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.

Groovy Lava Lamps

Today, we looked at groovy lava lamps. We found out how they work and spent ages watching the blobs go up and down - quite relaxing really!

Step 2: Pour 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the jar

Where is the salt?

Step 4: Shake salt on top of the oil. Count slowly to 5 and watch what happens to the food colouring.
Where is the salt?

Step 5: Add more salt to keep the action going for as long as you want!

It was such good fun that we did it twice!
