Our school trip

On Monday 26th October 2008, we visited a gallery in the DIFC building called Holy Lands.We spent the morning in class, then when the coach arrived we settled down into them.It took about 20 minutes to get there. When we got there, two supervisers told us what the gallery was about. They explained to us that it was about photos from hundreads of years ago. The two supervisers names were Sonia and Tena. They gave us a booklet that we could fill in. All the answers were in the photos or writing around the gallery.The floor in the gallery was sand.We spent 1 hour in the gallery, then it was time to go back to school. I thought it was a wonderful trip and great organisation. Thank You Mr.O'Neill!!

Paul Klee

I have been looking all night for facts about Paul Klee and when i went on to wikipedia i found out that he was very famous. I then looked at images and i saw lots of beautiful paintings. He had put in so much detail in the most boring pictures. Some of his paintings were really cool like the one which looks like he had put random circles in different places with different colours. His nationality was German and Swiss. He was born on the 18 december 1879 and he died on the 29 June 1940 (aged 60.)

Bread Making

We have been discussing how yeast works...

• Warmth is needed so that yeast cells can grow and multiply. This is why we add warm water. NB Boiling water kills yeast cells!


• The yeast needs feeding to grow, so we add sugar to the recipe.


• The dough needs to become elastic so that it will stretch and rise when the yeast begins to ferment. This is why we knead the bread.


• We need to give the yeast time to do its work and to produce carbon dioxide gas which raises the dough.


• A flour improver may be used to speed it up such as - Ascorbic Acid.

THE GREEKS & 5KON

How would you have behaved if you had lived in ancient Sparta? (Lie, cheat, steal, because that is the Sparta way!) Or in ancient Athens? Or in Corinth, Argos or Megara? The ancient Greeks were very proud of their city-state! They were also proud of being Greek. The ancient Greeks were thinkers. They loved to talk. They honored their gods and respected honor. They loved beauty, music, literature, drama, philosophy, politics and art.
Come meet the Greeks! We think you'll be impressed!

We really want our classroom to come alive during our next theme.

Can you help?
Have you any books on The Ancient Greeks?
Any Greek artwork?
Photography?
Artefacts?
Posters?
Crafts?
Get permission first - but please bring to the class what you can.
I want each lesson to feel like we have made a journey back in time!
