Malham Cove

At malham we have been learning about limestone and glints.  We never new about all of this stuff.
We climbed 411 limestone steps to the top of Malham Cove - it was very hard but when we reached the limestone pavement we were high up so we could see the whole valley. After a while it started to rain very badly and we all started to slip! Luckily, we didn't get hurt and had a great time.

A few things that we learnt today...

Today we arrived in Yorkshire.  We had a good journey.  After having our lunch we split up into 2 groups.  My group went to gardale scar where Harry Potter was recently filmed.  We had a great time and learnt a few special words like meander - that is were there is a bend in a steam.  After that we met and went opposite directions.  When we split up my group went to a place called Janet's foss . Janet is the queen of the faries.  There was a big waterful and behind that is were Janet lives. Foss in another lanuage means falls.

On coach

Woooooooo! We are on the coach waiting for it to start ........ Neads a jump start :( 
We are now on our way and are already having fun. We have a long journey ahead of us so  we better get going we will update you when we get there - bye.  :)

mollie.t 100 word challenge week 9

The children of the school rushed to the windows. The 50 foot long spider sat watching the childrens every move. I stood under the spider not moving anything. I was trying to tell them not to move, but it was to difficult. I had a feeling this is the end. I had to get out some how. All of a sudden, I remembered the knife in my bag. I slowly pulled it out and put the petrol from Mr Cowl's car below the spider. I slowly cut the web and the spider fell. The spider disappeared, and the school cheered. That was enough for a day.

The big black spider

I was just walking past the building. Then I saw a huge spider building a huge web. Every one was screaming. Then I became huge and then I was green with huge muscles - I was the hulk. I crushed the web and chucked it at the spider and it fell over. I picked it up and lobbed it at the end of the street and it got back up and it ran to me and got knocked to the end of the street and it ran for me again but I grabbed its leg and snapped. Then it dissappeared into thin air.

I stared at the creature as still as a statue not daring to move. I knew that his long legs and heavy body was no match for my week legs and fragile body.The sky was dark and the moon shone upon me. It was then when I heard a voice calling my name. I looked up but all I could see was the fogy sky surrounding the dim stars. I knew no one could help now. The creature looked like a spider yet this one did a lot more than crawl on your hand. I heard the voice again. It said "Don't fear, I will be with you soon." Suddenly the creature jumped. Tonight was the night,the end of all nights...

Mum, mum, mum, why? Why did mum send me to this boarding school? At the sight of it I felt like throwing up. The walls were covered in green, moldy ivy and the brown, mud coloured bricks were falling out already and it was only built last year... and the spider, the huge, giant spider, it seemed to be following me. In my old school there was an enormous spider picture just like the one here. Does it haunt me? Why? The inside of the boarding school is worse than the outside. Much worse. Again, the spider's here again ; why is it everywhere I go?

She dived to save myself. Her heart was pounding,
They screamed with fright and ran again, it had found them.

Annabel picked up a stone and chucked it at it's leg
It fell with terror, Letitia scrambled away from the
outrageous animal.
The girls ran out of it's sight behind the dustbin.
A girl grabbed us as we were sitting down
she pulled us into a door that we had not

I walked through the damp, humid forest. I couldn't see properly. The screaming seemed to get louder and louder. My heart was beating faster. I made sure that I stayed silent. It looked like a pot and legs. I must be dreaming I thought and pinched myself. No it wasn't a dream. The mighty legs were moving vigorously. The face on the pot like head was crying. Suddenly, it froze. Where ever I moved, the eyes followed. I knew that I couldn't stay here any longer. I ran, I ran faster than I had in my whole life. I didn't turn back. The screaming was catching up with me. Where could I go...?

I was enjoying the tropical rain forest, until the ridiculous human beings with silly hats on, came and took me to this dump hole. So now, everyone that passes by will have their legs struck from their bodies to my head; it looks quite fancy actually. But sooner or later I will start to reek and the people who visit will complain about the preposterous stench, and that will get me shifted back to the glorious place I used to live in.
Here's someone now - no I cant do it they're two young boys I don't want to be that harsh.

My heart raced I could see a tent not so far away. It seemed to sway gently in the wind. I could hear soft music. It seemed to be coming from a tall, old, rotten mansion opposite our house. Bats and birds flew out the hole in the roof. And the floor boards creaked that loud, you could hear it clear from the kitchen in my house with the T.V on full blast.

