This year we have Music, Sport, French, Library and Science. In science we have been learning about forces and the human body. In human bodies we cut up sheep brains and had to identify each part. The sheep’s brain was pretty small, about 10cm wide. It was pink, white and a bit of red. We had to cut it in the middle. The brain was squishy in some places and hard in others. Other than dissecting the brain we also studied what each part does. Like what part controls what. For forces we found about aerodynamics, friction, inertia and Newton’s laws. I know the first two and can’t remember the last one. This year in French my strengths are remembering the words. My weakness saying the words because I can’t say the words that well. I have learnt in the French language uses signs above the words. I also learnt that French food also has a bit of other countries food in it. We have done a poster about the food in a region of France. In Sport we have covered basketball and cricket. I’ve gotten slightly better at bowling and batting but I’m still pretty bad. I want to be able to out of 6 bowls hit 3 of them. In library we made a poster about our favourite book or series. I made mine about Artemis Fowl. We have to read 25 books and write them down on a sheet. So far I have read 17 books. Including 3 books which have counted as 2. In music this term we have learnt about orchestral instruments and what types they are. There are four types, percussion, string, woodwind and brass. In the last few weeks we made an instrument. I made a guitar.
