The news reporters this week are Skye and Liam.
Last week Milly brought us the story about the X Factor final. She confirmed that Dalton Harris was the winner and Anthony Russell was the runner up. Thank you Milly for choosing a very current story to share with the class.
This will be the last week of homework until we start back in January. It is due in on Friday as normal:
On Friday, we worked in groups of 2 or 3 to create our own rainforests (terrariums).
We began by putting a layer of gravel in the bottom of a 2l plastic bottle which had been cut in half. We then sprinkled charcoal over the stones. This helps to keep the environment in the bottle healthy for the plants. We then put a layer of compost on the top. Next, we planted Lady Fern seeds, Grass seed tall fescue seeds, Cacti and succulent seeds. We then added 100ml of water and placed the top half of the bottle to seal the bottle and recreate the rainforest environment. Finally we filled out the first page of our Terrarium diary.
We can’t wait to watch what happens next!!!

Last week Angus brought us the story of the Taj Mahal in India which is apparently crumbling due to the effects of pollution and neglect. The Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders of the world and has had between 4-6 million visitors in the last 5 years. Once a bright white colour, it is now turning yellow due to the effects of acid rain.
Jack Gaffney reported on the mobile gaming industry. 27 million Brits play games on their mobiles and games are now the fifth most popular app that is downloaded. Currently 90% of 16-24 year olds play games on their mobiles.
Thank you Angus and Jack for these very different but really interesting stories.
Homework this week is due in on Friday and is as follows:

Last week Hollie brought us the story of a boy named Hunter in Africa who has befriended a baby rhino. The reason for this is that rhinos are endangered because people have been cutting off their horns and making them into powder as it is believed that it contains special properties that heal people.
Thanks very much for this interesting story Hollie.
Homework this week is due in on Friday and is as follows:
After learning about Bar line graphs and Carroll diagrams, we went outside to further test our skills. Here are some photos of us creating Carroll diagrams about natural materials we found outside and Bar line graphs of things relating to the school building e.g how many windows, pillars, bike stands etc. It was a bit windy but we managed to do a good job!
