Day trip to Firgas and Arucas

Yesterday we went to Firgas for our school outing followed by a quick stop in Arucas for lunch. It was a very interesting day with lots to do even if the rain tried to spoil our plans.

We went to an old corn mill which has been completely renovated and houses a museum showing how 'Gofio' was made in the past compared to how it is being made today.

Next we went into Firgas to complete two more activities - sketching the coat of arms for different districts in Gran Canaria followed by an excellent exploring hunt discovering information about the 7 islands of the Canaries.

Myst V - Our Trailers

• Persuasive Writing
• Creating
• Team Work
• Individual speaking

Keeping in mind all the skills I have mentioned we have used it to create these fantastic trailers for publicising the game. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did making them.

All the trailers can be found here or by pressing the more key after the first video has finished then the fwd key.

Spelling City helps you learn your spellings

With Spellingcity you can practise your spellings anytime you want online. It is almost like having your own teacher helping you learn your spelling words. 

You type the words in the box provided or if you have lots of spelling words to learn you can type them in as a list seperating each with a comma.

Once you have finished you can be tested, taught the words or even play one of the many spelling games available on the site.

Have fun.
