Transport survey

 We have been looking at the topic of transport in Geography and History. We decided to undertake a survey of the types of transport that pass our school gate. We did our first survey on Thursday at 2.00p.m. We will undertake this survey again in a morning slot to compare results.

Haunted Soundtracks

We listened to an example of music from a scary movie. We had to imagine the scene from the movie and what was happening in the movie from the sounds we heard. We heard lots of spooky sounds e.g. wind blowing, door creaking, chains clanging, screeching etc. We got into small groups then and tried to compose our own soundtracks.

Family Crests

We had done a lot of work in History about our self and our family history. We looked at sources that historians use to find out about people in the past. We learned about a census, our birth certificates and our family tree. Ms. O'Malley then found our family crest that tells us more about our surnames. We then copied them during Art.
