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.

World Book Day
Kent's goes mad with books
Children of St.Kentigern's have shown their inner person, by exploring the world of books, and have experienced many of new chapters in life using books.
The children from St. Kentigern's celebrated the wonderful imaginary world that is ........... BOOKS!!!
As the kids ran wild in pretty pink tu-tus and Spider man costumes holding their favorite book, things just started too get a little too wild, when we had the whole of Alice and wonderland cast as ......the teachers! With Mr Willis dressed as mad hatter and Miss Stocks dressed as Alice and Mrs Irvin dressed as the rabbit.
Later we had the children judged based on effort of their costumes.
Winners:
YR-Luke as Mr Happy
Y1-Megan as Dora
Y2-Erin as Little red
y3-Nicolas as tin man
Y4-Giuseppe as Where's Wally
Y5-Caitlin as Roofus Skulpskin O'Parsly
Y6-Lauren as The white witch from Narnia.
As all the kids ran wild Annabel Slater was here to answer my question. The question was: 'What was it like to experience the wonderful history of books?' She replied “It was magical and had a big impact on my education, but some books weren't as good as others”. Then Supriya and Adona explained her costume (Minnie mouse) had inspired them since they were little.
The magical day was like being in Disney land. It gave the children an opportunity to have the light shine on them, and show what they really are like.
We are proud to have them at our school.

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.
4/5
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.
