So basically I’m going to have my piano exam grade 3 next Tuesday which means I won’t be here to tell you about it next Tuesday so I’ll tell you about it today. It is in the Baptist church in Georgetown. Let me tell you how it works, First the examiner reads out some scales for me and then I need to play them. She/he will give me a mark for how well I play them then I need to play three pieces/songs to the examiner and then she/he gives me a sight reading piece for me to play, I have 30sec to read through the piece and to play silently on the keys then I have to play it as best as I can. Last but not least, I have the aural test where the examiner plays a pieced and I have to clap in time and then tell them if it is in 2,3 or 4 time/beats. then they play 3 short 5 or 6 notes and I have to sing them back as echos. And the last aural test is a long piece that the examiner plays and then she/he asks me questions about the piece. Then I walk out and get a slice of cake with my mum and then go home.
I’m going to tell you about my learning. We have been doing food technology for our topic and it is really fun. We have cooked nachos and made salsa and grated cheese to put our nachos in the oven. Then we wrote a recipe of what we done and then designed a front cover for our recipe book to put all of our recipes in and to use at home. This week we have been learning about the journey of food and what processes it has gone through to get to our local supermarket and on to our plate. The website we used was called food a fact of life. I can’t wait for you to come back so that I can tell you even more about my learning. I will update you more about school next week.
Today I’m going to tell you about Halloween day on Friday the 1st of November and show you my costume for if you didn’t see it. I was a demagorgan from stranger things a tv show. Here is a picture of it….
It is all home made. The mask and everything. Anyhow we done four very fun activities. They were disco/party, chocolate covered apple making, pumpkin making with socks and spells and smells.
Today I’m going to tell you about my holiday when I went down
to England.
I went to tewksbury to see my new baby cousin who is fourteen weeks old. her name is florence. she isadorilble!!!
I also went to Bath. It is full of beautiful old buildings. I saw the royal crescent which is a row of thirty curved houses. Me and my family went to a restaurant in Bath and I had a panini with an Earl grey tea set. My mum had a panini with Brie, Spanish chorizo, and some chilly sauce. my sister had the same panini as me, mozzarella, pesto and tomatoes. My dad had a decaf coffee.
Then we went to the river just on the other side of the restaurant and my sister took a STUNNING photo of the river with the fallen leaves and edited it using the vivid warm setting. Here is a picture of Bath….
Today I’m going to talk about photography in art on Big Thursday. As I told you last week Mr Walker has been coming in to teach us about photography. The previous two weeks the has taught us about holding, taking memory cards in and out, views, the rule of thirds and angles. Here are some of the pictures I took last week….
I am very impressed with myself. These photos have been edited by me but I had Mr Walker to help me with the third picture to get that light to look a bit warmer. I think they look AMAZING. Mr Walker was impressed too and he said that he really liked them.
Today I’m going to tell you all about art in Big Thursday. We are doing photography with Mr Walker. Here are four of the pictures that I took and edited.

On the 15th of November, P6-7, Mr Walker is going to take 14 people to display their pictures in a gallery called Shambellie house in Dumfries. I am really hoping that I will get to go, along with my bests friend Nancy and Nia. We have been doing this for three weeks now and I think we have around two to three more weeks left before we go to Shembellie house.
In school P6-7 are doing a Vikings show at the bridge with the Scottish opera and we are doing three different songs… Prepare, Vikings forever and Defenders of the Earth. There are also three groups…. The Vikings, The Villagers and The Sorcerers.
This is the Vikings Forever song