I decided to go and investigate the tent. BAAAAAAM the tent shot into the air someone fell out I ran. It was the man who lived in the mansion ...

Skool Rules

Sam was no ordinary girl she just didn't know when to shut up! She was always complaining about rules in school. There was aura of menace about her even at a distance; when she came close you could almost the dangerous heat radiating from her as from a red-hot rod of metal. When we were playing football, she just starts to swear about rules. Her Mum doesn't know whats she like because she sometimes doesn't come home.

Skool Rules - Danielle

Sam wasn't the 11 year old you would expect'. She isn't perfect she cant do everything what you can do, she tries to hold her anger in but that is hard for her. Sadly, she would sometimes sit on her own in the corner of the play ground. Her poor friends try to stop her from doing the wrong, but it doesn't work. Her friends and family wish she was just like them but how? She was a good friend but her naughtiness ruins it. The words come out when she didn't think before she spoke. It is sad for Sam and her family and friend's . She would uasally take her anger out on a wall and sometimes swear this was horrifying to see, her teachers never wanted to shout at her in case she hurt them she would always have a teacher by her side when working. When she dosnt get her on way she will go in a strop. Sam was a girl who did the wrong thing!

school rules callum

Sam is a girl aged 11 who always is having times outs, she talks to her self and gobs off also she swears when she gets a warning.

At play times she always ends up on the wall because when shes not on the wall she always hurts someone or annoys them, when shes on the wall she gets angry like a bull seeing red!

She has red hair, untied shoo laces, ripped pants and ripped jumper. All the teachers think she is a disgrace!

Day out at Pleasure Beach

I can remember the first time my mum took us to the Pleasure Beach it was during the Summer holidays last year. I couldn't believe how big it was and all the rides looked very exciting. The music seemed to come from lots of different rides. I was very excited to go on the Avalanche it was a fast and very quick ride, I enjoyed it that much we went on it three times. The scariest ride was the Big one pepsi max. I went on with my mum and remember sitting in the carriage, my mum said "hold on tight" as we were traveling up then it suddenly turned quickly lots of people screaming, all I can remember is gripping on the bar for my life, when it had finished I was still holding onto the bar, when we were told it had finished, my legs were shaking and when I saw the exit I darted down the stairs in no time. I can say I experienced it but am sure it will be quite some time before I go on again. callum

It was a hot sizzling day in Blackpool but weirdly enough I was sat in my room playing on my blue DSi. Suddenly I heard a unusual noise coming from the other room. It was my sisters room. I sprinted quickly to her room and could not believe what I saw... On her bed was an adorable, cuddly puppy. It quickly ran to me in excitement, I didn't know why. I asked my sister, "where did you get this puppy from?" and she said "I found it on my bed this morning". I didn't believe her and walked out of her room slowly in doubt. 105 words! :D

My family and I were sat in the front room talking about our day, when we heard the most magnificent sound. It was like we were in heaven. The music seemed to be coming from next door; we decided to investigate and go next door to ask our neighbour about the sound. She said that she had heard the same sound as us but thought it was coming from our house. This intreged us all and we all wanted to know where the sound came from. We followed the sound to the end of the garden wall where we discovered a crack which was hollow inside. My dad went and got his hammer from the garden shed and knocked a bigger hole in the wall. We all stood watching as the sound got louder and louder. Eventually my dad pulled out of the hole time capsule. My dad took it to the house and placed it on the kitchen table. All the faces where staring at the capsule in amazement when eventually my mum opened it. Inside was very old toys and clothes. These looked like they were very old and toys that were made by hand. Also inside was a beautiful music box, this was what was making the amazing sound.

The music seemed to come from inside the little door. I didn’t know who was playing it. I tiptoed out of my bed to listen. The music was wonderful. It made me feel as though I was in paradise. It seemed to me that the person was playing a violin. Suddenly, the music stopped, I thought it was just pausing so I waited for it to carry on. But there was no response. I opened the brown, wooden door. There was something glowing and sparkling. I saw something move, and then it vanished. It was never seen or heard again…

I crept slowly to what the strange water noise was, I peeked through the bushes and saw a baby Elephant just sat there like a rock not moving. Water bellowed down on its back it looked very upset like it had been separated so I decided to tip toe towards it (cautiously) but all of a sudden it started to charge. I hesitated but then burst into a sprint. It thumped after me, I ran into the bushes, hoping that I would lose it. Consequently I tripped over a vine, like it was grabbing me. What should I do?

