Weather In Gillamoor

On Wednesday 9th November 2016 we had snow (and lots of it!!!) It layered the hole floor and it was 6 inches at Jasmines house. It was very cold and so it rained, so last night it all froze over and became really icy. People slid around on  the road and we saw one in the bushes on Harland moor. People got there Winter Wollies out such as gloves, wellies, scarfs and hats. We have got a quote from Esme she says…..

Forest schools

Every Tuesday we go to do forest schools (acorn antics) with a lady called Cathy. Forest schools is were you are outside and we do:

lighting fires
making tools
chopping branches
making dens
Eating marsh mellows
making hot water
hot chocolate
Miss Sanderson made popcorn
In the woods we’ve made a den on a flat surface Benjamin lay in the middle of the den so we could build around him. Benjamin said” a pine cone really hurt his back when he lied down.
Also Miss Sanderson did a hunt to learn how to light a fire and what you need. At the forest at the top were mountains of feathers there must of been a attack with 2 birds I used some feathers to light a fire
Benjamin said, ” he picked up a duck leg.”

Tim Peake’s Seeds

Tim Peake is on the International space station up in space.There are rocket seeds up there with him and  all the schools around the world can get some seeds and plant them. There are selections of different seeds to grow, some have been in space others stayed on earth. Also people can compare the moon seeds to our normal seeds at home or at school, also I think Tim Peake has had a very good time so far for his first time up in space.

Lego Castle

Friday 14th 2016 we made a Lego castle when the rest of the class went to gymnastics it has 4 wach tower . We made an amazing castle. First we did the base for the castle which will be the floor.

bags

One day when the year 6s were out the year 2s came into the juniors,also we did a challenge with the juniors.The challenge was to make a carrier bag [out of paper]to carry certain things. We had two attempts in each of our groups. In the first attempt none of them worked and in the second attemt some did work but some still broke.The key is to reinforce the handles.

Gaia from Italy

Gaia came from Italy and she is an Italian girl. Then she came to Gillamoor for 3 days and came to stay at georgina’s for a sleepover and she is a friend of georginas also she has a dog its like a labrador retriever. she had short hair and wears glasses.

The Plants

At Gillamoor School in the junior class we all did some planting of seeds and bulbs. Everybody said they enjoyed planting the seeds. We all got a small pot and planted some small seedlings in some special compost. Mr Dean told us to plant a seed and it was really fun. We all have our own sunflower seed as well as class vegetables such as: carrots, onions, peppers, lettuce, tomato and beans.

Check back soon to see if they have grown.
