Eventful Short Week – Sky Academy
We have had a very exciting and busy day at Sky Academy creating trailers for horror movies. We were organised into four groups. We each had a studio to plan a storyboard and film scenes for our trailers. We used our communication skills effectively to work together while developing our technology skills too. We then had a special shoeing of our trailers on the big screen. These will come home today on our own usb sky bands. They are amazing. If you don’t like being scared do not watch them on your own with the lights out…you’ve been warned!

This morning we visited the Diversity Day stalls. It was informative and fun. We learned about many different religions and cultures that can be found in our community. There were quizes, sample stalls, activities, artifacts and more. We practiced picking up tiny items with chops sticks, learned how to write our names in chinese, created scratch art linked to easter, enjoyed Irn Bru, sampled apples in dipping sauce, tried turbans and bindi, looked at school books from Denmark and much more. We really enjoyed our morning!
Victorians
In class we have been learning about Victorians. We learnt about the Victorian timeline, we went on a school trip to the Scotland Steet museum we also did a presentation in group about different topics in Victorian times. I was in fashion. We drew Queen Victoria, Florence Nightingale,a chimney sweep, a maid and a factory worker.
When we went to the Scotland Street museum we wrote the Victorian alphabet out with a pen and an ink well and learnt about Vctorian money. Ailis wore the dunce’s hat. The teacher was very scary and she whacked Emily’s table with the belt.
The Last Monster In Scotland Show
Our school show was The Last Monster In Scotland. It was about Nessie, of course, but there were evil scientists trying to destroy Nessie’s legend. There were guardians of Nessie’s legend, reporters struggling to get their news paper up and running, some annoying American tourists complaining about everything and the tale of McPhee and Agnes’ heartbrake. Two reporters saw Nessis and exposed a fake scientist trying to destroy the legend of the loch!
