We have internet!

Halloween

Yesterday we did some Halloween art.  We used pastels to create our mummy eyes, then tore strips of paper to create the bandages.

I thought it was fun! – Connie

I thought it was entertaining and the eyes were very majestic.  I really liked how we used the chalk for the eyes.  I thought it was a really good idea. – Theo

We discovered that if we rubbed the pastels, they blended in for a better effect. – Achintya

 

I thought using the pastels was cool even though our hands looked liked rainbows. – Farouk

Netball

Last week we started learning Netball skills in PE.  We started with some team games to develop our team work and ball handling skills.

We then learnt about chest passes and pivoting.  This week we added in defenders and attackers to small games.

I love netball because we get to do lots of different things like passing, defending and shooting. – Anna W

We went into mini groups and did mini matches. I loved it. – Ava

Dance

Last week we started our dance block.  We learnt how to sequence the moves to the Wolverine and Deadpool dance using a Zumba Dance YouTube video.  We learnt about the importance of timing and to add some attitude and pop to our moves to make them more distinctive.  As we had no internet this week, we learnt the ‘Gay Gordons,’ but we will learn a few more modern dances before returning to Scottish country dancing towards the end of November.

I really like dancing. – Isla

I really like dancing  because I think moves stand out. – Ewan

I liked the ‘Gay Gordon’s because we got to learn tricky, but fun steps. – Anna O

I quite like the dancing. – Menaal

I am looking forward to moving onto the traditional Scottish dancing in a few weeks.  – Ephraim

Grow Your £5

Last week we started learning about our ‘Grow Your £5’ topic.  We learnt about the importance of different personal qualities and the impact they have in contributing to a strong team, which can run a business.  We used this knowledge to form our ‘Grow Your £5’ business teams.  This week we considered products we would like to make and how much it would cost to make them.  We then considered how much we could sell items for and how much profit we may be able to make.

We got into groups and sorted out different jobs and from there we started thinking about products we could make from the jobs we have. – Cameron

Our groups were bigger than expected, but this means they have more money to spend.  Some groups have 8 people, so they have £40 to spend. – Farouk

I think it was really fun, although there were a few problems/calamities forming the teams. – Michael
