Gymnastics

On Wednesday 27th June some girls went to compete at the Tristar Gym Fun festival. We had three routines: vault, floor and beam, but first we warmed up by doing stretches. It was really exciting being there after practicing for so long.  My group competed on beam first, then we moved onto floor. Lastly we competed on the vault. After we had finished that, we received our ribbons. Everyone was excited to see what ribbon and scores they had got. Everyone did really well. It was a great learning experience and really fun. I can't wait for the next competition.

Ode Poem

An ode is a poem that is usually dedicated to someone or something you like. Here is my ode to a ginger kiss.

To: Ginger Kiss

Oh ginger kiss, you are more perfect than a piece of cake. 

You are like an angel.

You are a slice of heaven.

Like your name, you kiss my tastebuds. 

Oh ginger kiss, how I adore you.

Science Roadshow

Yr 5/6 Science Roadshow Trip

Last week our year five and six students had the opportunity to see science in action at the
Science Roadshow.

There were lots of different exhibitions.  The first thing was when we sat down to watch
‘The Fire and Ice Show’. The show was my personal favourite as we learnt about temperatures and
how the molecules warm up and cool down. We then did an experiment using a metal hoop and we put
a pool ball through the hoop. We tested it a few times to make sure it fitted through and then the scientist
put the hoop in some liquid nitrogen (that liquid nitrogen was -273 degrees). We left it for a minute and
thenwe tried to put the ball through the hoop again, but this time it didn’t work. It didn’t work because the
molecules had frozen, therefore making the hoop smaller.

Next we were allowed to roam around the exhibitions. There were four flagged exhibitions that if you
figured out the science behind it you would get a click on your card. Once you got two, three or four
clicks you could enter it into the draw to see if you would win some cool 3D glasses and pictures.
Once we had had some time we then sat back down for ‘The Human Body Show’. We learnt all
about how our body works.

The Science Roadshow was a great experience for all of us. We learnt a lot and it was great fun.
I can’t wait for our next science experience.

This is a picture of us at the science roadshow.

Book Week

This week was Book Week at my school. We had a Book Fair in the library, which is where you can buy books. There were lots of different competitions. I entered two of the competitions. One was the benefits of reading and the other was a fifty word story called a dream. Also on Friday we had a book hunt which was lots of fun. Another thing we did on Friday was dress up as a character from a book. My friend and I went as Mr and Mrs Twit. I really like Book Week because there are lots of fun activities related to books, like the benefits of reading. Book Week was really fun and I can't wait for the next one.

The Toy Shop On Zip Zap Avenue

This week we had our school production. I was a Jack-In-The-Box, which was a lead role. It was a great success and worth all the hard work. Everyone in the school was involved. it was about a magical toy shop. On the day the show starts a young family come to the shop and purchase a buzzy bee toy. The shopkeeper locks up for the night.  But this shop is magical and the toys come alive at night. Tonight is extra special as they are celebrating the sale of their dear friend Buzz the Bee. Each toy takes turns to perform an item in honour of their friend Buzz the Bee. Then as the sun starts to rise the toys must return to the shelves, so their secret is not discovered. In all the excitement everything is not left as it was the night before. So when the family comes back to purchase another toy... will the shops secret be discovered?

I was really excited about it because we had been practicing for so long. From this experience I learnt that every role is important no matter how small. It was great to have this opportunity within school and I will always remember it as my first production. 

Art

In Art we have been learning to blend and mix colours. Mrs Drumond took photos of us and then used an app to convert them into drawings. Next she printed them out. Finally we coloured and blended to make realistic drawings of ourselves. It was great fun and I can't wait for our next art project.

Cross country

Yesterday it was our school cross country. These are some photos of me running the race. It was a tiring race as everyone did two and a half laps of the school grounds. I wasn't really nervous because I had been practicing a lot. It was a really successful day as I came fifth equal.
