Holywood Hullabaloo

Homework we all know what it is. Most people think it is a bad thing. but some people think it is good.to day  I will be telling you about the good stuff. Homework is there for a resin. Most of the time it Is to let you finish your work that you are doing at school. And some times it is so parents can see how you are improving in class. I think that is a good thing. what do you fink would happen is there was no home work at all. what if you had the decision  to ban home work , would you do it ? now some thing negative some people do not do there homework and get punished .some times you just do not want to do it so. and have to stay in from class there is some reasons that home work is a good thing

we were just doing a p m I board about home work and should we do home work and I was in a group with me Merissa Dakota Lewis, Ethan and jack it was a debate for home work Merissa that we should have home work and Dakota things that we should have home work as well and I thing we should have home work because it moves you learning forwarded and for when you get to high school cause you will need all the things you learned and primary school and it also helps you at college to get you through all the work because you need that for when you get a good job.

In our group was Gavin, Hayden, Paul And Me.

This morning we talked about homework and made a PMI chart (plus, minus, interesting) about it. We found that positives and negatives were about equal but there was some interesting responses from some people. Lots of people had different opinions about homework.

Me: I think homework is good. I would like it if the teachers were more strict about it.

Greg: I would like it if the teachers were more strict about not doing your homework.

Jack: Its boring and I think that you are just wasting your time by doing it.

Some people talked about how they felt when they had finished their homework and when they had to do it. Some people with older siblings that are in high school said that they got a lot more homework there and that the teachers were very strict when you didn’t do it. They said their older brothers/sisters did the homework so they didn’t get a detention or get put in the isolation room. They also said they did it so that they would get a good grade.

Most of the positives were about moving your learning forward and about parents seeing what you are able to do, whereas the minuses were about things like not spending time with family, after school clubs and other important things and having to do more work after almost six hours at school!

Last week Professor John Brown came to Holywood school; he was talking about space. It was really good. He does magic! He was an Astronomer Royal. I learnd lots of stuff, but the best one was that there are over 1 billon stars.

At Holywood we got a visit from Professor Brown and we started with a bit of magic. He had a magic book and nothing was on the book and then there was space pictures and then there was gone. Then there was a copper pole and a bit of metal and a cup. Professor Brown put the metal in the copper tube then it went really slow because there was a magnet. This was to demonstrate gravity.

On Friday Professor John Brown came to our school to tell us some facts about space and magic. We learned  there are more stars in the world than they are grains of sand! And all about the stars/planets there are in our galaxy. He also showed us magic tricks-  like a book that would colour itself in.

The question I asked him was ”when do you think  we will be able to send people to live on other planets?”

He said “It will be a long time before we will be able to do that. It is all about  money maybe in 20 or 30 years.”

Last Friday, we had a professor come in and he was teaching us about space. It was really interesting. He had his Power Point up to show us what was in space.

He ran us through the Power Point and in the middle of the Power Point he took questions.

My question was: If you had to pick a favourite  planet what would it be and why?

Jupiter was his favourite planet because it is the king of planets.

On Friday the 26th of January professor john brown came to talk to p5-7 . We learned about the solar system and space . I found out that there might be aliens in space but no one knows . Stars in space are actually really quite MASSIVE but they look tiny from earth . Professor john brown also told us about how a solar eclipse works .

The best thing I thought was his magic book that he made by himself . Basically, he went through the pages and there was nothing there then he closed it then opened and there was pictures of objects in space then it got really cool because the photos were in colour .

My question was: what was the most exciting thing you have seen in astronomy?

But he had too many things . The class got a picture with him and we all got a moon calendar showing when the moon will be full and when it will be covered by clouds . On the back of the calendars we could get his autograph .

He said he felt like a rock star and he had never been that popular before. I really enjoyed it and his Power point on all the stars .

On the 26th of January Astronomer Royal Professor John Brown came to school! He told us a lot of different facts about the solar system and about space and the stars.

My favourite parts were when he did magic. His magic was amazing. He had a magic colouring book and there was nothing in it, then he tapped it and there was pictures in it and then he closed it again blew on it and it was full of colour!!! Then at the end of the trick he blew on it and all the pictures and all the colours were gone!!! I also liked it when he showed us the Selfie picture on Mars with the robot that could take pictures and videos. I thought that it was quite interesting. At the end people got his autograph and we got a school photo with him. I asked him a question. It was : What is the most amazing thing you have seen in space? He said the northern lights.
