitlyne are the Librarians for the Reading Hub and have to make sure it is really clean and there is no dirt and everything is spotless and we have to hoover and make sure all the books are away and plan events to get people reading and yeah, half of our stuff includes cleaning but I know some of the other groups have more cleaning than us to do.. *Cough, Cough Job’s Group Cough Cough…*

 

We hope you enjoyed this weeks comedic blog By James And Kaylan! Be prepared because there will be more!

this weeks learning at holywood  was fun because we where doing friction , force , push and pull . we have been doing this topic for a week now and today me and Dakota got put in the same group because its called twist and we can do gymnastic twists !! we are really excited !

math : me and Dakota really enjoy doing maths because we are in the same group and we are also doing maths sheet which Dakota said that’s her favourite my favourite is the new maths games , in the game there is a board for each player then you pick up the card and there should be units , tens , hundred and thousands on the cards so you have to read it and that’s the game !!!

business groups : Dakota was off on the day that we got put in business groups but I am in kiva group and I hope Dakotas in our group . my group has Lewis and molly in our group. kiva group is for to help unhappy people and to help learning increase.
