Holywood Hullabaloo

Today on Newsround:

• Lucky escape for the tourists on Mount Etna in Italy
• How a spiders diet is good for humans
• New hippo baby says hello to the public for the first time
• Rare horse encounter

Tourists and a camera crew on Mount Etna made a lucky escape when the volcano let out an almighty explosion! Mount Etna is located in Italy and the people living there must have been in shock. Mount Etna is one of the worlds most active volcanos and it is quite normal for it to lose its temper. Rebecca Morrel who experienced this occurrence said: “it was a very lucky escape for all on Mount Etna yesterday (16th March 2017) and it was one of the scariest encounters I have ever had. When we were running for our lives a huge rock sizzled right through my sleeping bag and now I have a huge hole in it!” The explosions on Mount Etna are some of the most unpredictable on Earth and scientists are still trying to figure out how to predict Mount Etnas huge and dangerous eruptions.

Scared of spiders?  Well hopefully not anymore! Researchers have found out spiders are helping humans by their diet… BUGS!! They eat an astonishing  8 million tons of insects a year! They are helping us by eating the bugs because ants and fly’s cause disease and we don’t want to catch anything… do we?

Now to a rare happening in Suffolk. two twin baby horses (foals) were born. There mother Rose seems very proud of her children. One is called Tilly the other called Lilly.

Now over in Australia a baby hippo has made his first ever appearance with his mum. She is a pygmy hippo and there are less than 3000 left in the wild. She has not yet got a name but a competition is being held to help decide a name for her.

That’s all from this weeks Newsround

Today we have been learning to use Publisher to make posters in P.1-3, editing colour/font and adding clip art. We have made Fire Safety posters in pairs, using what we have been discussing in our Be Safe topic.

This term pupils in P.1-3 have been learning about different types of weather, and they have carried out some research in groups into different types of severe weather like tornados, droughts and floods. They have also been learning to make Power Points so they presented their facts as a slideshow.

These are some of their Power Point Presentations.
