Scottish Book Trust Authors Live

On Thursday we had an authors live with Jon Klassen. He was very funny and so were his books. He said he liked hats that’s why two of his books are called ”I want my hat back” and ” This is not my hat”. His books are very funny to. I like his style of drawing to. His style of drawing is very simple there just basic shapes that look amazing, I don’t know how he does it. He wrote a book called ”Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, and he also illustrated a book called ”The Dark”. All of his illustrations are by computers and by a bit of software called photo shop.  Jon Klassen is an brilliant author and an amazing illustrator. This is the link to the Walkers books website.

Rock Pools

On Monday  22rd of  September Karen  came to the School and talked about rock pools. The first thing she talked  about was the tides.  Karen did a demonstration about the tides. The moon was the pickle onion, the sun was the orange, the blue rope was the tide and the earth was a fake cookie. She showed us seaweed and we got to touched it. Then she put the fish tank on the table and filled it with water. Karen took out a rock with seaweed and she took a blob it was called sea annename. A sea annename sting by the tentikal. Then she took out crabs there was one crab was small then Bradley’s thumb.

We went outside to the Burravoe pier to do rock pools. I found seaweed but the interesting thing about seaweed is you can age them by the bumpy bits and dog welks. Mia found  a crab and I hold it. I learned that you tell if a crab is female or a male.

Pirates

We are doing a Pirate Project with Andy Ross and it is all leading up to a concert. Every Wednesday we do warm ups before we start. We have a big story bored and it tells us what we are doing when we are doing it. We drew pictures of pirates with feelings like she is moody and we decorated them with materials and we also painted them and they looked good. Some of the bigger ones made a big map that showed the island that we were on and it had a X on it and that means treasure. We all have costumes to wear when we are doing practices so we look a bit like pirates. I hope that lots of people come and I also hope that my mum and dad come to see but I really hope that it all goes well.

Pirates

First we learned 4 songs called  Drunken Sailor, Fire in Galley,  Were You Ever in Quebec? and A Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea.       We did the whole story of the Pirates and played a game called Blinking Murderer it was fun. On next Wednesday we drew maps. On next week we went into groups and the smallest person from the group was drawn on a giant piece of paper. Next week Andy Ross was sick. We sang much  better. After the singing we put clothes on our pirates then we made pirate picture and pirate earrings. Sofia, Hannah and Emer did a big pirate ship.We put windows on it, a steering wheel, and an anchor,next week.We practiced the whole performance and made up our own song. Then Andy Ross learned us a short song about animals and now we are looking forward after the October holidays because we are going to do the performance and we will video it to.

Orienteering

We are doing orienteering with Miss Smith in PE. We had to learn how to read maps and we got to make our own maps.  We had to set up equment and set up the course for our map. We had to look at the pictures on the map. When we made the maps we had to think where we were going. I have enjoyed the orienteering in PE.

Science

The first thing we did in  forces was pushing and pulling.  If you jump you come back down because gravity pulls you down. Gravity only pulls you. When we push a swing gravity slow it down.

Magnets push and pull.

We leaned that some things we thought would float actually sunk.  Some things we thought would sink actually floated.  We learned that if the plasticine was a boat shape then it floated.  If it was in a ball shape then it would sink.

Orienteering with Miss Smith

On Tuesday we do P.E. with Miss Smith. Right now we are doing orienteering.

Orienteering is reading maps, team work, co-operation and movement.

We are looking at maps and following them. We made obstacle course maps we were in pairs, I was with Phoebe. We had to plan it out on a piece of paper and colour it in afterwards.

I really enjoyed it!
