Class 5DF’s Blog

Eco-council is starting again in 2009. Children are putting up their posters, making badges and stickers for children to wear so that they will vote for them. The Eco-council is all about making this school Eco-friendly. Last year there were not many changes made with the Eco-council because it was it’s first year and it was quite hard to organise something for the first year but this year it is more popular and a lot more changes will be made. Class 5Df have been making badges and posters and have made contributions on their posters to

• Re-cycle glass, bottles and paper
• switch off the lights when they are no being used.

Year five have been making masks of goodies and baddies using peoples faces as moulds. It has been great fun and everyone enjoyed it. there a few arguments but they got sorted out quickly.

This is an example of media minipulation.

For the past week it has been a snowing heaven. Children have been off school for a few days because of the snow and it has been forcasted to snow tonight as well heavily! On Monday 2nd February the whole school were aloud to play outside in the deep snow, it was the most snow most of the children had ever experienced. Robin Hood School were off from school o Tuesday 3rd, Thursday 5th and Friday 6th of February. Now we are back at school we are all hoping there will be no school on Tuesday 10th February and even if we are not we only have four days left after Monday 9th February before the half term holidays.

Year five have been putting their pictures onto famous landscapes of their choice (Grand Canyon, Winsor Castle , Eiffel Tower etc.). This is called Media manipulation. Some children have even customized themselves and added huge muscles on their arms! The images look very realistic and you would really think the person was there.

Brass Band had a concert on Thursday 27th November 2008.

The base parts were the Trombones played by Arundeep and Aden.

The Cornets were being played by Oliver, Ishpree and Iris, the fourth person would like to be kept confidential.

The Tenn’o Horns were being played by Utkarsh, Khemi and Amara.

Finally the French Horns were being played by Danish and Sameet.  The music teacher was Hannah.

Class 5DF’s science project this half term is to do with light and how we see it. On the first week of the new term the teachers let us explore ‘light and how we see it’ by ourselves.

Before Christmas some Year 5 children went to the Apple Store in Solihull. They learned to use iMovie. The Apple tutor gave all of them yellow t-shirts went they went.

At last we are ready to begin classroom blogging across the school. Some classes have already taken the initiative and started their blogs, however all of the blogmeisters will be starting their online diaries over the coming week. We are all looking forward to finding out what they have been up to.
