Week 7

ARN

In Swedish with Patrick we watched a series which  is called Arn. The series is played in the Middle Ages and is about a boy who died when he was young, but then his parents begged God to bring him back. Luckily he survived, but after a while his mom got a blood infection and died. Arn went to school in the church and he learnt how to fight, how to read and also how to write. He grew up there when he was old enough he got his own horse. He met a women called Cecilia and they fell in love, but then Cecilia's sister said that Arn had been with her too. So he got sent to "The Holy Land" to fight. Cecilia was sent to a church to work as a nun and the whole time Arn was gone she thought about him. Then a new women came to that church, and she was about to be the queen. She told Cecilia that Cecilia had a son called Magnus that she didn't know about. Arn came back after a couple of years and when he at last got to meet Cecilia then they weren't allowed to get married, but then some priest came and said that a miracle had happened because Arn had survived and then they got married. "Sverkarna" had the throne and Arn tried to get peace so "Sverkarna" and "Folkätten" went into war and "Folkätten" won but sadly Arn died from a sword cut.

                                                                15 Minutes Nouns

This week we did a investigation about an noun. We had 15 minuets to find fascinating information about a noun. We worked in pairs and  together we used the Internet to find interesting facts about a person place or thing. When the 15 minutes where up we had to do a short but interesting and informative presentation.

 Outdoor gym

Last Friday we had a cold outdoor gym. We warmed up by playing this Indian game. You run around tagging people while your saying kabadi until you loose you're breath. After that we were warmed up a lot we started playing the epic game rugby. We didn't play with dirty tackles we only played with easy tackles. There was one red team and a yellow team I was in the red team and it was really fun.        

Age limits on games

This week we talked about age limits on games. A lot of people think that violent games are bad and can affect how you act and think. The other people in the class disagreed and thought that video games could actually be good for you in small doses. The age limits on games are not always accurate and are higher or lower than they should be so that more people will buy them and they will get more money. Usually the games are rated higher because parents do not want there kids playing or seeing violent images.

Heart on schoolyard

Today everyone in the school went out to the school yard standing in a beautiful heart form which  was made by the willing teachers. Thomas, our epic music teacher, who used to be a athletic gym teacher was sitting on a comfortable wooden chair in the middle of the Giant  heart playing on his average accustic guitar. The people standing as the enormous heart were all singing Beatles great song "all you need is love". When we started singing we also held up basic red  paper's so the heart would look hot red. 

Saint valentine was a Roman Preist. When the Roman empire made marige a legal, but valentine countinued to secretly marry couples. That did not please the empire. So he had saint valentine thrown in to jail, and then got him beat. Before he was killed he wrote a note to a young girl who hade befriended him he asked her if she could remain faithfull to god he sined the note - From youre Valentine.

OSM is a game/app that you can download from the App Store and the Android Store. OSM is a football game where you pic a team and manage the team the way you want. A lot of boys in the class has started playing OSM and we have all joined the same league meaning that we will sometimes play against each other. You can name your stadium whatever you would like and you can upgrade the stadium with for example for fans = money, better grass, and bigger stadium. You can play one game per day at 20:30 although you do not play the match the game simulates it based on the tactics and stat points your team has. You can also play home and away games if you are home for a game all your players gain 3+ stat points and if you are away your team will lose -3 stat points.
