The class p5-7 has been doing forces, light and sound.

In this photo an outstanding young man is exerting a pull force on a rope. Unluckily, for him the rope is attached to the building – it is unlikely that he will be able to pull the building along!

 

At Holywood Primary we are organising a big Fairtrade coffee afternoon and are inviting EVERYONE in the village to come. It is your fault if you don’t show up. So come to Holywood and have some Fairtrade coffee and a Fairtrade chocolate biscuit. (If you live at Holywood village that is)

Heya Folks! Back again! We hope you like this comedy blogs… and yeah! Brought to you especially by us!

This week we have been working very “hard” on our work and been learning about Forces, Light and Sound! This week we watched a couple of videos on Air Resistance on a website named Twig (Why not stick or log?) and learned about the Friction of different surfaces. We also learned about how a parachute for a Sky Diver works. The parachute basically catches the air and allows them to float gently down to the ground. Cold.Hard.Ground. ANYWAY…………………. Yes we have been working this week. So sunshine and rainbows! We also did a wooden spoon challenge  were we try to slow down the spoon.

On Big Thursday we did art with Miss Jardine. We made paper models with glue, paper (Of Course!!!!!!!!!!!!) and glue sticks and more paper!!!! Yay!!!! We did Gymnastics with Miss BrochiDonald. We did Jumping! And Balancing! And Computer Science and Coding with Miss Stapleton! And we did Outdoor Learning with Miss McIntyre where we made dens with different Knots like a Timber Hitch! Yaaay!!!! It was fun, we are not being sarcastic!

 

Hope you enjoyed this weeks comedy blog!

THIS BLOG IS SUPPOSED TO BE COMDEIC SO DONT WORRY X3

yesterday me and my friends  where making friction and we got a bunch of sticks we lunched a shoe down and it worked the shoe didn’t move at all. Friction is where two things rub together and its cool to watch. And you get friction when you walk. your shoe is rubbing the floor and makes high friction

forces , friction : we are making a wall with friction and forces photo with information this is a photo of the one of the forces from the wall  ..

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 week at holywood we were learning about friction and it is good so far. We have learned about what it means and how it works so we have been experimenting

and with miss mackentier we have been doing the journey of the cocoa bean that was really fun  we have just finished that topic so we have moved to another topic but I have forgot what it was but it was really fun so all we done was put arrows how it  functions.