Suddenly...It started to rain. All the animals went back home but one. It was a tiny elephant who was lost and did not know where to go. It had once been in a zoo and was tormented so it ran away. One day in the zoo there was a parade and the elephant was in it and that is how it ran away. Everybody knew what was going to happen because they could see by all of the signs that he was making. But now it has stopped raining and the elephant was playing under a waterfall.

I was laughing my socks off! The elephant was getting a shower! That was something you do NOT see every day! Was this a joke? Aah, this was a good day. I took out my phone and recorded it, I had to show my friends. Then, suddenly, Peanut (the elephant) got really scared and ran away. I ran after her as fast as I could, but she was gone. Two days later, I looked at the video and saw a black figure wave at her! It was a ghost! I went back there with my mum and dad and they thought I was crazy. Maybe they were right. Then I found a hook on the floor, this was very frightening!

Before I could even touch the door handle the door darted open! and suddenly the path behind me started to disappear,this place is spooky I thought to myself. I realised this is a candy house! the chairs are made of chocolate,the windows are stripy candy canes and what looks like sugared glass panes. The fridge is actually made of ice cream! I went upstairs after eating some chair,window and some fridge LOL. I went into a bedroom and the clear plastic water bed,was filled with fizzy orange pop and had a giant straw sticking out between two selection box pillows,it also had a candy floss blanket. Oh I was in heaven I thought to myself or was it just a fantastic dream!

As the elephant was stud under the water the Lion approached from the dark. The Lion slowly strolled up to the vulnerable Elephant. The elephant turned around and hit the Lion with its trunk. The Lion bit the Elephant on the end of the nose. Who will die?

Oscar Romero

Oscar Romero was born 1917-1980 in El Salvador in central America. He became a priest in 1942 and became a Archbishop in 1977. He was aware that the wealth of the country was in the hands of a small number of families. Archbishop Romero came to see that the law of the land was unjust and evil. He saw no reason to obey these laws. Even though public meetings were forbidden, he encouraged public to do so. He demanded explanation from the government about murder of certain priests. He called on church leaders to become the voice of the poor. He said:"The world that the church must serve is the world of the poor."It was very clear to all that he was on the side off the poor and those suffering injustice. He allowed a radio station to be set up in the office of the cathedral, which would broadcast the injustice of the government and the powerful wealthy class. When it was Sunday mass, Oscar Romero was murdered in march 1980 by a bullet.

Martin Luther King: By Kieran & Joe

Martin Luther King was a brilliant man, he was an inspiration to millions of people and changed the world for the better. He was born on the 15th January 1929-and died April 4th 1968.

He was a black Baptist minister and was a voice for all the black people in America who were being treated really badly. Because he was Christian, he did not just think about his work for helping millions of people, but he did it for god too. Lots of people, including himself, believed in him as he lead the civil rights movement. He died for what he believed in, and his only dream was to make this a better world. Since then, racism has gone down, but still people of all races are being discriminated against. We all have to work hard and stop this once and for all!

I was walking deep into a hot dessert, searching for some cool water, when I heard the sound of a person singing and water splashing against the floor.

I peered around the corner and saw a beautiful baby elephant being washed by her mother. She was led under a small water fall. The scene was beautiful, as the sun set down, behind the trees, and the water cascading down the flower ramp.

My mouth watered as drips of water fell from the elephants tummy. I walked over and slowly lead in the water. It was very refreshing. COOL WATER.

100 word challenge - Meghan

I was exploring threw the forest when I stumbled across something very unsuspecting. It was a African elephant having a refreshing shower under the wonderful waterfall. I stayed there and watched it for almost an hour. Then I diseded to go but when I got up the elephant spotted me and I started to run. It ran after me. My heart was pumping when suddenly, I fell but the elephant stopped to. It looked at me with its brown beady eyes and picked me up and put me on his hairy back. It felt like I was dreaming but I pinched myself and I wasn't.

