P6 NWCC Visit

On the 25th of may, some of my classmates in p6 came to North West with me to see what it was like for an option for a high school. 

Are first subject was English. In English we made a cool bookmark that attaches to the side of the page. After that there was another station in English, where we picked a book and write a little bit to, persuade people to read the book. I picked The Hunger Games it was the Catching Fire book. 

Then we went to art. In art we made a school logo, mine had the Aberdeen logo on it, some shading and a downhill bike. The teacher also played some music, it wasn’t my favourite though.

After that we had some other classes but I don’t have time to share them with you. Anyway in the afternoon, after lunch we played a massive game of capture the flag on the astro football pitch, they have there. There was about fifty people on each team. In one of the games I captured both of the flags for my team so we won. Finally after that we went home and I got Vimto and then rested for football training that night. Thats all I have to share, howdie.

Our Learning

In this post we are going to tell you some stuff we’ve done in the week at school. Are topic right now is space and did you know you can fit one billion Earths in the Sun also Earth doesn’t spin in a circle. We have also been learning about planets like how Mars is the closest planet to us, although if you were to shrink the planets down to a size of a coin, Mars would still be about 500m away but the moon is like a meter from earth.

In maths ewe have been doing rainbow maths. Rainbow maths is were there is a row of 50 times questions and if you do them in under 3 minutes thirty and got over 45 out of 50 you would move up to the next level. Also we have been doing word problems, Word problems are when there are written down sums.

In Literacy we have been doing persuasive writing. We have been making adverts on paper like I done Caliber Bikes and Thomas done spy finger. Today we done a big debate if school lunch time should be longer. Daniel and me got put in the side what wanted it to stay the same length but really we wanted longer.

On Wednesday we started gala groups Daniel, Brody and I are in the same group we are doing Cozy Campfire Crew we are making a big campfire and we are going to cook smores and hot dogs. Do you want to eat a smore or hot dog?Amazon.com : Begatter Smores Sticks, Marshmallow Sticks for Fire Pit ...

Sprint Relay

Two weeks ago, we done a race to see who made it in to the B and A sprint relay team. Before that we done some training to practice for the day. The people who are in the A team are Brody Wells, Daniel Johnston, Owen Howie and Liam Johnston. If you want to watch us  run and cheer for us, Come to the David Keswick Centre on the 13th of May at 3:50 pm.

Our Learning

I have learned that if you shrink down the earth to a 10p and the moon to a 5p they would be a meter apart. Mars Would be a 20p or a £1 but it would be about 500m away. Thats just how far all the planets are away from each other.

I learned how to write in a persuasive tone. to make people buy or convince them to do something. I managed to persuade Mrs Mcnay to buy a tin of beans from my company.

I had to make something to put on the wall so i made a newspaper about the Hangshan Earthquake on Adobe Express. Then printed it on a piece of paper. Some people even put a massive volcano on it and an earth with all the tectonic plates on it.

My Writing Today!!!

My Weekend MTBing

On Sunday I Quickly picked up Owen from his house. We attached his bike to the bike rack on the back of the car. Todd hopped in the car and sat on my dad’s seat. Thankfully Owen came round and picked him up, off the seat and on to the floor. Then we drove all the way to Heath hall.

My dad got all the bikes of the rack and got Cookie out the car. Me Liam and Owen cycled to the quarry, were all the jumps are. My dad is walking Cookie. We went down the hill and, one of the jumps had been turned into a massive gap jump. I was scared to hit it at first, but I got the courage to. I cycled up to fast and overshot it, mid-air I looked over and seen Owens bike, its quit orange, then I landed! Oh did it hurt! My legs had been scrapped. After that we tried to find the right distends to hit it from. Surprisingly if you just role down the hill you hit it perfectly.

Liam got bored and started taking videos of me and Owen hitting the big gap jump. It turns out he’s not the best photographer. He also done one were he lied in the jump and videoed us jumping over him.

Finally just before we left I showed Owen the road gap. The road gap is, you go down a big hill then hit a jump what sends you over a path. I went down first and sadly when I landed… My derailleur snapped off! After that I had to walk a long way pushing my bike to the car. What would you do in that situation?

Presenting Social Enterprise!

Last week a very kind man came in called James. James is from the Social Enterprise Academy. He came in to are classroom and talked about social enterprise with us. He talked to us about what social enterprise is and about businesses.

James showed us what a charity would be like as well. If you made a charity for endangered Poler Bears, then made a million pounds then took it all, what would people think of you then. He also talked about taxes. Taxes are when you have to pay a fee to the Government. Basically if you were in a business and had some workers as well. You sold a computer for £100. Sadly with taxes, workers,insurance and other stuff you would only make about £40.

James gave us a task to do. It is to make a mini business. We worked on this yesterday. My group has three people in it Brody,Owen and me. We are trying to make money so we can donate it to the Edinburgh zoo, for the endangered frogs they have there. Are group are going to sell some frog accessories. So if you want to buy some frog toys and soft toys and other stuff you know were to go.
