Day: February 12, 2021

We have had another busy day here in the hub.

This morning we worked on literacy and numeracy. After break we made individual Mars Bars crispy cakes which we ate in school this afternoon- thanks Mrs Fraser! After lunch we went for a walk and had a play in the little woods. We really enjoyed seeing the frozen stream- lots of ice. To finish off the day we scoffed our crispy cakes, made Lego zipwires, Chinese lanterns and Valentine’s day cards. Some of us also helped Miss Dale cut some willow and do a bit of painting in Miss Stapleton’s classroom.

We hope you like our photos. Have a great holiday everyone!

Remember to check out the Friday Activity Afternoon pages for loads of fun activities to do during the holiday!

No time to be bored if you’re a member  of Team Holywood!!

Hello team Holywood!

This week for our big Thursday magazine cover challenge  I decided to make a cover for an arts and crafts magazine. I wanted it to be bright and fun. To start with I wrote down lots of ideas. Then three of my favourite ones and started to sketch some different layouts. I decided to call my magazine ‘NEON’ I decided to call it neon because I like bright colours and the word is quite short. I designed it by myself on the iPad.
Here is my magazine cover, what do you think?

Today I started with my spelling test, I got 9/10 so wanted to do another to get 10 and got 9/10 again.

I did sums and then I helped make mars bar crispy.  While it was setting I did a tiling pattern of diamonds which took ages to colour in.

I then typed my little blog, ate some mars bar crispy and took the ice core out the freezer to see the different layers.

Have a great holiday, I’m looking forward to going back to school to see everyone.

 

I helped make mars bar crispys and I cant wait to eat them.

Hope you all have a great holiday.

Hello, Here is a message for anyone who has had a shot at making their own ice core this week.

What to look out for:

• If you have a thinner layer this represents a year with less snow.
• If you have a layer with cracks in it this represents a year that was warmer – the cracks happen when the weather warms up and cools down.
• If you have a layer with something in it… it could be volcano debris that has blown across the Arctic. Or it could be pollution of some kind.

Now you can see how the ice cores help the researchers find out what it was like in previous years in the Arctic.

Show us your ice cores on the blog!

It was Morven’s birthday yesterday!We made her a cake!! Here is it!!!
