Spelling Bee

On the third of May 2017 I competed in a spelling bee, I was so nervous on the way to the school where it was being held in but when we got there all my nervousness went away. I got through about five or six rounds but sadly didn't make it into the final.

Even though I didn't win we still got goody bags and we went home with our heads held high.

He has written over forty books with nearly 500 different characters .

In school we read one of his books Foul Play 1 .We all really enjoyed the book .We done a quiz and it was great fun ,if you got a question right then you try to throw a piece of paper into the bin .In the end if there were two people left they would throw again and then there was a winner .

I think the book is very good .

Science

A few weeks ago we went to the library where we talked about water

pollution. We were shown pictures of clean and dirty water.

Some of the pictures included oil on water, white fungus and dirty, polluted water.

The presentation also showed pictures of the bugs and fish that live in clean and dirty water. Afterwards we looked at some tools used to clean the water and

a video clip showing how they clean the water to help the environment.

Snowflakes

This week we have begun our Christmas art by making paper snowflakes.

We got some white paper and folded them into triangle shapes and cut some slits in

the triangles. After a process of cutting and gluing they were complete!

We then experimented with other Christmas colors and they turned out great!

Shields

We recently made shields with icons and symbols that describe us.

We had two sheets full of ideas and little icons and drew them on paper in the shape of a shield. To add color we painted them and they looked extra fun and bright.

To finish them off we added black paper on the back of them which made the colours stand out, They turned out so pretty and unique!
