Guy Fawkes - By Colin Li

Every November people in England and New Zealand celebrate Guy Fawkes. On this day people remember the time when Guy Fawkes and his friends wanted to blow up the Parliament Building in England, with the king inside. Queen Elizabeth 1 made laws against the Catholic churches. The Catholic people wanted King James 1 to change the laws, but he didn’t. He even made more laws. A group of men plotted to put gunpowder under the Parliament Building and blow it up. Guy Fawkes was given the job to watch over the gunpowder and to light the fuse. In the meantime one of the men went and told the soldiers what they’ve planned. The soldiers caught Guy Fawkes and he was taken to the Tower Of London. After being tortured he came out of the truth, Guy Fawkes was then executed. The event is still remembered by fireworks and bonfires.

Interactive Drumming Performance

The presenters, Johnny and Lucy on the drums. 

 Who knew that drums could sound this good!!!!

On Monday 22nd August we had an interactive Drumming show at Everglade School.  The whole performance was entirely performed through mime as part of their signature theme "Action Speaks Louder than Words"  Each child was given an African styled hand drum that they used to participate in a highly energising, healthy, positive and very entertaining fun filled activity.

Look at us beating those drums!!!!!!!! 

Johnny was absolutely amazing!!!

Measurement - Weight games

Mass is a measure of how heavy something is. Scales can be used to measure mass.

Metric units of mass

Mass is measured in grams (g), kilograms (kg) and tonnes. These are known as metric units of mass.
1 kg = 1000 g
1 tonne = 1000 kg
Remember when estimating mass:

• 100g is about the mass of a small apple.
• 1 kg is the mass of a bag of sugar or a litre of water.

Do you know the correct answers?  Have a look at these weight games!!!
