Moorland Hall - Year 7

We are having a fantastic time here in Moorland Hall, the days are full of exciting activities such as mountain biking, where we have all had a chance to show our brilliant skills. But so many sports bring lots of tiredness! We have walked around Padstow and bought souvenirs, or sat down by water’s edge trying to catch the passing crabs. The weather is very different here, a bit of everything, but the sun shone when we went to the beach and we were able to build the biggest and strongest castle before the tide came in, there we also get to have a walk and splash water to each other. But the fun and entertainment never finishes as each night all of us get to do a room inspection, in which we have to make our room look like the most clean in the building, and make a little entertainment for the teachers to make them give us a higher mark. The weather here is very different from the one in Barcelona, but today it looks quite hot and the sky won’t let a single drop fall out of the clouds, although usually there’s a cold wind invading the rooms and some icing drops fall out of the clouds. The food here is very nice and personally I think it’s much better than the normal school one, although we have toast and cereals for breakfast every day, they cook a small dish also, and in dinner or lunch there is lots of variation, and they normally cook for us British plates. Yesterday we got to go to a church in which some of us had a bit of an emotive time in, but it looked beautiful and transmitted a mix of joy and peace together. All of us also got a chance to feel like a monkey as we all participated in the Leap of Faith, which consisted in (wearing a helmet) throwing yourself from a tree (hold onto a rope) and trying to touch or kick a red ball further away. Another activity in which you had to work as a team was the crate building in which you had to choose a pair and together try to be the ones on top of more boxes without falling, in this moment the record has been done by Jimena and Drishti with a total of 15 and a half boxes.

Family Day

Family Day was on the 11th of May. It was very exciting. There was karts, archery and a bouncy castle for the little ones. You could paint your hair or your face. Aswell you could buy books or do the raffle. The clases were decorated with the work the children had made. In the primary building, you could make cakes.I had a very good time.This year, you could stay to eat. If you stayed to eat, you´d eat a barbacue. If not you could eat sandwitches or
icecreams.

La semana del libro

   Todos estábamos esperando a que llegara la semana del libro para comprar rosas y libros. Pero también en la semana del libro tenemos que trabajar, y lo hemos hecho. Todos los cursos hemos hecho en cada asignatura un trabajo. Ahora hablaré sobre lo que hemos hecho en Lengua.

 En la semana del libro todos los cursos en lengua castellana desde year 3 escribieron una historia que partía de un cuadro. Cada curso la escribió sobre un cuadro diferente. En year three miraron a La muchacha de la ventana de Dalí, en year four Las Meninas de Velazquez, en year five La gallina ciega  de Goya, en year six Niña entrando en el baño de Joaquin Sorolla y en year seven cualquier cuadro pintado por Diego Velaquez como por ejemplo: La vieja friendo huevos, Los borrachos...

    La historia que escribíamos podía ser explicada como si nosotros fuéramos alguien que aparecía en el cuadro, tal vez como si fuéramos el pintor o también simplemente como si lo explicáramos desde nuestro punto de vista.

    Como todos lo hacían por su cuenta salieron histórias muy variadas y creativas que ahora estan esperando a ser leídas por vosotros en Family Day al igual que todos los otros trabajos hechos en otras asignaturas. Así que ya sabéis lo que hacer en Family Day(11 de mayo)!    Carol Margarit (Year 7)

Book Week at Year 6

All Year 6 were soo excited about book week. The result of this week was amazing for all. Year 6 were looking at Asia. They studied the countries (China, Japan, Philipins, Rusia ...) and then brought in thing they had bought or had from Asia. We had booklets with a treasure box and we had to write who had brought it, what he had brought and something about it. A type of

memory game.

 Then we had a quiz in the library. For example: number 10 said that in page 95 in the witches, How many chocolate bars did the Grand High Witch offer Bruno?

At the end of the week we all wrote a story based ona a Asian book. We all had great fun writing it. The ideas were all creative. All year 6 give a great thankyou to the teachers.

The good thing is that everyone worked hard having loads of fun. Not only that, they learned soo much.

We also loved how the book fair was. Books were all around us this week!!! All our work will be displayed on Family Day (11th of May).

" We have had great fun" said a pupil" We all want all weeks to be like book week. Including the book fair!!!"

We hope you all like books because we all think they are a marvelous invention. Not only Year 6 but all OAK HOUSE had a great time!!!!

Book week in year five

Last week we celebrated book week. We had a passport about reading around the word. Every journey on it was marked with a circle and was 500 miles and to colour the circle you needed to read for ten minutes. We also had a book fair to buy books.




As well as that we wrote a story about the grandfather of Steph who once lived in South America. She found strange objects that belonged to him and brought them in to show us.

Mask making Y5

This week we have been finishing our masks .Quite a lot of people have finished them.We made them by putting glue on a plate. Then we got a bit of paper and put it in the glue,and then we stuck it on and smoothed the gluey paper,and we repeated that lots of times until we covered the whole mask with papel mache.We had to cover it three times because if not it wouldn't be hard and we wouldn't be able to paint it.Our teacher didn't let us do black.She only let us do other colours EXCEPT BLACK!!!!!!After we painted them we had to vanish them so they would not get broken after a few days.

Today Y5Y did our assembly. It was on relationships. We learned that it is important to have good relationships with all the people.

We had fun because we were doing funny things like telling jokes and throwing flowers into the audience.

It was easy to learn the lines.

Hello,
This term our music project was about creating music that linked with our own invented film. We had to follow some steps to create it:

1. First we had to split ourselves into groups of 4 and create 6 scenes of the film we invented and draw them on a paper.

2.The second step was to think of the music that could go well with each scene. (If we couldn't do a sound with instruments we got the laptops to do it.)

3. Then if we wanted we could meet with our group and film our project.

4. Once we had the project filmed we brought to school in a pen drive and joined the music.

Year 6 & Year 7 enjoyed a lot doing this music project. We LOVED it!!!

THANK YOU KELLY!!!!!!

A l'hora de marxar a l'escola ens han regalat una bossa amb un esmorzar saludable, fruita, pa, aigua i formatge.

ROMEO AND JULIET

In the olden days, Shakespeare wrote lots of fabulous plays. This year, Year Six are doing Romeo and Juliet. As you may know, in the past women did not act so men had to do the roles of a women. That's why there were very little girl characters in Romeo and Juliet. Another thing was the vocabulary. With all the thou, thy,thee and so on. So much that we couldn't pronouce it all.

The problem was solved by our drama teacher, Sinead, who has written the play again but with our vocabulary ( with some thou, thee, etc) She also added extra characters for girls to act and made the play shorter as the original was 3 hours long. So A BIG THANKS to SINEAD!!!!!

Year 6 Red will do the 1st part, Year 6 Blue are doing the 2nd and finally Year 6 yellow are doing the 3rd part.

The other two more little problems were that some people wanted more lines to say and as the play was alrady written, Sinead will have to modify the script  and add more part to the play. The other thing was that Romeo and Juliet have to kiss somewhere. They thought about it and realised that it could be in their hand even though it is not definitive.

In Year 6 Red there were a couple of problems, for example, people didn't like their characters as much as others.  In other classes it was not as bad. But in the end all problems got solved.

So even though there have been problems it has been a great time as all students say so.

" We have had a great time reading the script and are ready to act." said a student in Year 6 Blue
"Sinead has done the best of it and it sure will be a grand performance."
