Break time
In break time we have been building a huge den out of pallets. We started with a wall made out of pallets then we put two tarps over the top. then we made bigger and bigger until it was about ten meters wide. we have a huge tree inside that we use as a look out tower to spot teachers. when we expanded it we had two look out trees. It also has a pallet that has a big hole in it do look out of if we have enemy’s coming. there is also a war horn used to warn people just before there is a battle.

Rube Goldberg
At Holywood we have been making Rube Goldberg contraptions. Rube Goldberg made pointless inventions some of them had hamsters , burning wicks and tennis balls just to turn the page on a news paper. Me and my friend are making one that has a marble run ,domino run and a watering can just to fill a cup of water. We’re not allowed to use any source of fire.

Woodland break
At our school we have Big Woodland Break for an hour at the end of every Friday. I was making a bridge out of sticks and logs with my friends across a really big puddle. The bridge is still very unstable, the puddle is up to my knees with mud, just about. Favourite subject. My favourite thing to do is build dens.
learning
At our school we have been learning about ancient Scotland and clans. We built dens only out of natural resources. We were in clans to build our dens. My clan built a TP.
Lock down 2020
During lock down me and my family have been keeping busy. Me and my sister have our moments but most of the time we get along. We have been going out on walks and bike rides every day. We have been keeping good care of our pets a horse , cat and puppy. It’s hard looking after a puppy during lock down. My cat sleeps in my room and my sister’s mattress has recently been moved to my room. My horses name is jumbo and he is 25 years old.
Science
Today me and grace have been preparing glowing crystals. They will take aproxlimently 72 hours to grow. they don’t look like much but they still need time to grow. Crystals are a solid fibre that is made up of a repeating pattern of geometric shapes is known a crystal. Did you know a crystal is made from when a liquid cools and hardens.
