Learning At Holywood

Hello! How are you guys doing today? 

In Big Thursday we are doing our usual four subjects.

The subjects that we are doing are: POP ART, DRAMA, OUTDOOR LEARNING and P.E.

P6/7 start with pop art and we are focusing on a different kind of  art each week. Obviously, it is still pop art but so far we have done word art. Word art is a word in the middle of a page and then we decorated the outside of the word in patterns and colours. We have a rule that we only use three colours to colour in the whole picture. Then last week and the week before we were focusing on drawing a person in the style of Roy Lichtenstein. So his style is the face made of dots really close together and the hair was coloured in. When you drew the face you had to draw the face really big.

Then we go to drama were we are focusing on re-enacting stories and our story is about a man who saved his people from a horrid beast called a Minator. We also did a game called  television interview where we are interviewing Theseus who is the hero of Greece and Ariadne who is the betrayed princess of the isle of Crete. 

Next we go to outdoor learning were we are learning how to tie knots and make catapults. MY CATAPULT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, we go to p.e, where we are learning a variety of skills such as, throwing and catching, bating and running.

Well, I have to go now so bye!!!

Setting Up Tents For Residential.

Hello everybody. How are you all doing today?

Today we were learning how to put up tents so we knew how do it when we went on residential. We were in groups of three when we put up the tents. First we set up the tent poles and put them aside. We then laid out the ground sheet and put the tent poles into the pockets and clip the inside sheet to the tent poles. After we had done that we covered the tent in the waterproof cover and clipped the waterproof cover to the tent poles and there we had it! The tent was compete! We then dismantled the tent and packed it all away!

 

That is all that I have t!me for today! BYE!!!!!!!!!! O § ¶ ß

EASTER DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everybody! How are you doing?

Last week we had Easter day. We played lots of games and we done a few competitions. Of course, it was all Easter related. 

We done a competition that involved decorating eggs. My one was a burger and Payton’s one was a bunnyWe then rolled our eggs down the hill. Some people even threw their eggs down the hill! We designed and made Easter hats, then Miss Dale and the other teachers gave all the best hats that had been made Easter eggs as prizes. We done an Easter egg hunt. P1/3 hunted for white stones so it spelled Easter eggs. The rest of the school had to hunt for a bunch of stones that had been decorated. There were also hot cross buns snake. So technically, all the ”Easter eggs” were actually stones.

That is all that we time for at the moment. BYE! O §¶ß and Payton!

Tiger Tiger

hello, today we will be talking about a book that I have been reading recently in ERIC. It is called… (drumroll please) tiger tiger! (smattering of distant applause). It is about two tiger cubs that have been kidnaped by some two-legs (humans, but they call them two – legs in the book- oh, no spoilers)  and their mother (their big one)  has been killed. Then the younger tiger cub gets taken to have his fangs drawn and then he goes to the emperor of Rome, but he gives it to his daughter who loves him immediately and calls him Boots. His brother, however, gets taken to the circus to fight other animals or humans as entertainment for the emperor. And from there on I will not give any more spoilers incase you would like to read it too. Also, it is by Lynne Reid Banks. We done a task that included illustrating the first four chapters of the book. I am doing chapter 2  and that is where the emperor’s daughter gets Boots the tiger.

That’s all from me for a now  BYE! O §¶ß these are the special characters that I put beside my name.

Learning at Holywood { more specifically } Microbes :)

Hello there! How are you all?

This week we have got a new topic! I present to you…. [drumroll please] ….. MiCRoBeS!!!!!!! We have learnt that there are three different types of MiCRoBeS – these three different MiCRoBeS are the following: fungi, bacteria and… viruses :(. Did you know that most ViRuSeS are spread by not washing hands properly  [WOW! that is true and aren’t we all shocked by this]. ViRuSeS include- covid, norovirus and lots more. BaCtEria is EVERYWHERE! Some BaCtEria is good whereas some are harmful. Lastly,  FuNGi grows on old food, rooting fruit, dead animals and anything that was once alive…..  dun, dun, DUN. Okay I was a bit dramatic, putting the dun, dun, DUN at the end of the sentence about FuNGi! 😀 

That’s all from me for a now, so… BYE!!! 🙂 😀 O

P.S. FROM NOW ON I WILL ADD A SPECIAL CHARACTER THAT WILL GO NEXT TO MY NAME. This is it -§¶ß hee hee.