100 Words Challenge !!!!!

The crystal water was so clear you could see the bottom of the ocean it looked like tap water !! As we sailed on the glass bottom boat you could see all the fishes below there was flashes of bright colour swimming by that reminded me of a summers day rainbow. The sky above was pale blue and the clouds reminded me of cotton wool balls. The coral reef looked like coloured rocks they were so beautiful i couldn't take my eyes off them. As we sailed home the sun set low and it looked like the sun was on fire. By Mollie.S

connors-homework

The small elephant was beneath the warm rocks hiding away from the sizzling hot sun.The elephant explodes water out of his long trunk cooling down the elephant. He could sense the taste of water pouring down his ear. The refreshing water is splosh splashing over him.It tickles him and feels nice,he looks like he is laughing.He is snorting the water through his trunk in joy.The water was ruffly going down his throat as if he was having a steaming hot shower.It looks like he is enjoying it because he has got a very happy face on him.He is sitting on the soggy sand coloured floor peacefully and very relaxed . It looks like he is all alone but he is not lonely. This looks like it is the elephants perfect place to be.The elephant is big and powerful but looks quite small and gentle.I suggest this is the perfect way for a hot heavy elephant to spend the day.

100 word challenge Rachel

As I was exploring in the jungle, I found this enormous elephant having a lovely shower. It was such a stunning thing to see from a far. It was about 50c and I was sweating like a pig but I couldn't let it smell me or it would charge at me. I waited day and night just for the elephant to move but it didn't move a muscle and it didn't need to because another elephant brought him food. I was running out of options but really needed to know what was in the deep, dark cave.

Megan.F's 100WC

I was upset mum told me that we were moving, I didn't want to move I had loads of friends hear . I thought to myself that I should go to waterfall one more time before I go. It was my favorite place to go as a child . As I was walking a tear trickled down my face and I fell to my knees but as I did I saw the elephant, it looked like he was having a bath, I couldn't move but i didn't know why was it because I was to scared that it mite charge at me or was it because it was beautifully amazing? I slowly moved backwards hoping that it wouldn't see me then i ran home and told my mum what I saw but she didn't believe me.

Supriya 100 word challenge Wk3

I moved through the brown sand. I was hungry and thirsty but no one was around. Trees and plants were painted before me, but nothing to live on. There was a black spot, I could see life. There was something moving, it was an animal. There was a waterfall and the unknown animal was sitting under it. As I shuffled forwards I could see what it was, it was a beautiful, grey elephant. I trudged towards the pure water. The elephant watched, I could see home. My heart was beating; I was filled with power… My life was restored again!

My favourite book, Supriya

One of my favourite books are A Series of Unfortunate Events. It's not actually one book, there are lots of different series, 1-13. I have not finished all the books yet, but I think they are really good.

The books are about three siblings named Violet, Klaus, Sunny. They were at the beach whan thay recieve terrible news from their friend Mr Poe that their father and mother had died in a fire. Count Olaf was a mean man who pretended to be the siblings relative so Mr Poe hands them over to him. The three siblings had a massive fortune and Count Olaf was planning to kill them for the fortune.

Each book is about the different people who looks after them and how Count Olaf follows. I really like these books and I can not wait till I read the last one.
Whats your favourite book??

Mollie.T -100 Word Challenge

The crystal water was so clear I could see the bottom of the ocean. I could see the clustered stones lie beneath the rough sand. So I stepped in the warm tense water and lead back. Then all of a sudden gushing waves pulled me away from the beach edge. Then my head started to sink beneath the surface, then the waves stopped and I stood up the in the water it was quite shallow, and I could smell the salty air. As I was walking over to my parents I realized they weren't there. I panicked. Where were they?

I was almost there. It was only 10 minutes away; I could see it but only just. Finally, I was there - at the ocean. No one was looking. Maybe, just maybe, I could do it.

100 word challenge - Megan F

As I looked over the beautiful Irish lake, in the the corner of my eye I spotted something dark and mysterious. I felt a pull underneath my skin and went closer. I saw it again. I ran. It was gone.
I went back and I looked in. The crystal water was so clear I could see the bottom of it and saw the fish darting around; it was like magic. Suddenly, something pushed me in and I fell in. It was magic that I could breathe! I swam down some more and I was following the fish. It was there the figure helped me.

