Hello!
We’ve put up new learning for this week.
BUT remember if you are still working on something from last week or the week before that’s okay.
Choice and Enjoyment = Better learning
I know some folks are enjoying the Percy Fawcett work – carry on as not enough 19m snakes last week!!
Thanks,
Miss Dale
Hi everyone,

This is a moth I saw in my dads store at the weekend, I really liked it
I spotted a male Orange-Tip butterfly (the females have no orange). They spend the Winter as a chrysalis and emerge in Spring.
I also spotted a Cockchafer or May-Bug – it was caught in a spiders web and had died. It is quite a large bulky beetle (20-30 mm in length). It flies at night and often crashes into lighted windows. It can usually be seen between May and July. Mrs. Madden.
Today I’ve done a couple of exercises which were a walk and a sore workout. We went to the Crichton again to go on a walk. We were walking in the rock garden. I was walking with my dad. We also took some pictures. I did a my own workout. At the end of it I decided to do the bring sally up thing and it was painful. My sisters do it and they said it was sore so they showed me it a few weeks ago and I didn’t thing it was that hard but I was wrong. It was extremely sore. Hope you enjoyed my blog bye. By Orla.
I have to thank Rhona for a recommending The Explorer by Katherine Rundell.
A great adventure story with twists and tension that keeps you hooked and reading on. The story begins as four children crash into the Amazon Rain forest. How will they survive? Can they survive? The author treats her characters maturely and does not put limitations on the fact that they are children. I have to admit that at one point in the book my eyes filled with tears. You really do go on a journey with the characters. Katherine Rundell writes settings and characters in a way that makes them come alive on the page.
I think everyone should read this book – you will all come away thinking about different things. I also think you should read it again when you are an adult as I think you will appreciate different aspects; one being not to underestimate children.
I will be thinking about how we can ensure that all Holywood pupils become explorers.
Thanks again Rhona. Keep Reading!
