Holywood Hullabaloo

So this week we are starting a personal project about five animals in Africa. I chose Giraffe, zebra, Ostrich, Lion and cheetah. I decided to do a poster to display my information about those animals

BONUS! It’s Rhona here!!! (Because there wasn’t enough laptops) and I’m here with Lottie to tell you all about learning at Holywood! Of course Lottie has already told you some stuff. So number 1 is since our new topic is Africa we made a HUGE map of Africa to go on the wall and it took forever but it was worth it in the end!! :DDD  And we also are learning about the African animals and have to pick 5 to make a poster on and mine are gonna be a SURPRISE so that when I put them on the blog it’ll be like a nice wee surprise. :)))

OK THAT WILL DO IT!! I will see you soon and Lottie will also say bye. :)))

Hiiiiii payton here today we are talking about my learning. on Big Thursday we were doing Djembe drums, drama, P.E, and Lego we do. On Djembe drums we are learning what hand to use how to hold the drum i think I’m really good at the Djembe drums. Drama is with miss McNae  and at the start we are doing a game and we have to hit you’r leg and clap you,e hands then click and we were doing lion king my group was number 6. P.E  was with miss pattie and it was gymnastics i nearly done a head stand but Lottie had to hold me up. i nearly fell 🙂 .

All about big Thursday. for a starter we have P.E for P.E we do gymnastics and we do different moves like a head stand and a cartwheel. once we have done that we go to music and we get the drums and we do some different pasterns after that we do the lion king but on the drums but its hard for starter but once you ave done it 3 or 4 times it gets easier.Now we have Lego we do and we did Milo and to be fair it was easy so next time i will do a harder 1. Then we have drama and we did the lion king and we practise it for a while but it was fun. That,s it from me.

Hello! Last week we made some remembrance paintings to remember the soldiers in the world wars. We painted backgrounds of red, yellow, orange and pink. Then we traced over a picture of a solder silhouette and then drew it onto black card. We cut the card out and glued it to our backgrounds. Some of us added some poppies. We made a remembrance wall display.

 

I done the landscape painting with the pink background.

That is all from me for a now! BYE!!!

Recently, in school we have been watching a series under the name “Africa’s Child”. It tells us about the lives of children who live in certain parts of Africa. So far we have done Ghana and Kenya. Along with the watching of the Ghana episode, we made instructions on how to make djembe drums, For Kenya, we are doing a project on Kenyan animals. I’m personally going to go for the monkeys, because… ? When we watched the Ghana video, we learnt about a girl who was getting ready for a show, where she would do a tribal dance. They went to go and get a drum, and that’s where we made the instructions from. For the Kenya video, we found out about the life of a boy in the Maasai tribe. We learnt how going to school is dangerous, as the wild animals can attack him whenever. His family lives in a hut made of dung and mud. He takes the animals out before he goes to school, and also takes tourists on guides around the wild to practice his English.

This was Caspian, by the way. Also, goodbye.

In maths we are doing 2D shapes. last week we did some remembrance drawing and painting. we are learning about Africa and the country’s that are in Africa we are learning about Africa because we are doing the lion king as our school show we were making a map of Africa and all the country’s that are in Africa.

This term our new topic is about Space.

We learnt  about the order of the planets and made sculptures out of the planets using  play dough. We found out that Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and that if you put all the other seven planets together they would still be smaller than Jupiter. The sun could fit one billion Earth’s in it with more room to spare for Jupiter that’s how big the sun is. Pluto was the smallest planet until Pluto became a dwarf planet and now Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system. The sun is actually a star and the stars you see in the sky are other sun’s are bigger but they look smaller because they are further away from us and our solar system.

. This is us making craters out of flour and coco powder and we also added some sand into ours. We spread it about the box and dropped a tennis ball, shuttle cock, basket ball and a soft ball. We also piled up the mixture into like a mountain and then dropped the tennis ball on top of the mountain.  Below you can see some of us  making the sculptures of the planets using play dough. We had a  piece of paper and measured the planets how far away they are from the sun in our solar system.