The 100 word challenge - William

THE SEA SERPENT ATTACKS!

He loved the sand between his toes; he wished he could stay there all day. However, he had to get out to sea and catch some fish for his village, or they would starve. So he grabbed his net, jumped into his boat and set of. That day the crystal water was so clear you could see the bottom of the ocean.
When he got out to sea, he threw his net out into the water and pulled with all his might and tonnes of fish came pilling in and he knew that his father (the greatest fisherman in the whole village) would be proud of him.
Then something big caught his eye. It had long spinderly legs, massive claws dripping with green goo. It was a giant CRAB.

100 word challenge - Patrick and Owen

Vampire Diaries

I love Vampire Diaries because it is full of action, romance and drama, my favourite genres. I got into watching Vampire Diaries after I watched the film Twilight. Also because my friend told me about it and said that it was ‘Brill’. It’s about a teenage girl named Elena and how her boyfriend Stephan is a Vampire and so is his brother Damon. To make thing more complicated for Elena, Damon falls in love with her. At first it was because she looks exactly like their old ex love Katherine who is also a vampire. The vampire that turned Stephan and Damon many years ago. Katherine was believed to have been burn in a church over hundred years earlier. The truth comes out that actually Katherine had faked her own death and was actually alive. Due to her bad behaviour and selfishness Damon fell out of love with Katherine and fell in love with Elena for her kindness that brings out his humanity that he thought he had lost years ago when he turned into a vampire. Stephan is the good natured brother who cares deeply for the people around him, even his brother who kills people without feeling any remorse.
What complicates the story even more is that Elena finds out that she is Katherine’s doppelganger. A doppelganger is someone who looks exactly the same, it doesn’t mean they have the same personality though. This puts Elena in danger as the original vampire Klaus needs a doppelganger to break the curse of the vampire. This curse means vampires cannot go out in daylight. (Stephan and Damon can go out in daylight as they have special rings that protect them in sunlight). To break the curse Klaus must kill Elena, so Stephan and Damon are trying to protect her from Klaus finding out about her. The series is very addictive and I cannot wait to find out if Stephan and Damon are strong enough to protect Elena from a very powerful original vampire. I will have to keep watching the series to find out.

Preparation for st. kents got talent.

The Kids Got Talent At St. Kentigern's Primary School


Some of the children from St. Kentigern's school have started to prepare for the school talent show. They have been concentrating on what they are going to be doing. Some of them are singing and dancing and some of them are even doing cheer leading!

Many of the children that are joining in with the show are very excited because they don't know how the judges are going to chose the winner.

We went to a child in year six who is called Mollie she told us what she thought about St. Kent's got talent. “I think that St. Kent's got talent is a really good idea because children get to show the school what there talent is and also have a way of letting there inner self out."
We also went to Mrs Irvin (year six teacher) She told us that she thought that this event is a wonderful opportunity for the stars of the school to showcase all their wonderful talents.

Why are earthquakes so destructive?

Earthquakes are one of the most destructive forces on earth. These are some of the countries that are most likely to be hit.

West Coast USA

Japan

New Zealand

The earths crust is divided into enormous slabs of rock called tectonic plates. It is because of these that the continents have their shape. When the tectonic plates collide it causes an earthquake. Scientists have created a type of instrument that can actually record an earthquake. This is called a seismometer.

Earthquakes usually last up to a minute. However, some of the most destructive have lasted up to four minutes long. An earthquakes destructive process can destroy whole buildings, cars, bridges, houses and even take lives.

A winter's day at the park

As I was walking to the park with my family, my feet felt like they were about to drop off. The only reason we were going to the park was because every day of our holiday we had been stuck in and today my mum finally decided to get us out of the house. All the way there, I could feel the ice cold wind rushed around me like a tornado.

When we reached the park, the trees had long icicles hanging off them, just like claws ready to reach out and grab you. My brother and I raced to the play area. I slipped. I laughed and got back up before running to catch him.

When we were on the park we played on everything; it was the most fun I’d had in ages. Me and my sister ran straight to the slippy silver slide and went down it at least ten times or more. From the top of the slide I could see the grass was not grass, it was like a blanket of frost with three clawed footprints leading to a fallen nest.

