Cool Stuff - urban style

Yesterday, we started to look at graffiti art. We watched a presentation about the history and the different styles of graffiti and then had a big discussion and brainstorming session about our views. As promised here are some graffiti websites to have a look at:

RE

In RE we have been looking at Mother Teresa we looked at words like when I was hungry you gave me food. When I was in prison you visited me and lots more. These are all in the bible - Matthew 25 verses 31 - 40

We had to draw a picture of one. I did when I was in prison you visted me. I did a picture of a person in prison and another with a friend with him.

Ridiculous Words!

"Every human bean is diddly and different. Some is scumdiddlyumptious and some is uckyslush," said the BFG.

The BFG sometimes gets his words (and his grammar!) mixed up. This is because he didn't go to school and therefore he didn't learn how to speak properly.

In Formula Base, we have created our own BFG words. Can you work out what they really are? Answers on a postcard please!(or you could just comment on this blog!)
Examples from the BFG are:
Cattypiddlers - caterpillars
Bellypopper - helicopter
disgusterous - disgusting

Now can you guess what our words really are?
Mishow
Woof-licker
Digraffe
Brillycanker
Piercing-fall
Airachains
Cherry-flying
Excidiumcious
Spishers
Fumblegumpr
Dominies
On friction

All our words are in our Dahl Dictionary in our classroom which you can see below.

Giants!

We are learning about the work of Roald Dahl. He always has great characters in his book and the giants in the BFG are no exception. We have The Fleshlumpeater, The Bloodbottler, The Childchewer and The Butcher Boy to name just a few. Using Roald Dahl's descriptions of these gruesome giants, we made sketches and are now producing large pictures of them - they're so large we had to clear space in the classroom and use the corridors. Here is our work in progress:

Street Dancing Lost Boys!

For the Peter Pan Production, Formula Base are going to be street dancing Lost Boys. We are working with Aff from Pure Funk to produce a street dance for the production and as you can see we are having great fun rehearsing! So make sure you come and see as perform in the production!

Present Aid

In R.E we were looking at present aid. First we brainstormed some ideas we could give people in poverty to help them live a happy and healthy life. We chose our favourite idea and then put it into a picture ( plus writing and price). We did it in the style of present aid. Everyone had ideas from stationary to fresh drinking water. We chose to do a stationary set that would cost £30.00. It would be a benefit for children to get good education, it's very important to get education because when the children grow up it would help to get a job to get money to feed and care for themselves and their family.

Seeds are nothing to us really, but to some other countries in the world they really matter.Seeds grow vegetables,fruit,herbs and many other things.They are a good source of nutrition, protein and vitamins as well as keeping you in good growth,and good health. It really matters in the world to have food.
