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 - Online Soccer Manager

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.

Week 6

                                                           Gym

This week in gym we had kind of gymnastics. There was 5 different stations. The stations were jumping, balancing, swinging with ropes, rings and jumping from "plint to" plint". It was a very fun lesson but there was a lot of people that were talking. The average rating in the class on the lesson was 4.31 but we think that it should have been lower.

                                                Kobe Meat

Kobe meat is the worlds most expensive meat. To be able to be called Kobe meat it has to come from a Japanese steer of the black Tajima-gu breed. The age should be in between 28 to 60 months old to harvest but the average age is 30 to 32 months. In the Japanese farms they treat these cows like kings. The meat comes from the back of the cow. There is a strict protocol that the cow has to pass to be aloud to be called Kobe meat, only 3000 pass every year. This meat has just come to Sweden in a restaurant AG in kungsholmen. It most 2000-5000 kr per kilo, at the restaurant they serve 200 grams of Kobe meat for 1895 kr.

                                                              AVERAGE RATINGS

This week we started working with averages. At the end of every lesson we would rate how good the learning and working environment was. Every student would get a yellow sticky note where we would rate the lesson between 1-5. We would find the average of the lesson by adding all the rates together and then dividing it by the number of students who voted. Then after we have rated every lesson by the learning and working environment we would add all the lessons together and get an average of the day.

  This week we voted on where we want to go on our class trip in 6th grade. Alex's mum came to our class to talk to us about the options we could vote on. We had two options and they were Gotland and Kloten. In Kloten it is like an outdoor obstacle course. Gotland was similar but we would do other things as well like, go swimming, hiking and some indoor activity.

Countdown

Soon it's Christmas. It's four days until Christmas holiday and 12 days till Christmas!

Some of us stay here for Christmas and others go to an other country for Christmas and some go other places. Christmas is a holiday where you get presents from Santa who is a guy that lives in the North Pole and gives presents to everyone in the world that has been nice.

                             Hour of code

On this Thursday we were in a big project called code. Last year over 15 million kids were with in project this year more kids were with. Hour code / code is a game about programming games it is quite a challenge. Programming is about putting commands for your caricature to move or do other things. There is different commands and ways to shorten commands for for example like the du over so if there is a spiral and you don't want to take so any commands then you put three or two commands. Then you walk straight forward and then you turn and then it repeats it self in till you reach the goal.

             Patrik's house!

          By Stella and Jennifer 

This week Patrik's house got drowned by  his broken water pipe. His family maybe has to change the floor and walls because it was wet. He could not come to school because he had to wait for the pipe fixer and plumber, that is expensive!!! Next day he came back to school and told us about what happened,      He had to leave early at 2:00pm. 

Art and crafts day 

This week on both Thursday and on Friday we did arts and crafts. One of the things you could do was go down to woodwork and make a mini santa, they became very nice and are now on a few people's tables. Another thing you could do was to go down to sewing and make decorations for the Christmas tree. If you were in the classroom you could make small gingerbread houses (it wasent real gingerbread) and cards.