Eventually, Lucy-Leigh moaned that she was starving to death so mum gave in and decided to start walking back. It was so cold it was like I had just been sat in a freezer for an hour. My lips, fingertips and nose had begun to turn as blue as the shimmering lake.

When we arrived at the front door we were greeted by the dog licking us and the warmth of the radiator reaching our freezing skin.

KISSING FOR THE CAMERAS

Prairie dogs were seen kissing for the cameras at an American zoo.

Two Prairie dogs were caught kissing for the public in St Louses zoo because they wanted to show off. It was a hit with the public and the most interesting thing of the day. The two Prairie dogs affections were noticed to show more affectionate  behavior they knew they were being watched. There were 26 other animals were also kissing and hugging but the two Prairie dogs were the most popular.

The Prairie dogs are normally living in the grassland but they are endangered and live in a zoo.

The American zoo are going to be very happy in the future, when they have baby prairie dogs. 

Xbox Kinect

The Xbox Kinect is a whole new way of playing because on this console, you are the controller. Some of the games are unbelievably mindblowing, including kinectimals, kinect joy ride and kinect sports.

The Kinect is a small box which only costs £149 but it takes up a lot of space so you might need a big house.

The estimated price was originally a huge £500 million but ended up at the bargain price of £149!

Kinect Adventures

The Kinect Adventures are like party games, the games that are included are the river rush and rallyball. So I think this game is for lots of players.

Kinect sports

Kinect sports is the equivalent of wii sports, it has lots of fun games including bowling, football, volleyball and tennis.

Recycle, Recycle and more Recycling

On Friday 18th February years 5/6 went on a trip to the Global Renewable site in Leyland to learn about how to save our environment. After a guided tour around the building year 5 went to do some experiments while year 6 had some fun with the games to understand more about Recycling.

Year 5 learnt a lot about micro organisms and did a very interesting experiment to understand a bit more about bacteria. They had a very long talk with their guide and saw some pictures of micro organisms to see what it was like.

Later on in the afternoon it was year 5’s turn to have some fun. They had a long tour around the building looking at the rubbish going through all the machines. On their way they stopped to have a little talk about the 3 R’s; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. They also did some experiments with magnets to have a brief idea of what the machines do.

In an interview with a girl from year 6 named Supriya she said, “It was really fun going to the global renewable site. I liked going through the walkway looking at all the rubbish and the machines, although it was a bit smelly! I also liked it when our rubbish was weighed on the Green Hand Machine. I liked playing the games. My favourite game was putting the pie pieces together. Our class had a long talk about rubbish with one of the guides. It was very interesting.”

Soon it was time for them to go back to school. They had really good fun finding out about recycling. Years 5 and 6 have now promised to follow the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Children all across England are preparing for SATs. Government want children to achieve as many level 4's as possible. Teachers say that they just want their children to reach their full potential.

SATs will start on the 9th of May and it will go on for 4 days. Children are hoping that they will get level 5's and they are nervous and excited at the same time. A group of children said that they are targeting for level 4's but they would be even happier if they got level 5's.

So what do you think about SATs - good thing or bad?

Fifa 11 Ps3 Game review

Fifa 11 Ps3 Game review

Fifa 11 is the most recent football game from EA Sports. It has got plenty of features like career mode and Online mode. In career mode, you’re your own manager, Player and Player manager you can buy and sell players who you sign up for. Online mode allows you to have Interactive World cup Football matches and ‘Play a Friend’ matches. All gamers have a rank and every time you win you earn points to improve your profile.

The game can be played at different levels of difficulty: amateur, semi-pro, professional, world class and legendary. This ensures that the game stays interesting and all the family can play.

In my opinion, it is a game that you must have if you’re interested in football and have always dreamed of being a football manager.

Our trip to the Global Renewables Plant

Half term homework

As just discussed in class, your half term homework is as follows:

1. Think about the games you played today. They were all fun and taught you something about the 3Rs or the environment. Can you design and make one of your own? Remember, it can be a twist on a game you already play at home.
2. Write a blog post about today's trip. You could: say what you learnt; describe what we did; explain how you are going to put the 3Rs into practise at home or say why more people need to know about how to reduce, reuse and recycle.
3. Spend some time working on your revision books!

Here are some links to help you with your homework:
