Writer's Studio

Hello and welcome to Briana's Blog for all you blog readers.

Today for our pattern workshops I did Writer's Studio. Last week we went out into town and stalked people well not stalked but spying in a nice way :)

We had to be really silent otherwise Nicola would send us out.

Here is some of my story.           

 Parents 

Parents are always obsesed with their children not wanting to do something or saying they can't do something. But when you bribe your children with a 10kg bag of chocolate or something like sweets, they always do it so the parents know that they are lying.

They are constantly on about work doing everything they can to help themselves, not anyone else, especialy if your Dad is like mine and every time he gets home, he is always, always on and on about work, so before you know it, all you hear is... 'EWUIRWGBIWUYGfYUEWF.' 

Hi

 Today we learnt a new song called 

'Some Things Are Meant To Be' from the well know story called 'Little Woman'. Here is a bit of  the song and the link.

Let's pretend we're riding on a kite.

 Let's imagine we're flying through the air.

We'll ascend until we're out of out of sight. Light as paper we'll soar.

Let's be wild up above the sand feel the wind the world at our command.

 Let's enjoy the view, and never land.

This song is about two sisters and one is dying, and she is trying to tell the other sister that she has to go.

   Calligraphy Writing.

Do you know what Calligraphy writing is because I do!!!!

Today we did Calligraphy Writing. Calligraphy Writing is the swirly and twirly writing used in the olden days when your parents were kids. We started out with a practice sheet and then we had to write our names, friends, address and things like that. Next after you had finished you could grab a bit of card and the write on it in calligraphy and  you could either do a picture with calligraphy, a picture with a saying around it or a wordal which is a box of words on all different angles. 

Bye,  See You Next Term.

Do you know what clouds mean and what their names are??? 

Because I can tell you all you need about them!! Today we made Cloud Finders. Cloud Finders are little circle discs with a split pins in the middle and when you spin the cloud finder it shows you different type's of clouds, shows you what they look like and tell you what they mean.

I will show you my one and also tell you some type's of clouds and tell you what they mean. 

Stratocumulus

Dark, heavy water-droplet clouds at low or lower-middle heights.Rain or snow very likely.

Stratus 

Flat layer of low clouds. Light rain,drizzle, or flurries likely, overcast skies at best.

Cirrus

High wispy ice clouds. Often seen in clear skies and mean good weather, but can mean a change in the weather!

Hello blog readers !!!!


"Dry-Ice Today!" said Katie as we walked outside.

Today we did dry-ice with Katie.
Guess how cold it is. -80 degrees celcius !
This is an experiment not just fun!
1. Put warm or cold water in a cup.
2. Add food colouring (any colour.)
3. Add dry-ice.
4. Put dish-washing liquid into the mixture.
5. Watch the dry-ice bubble.

See you next time!
Bye!

Spatial And Psychological Drama !!!!! ( not games !! )

Today we did something that was NOT games it was

SPATIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA.

Spatial Drama

Spatial Drama is something where there is a person who calls out an object and in your groups you have to make that object in 10 or under 10 seconds.
 This is called "10 Second Objects "

Psychological Drama

Psychological Drama is where you have to go into a circle and close your eyes and Nicola goes round and taps one and only one person on the shoulder and then you open your eyes and then you have to guess who got tapped on the shoulder and then at the end the person that got tapped on the shoulder has to put their hand up.
This is called "Only One Lair"

If you're wondering what a Monologue is, it is a speech like play but it's a one person job. I have done one called Protecto and it's about a kid trying to be a super hero.

Here is the 1st verse of the monologue "Protecto"

"I've always dreamed of being a hero. I've tried everything to become super. I let a spider bite me .. no spider powers, just lots of icthing. 

I tried standing close to the microwave oven hoping that the radiation will change me. Nothing. And I got in trouble for making too many bags of popcorn but I took them and had a popcorn party. I was a hero that day. So I guess it kinda worked."
