Sammy V.

Last week we had a Duffy assembly which starred Sam Verlinden. Like any other Duffy assembly, he came to talk to us about why reading is important, but it came with a twist. He talked about how he wanted to impress a girl, Hannah, but Noah would always one up him. That's when he realised he should sing her a song, so he read books which helped him with lyrics. The way he told the story drew students in and also cracked us up.

Shortly after that he showed us a clip of people dancing to his song, Jumble. Everyone was captivated.

I was surprised to find out that he was majoring in  music. He was our first guest to choose a different career besides being an athlete and author.

Tick Tock For The Clock

We have finally started working on creating our clocks!

First we started off with drawing an 80mm by 80mm square on a piece of card. Next we had to draw our design around it. That is going to be the back. Many of us were going to trace our design but it was too small so we had to draw it bigger.

Thirdly, we had to cut out the outline and the square. Then we were to trace our outline onto another piece of paper and cut it out. That is going to be our front.

After cutting out that one we had to draw two 40mm by 80mm rectangles. We had to cut them out and fold them in thirds. We then glued the front piece to the back piece using the two rectangles.

Unfortunately I'm still stuck on tracing my design around the square so hopefully this week I can move on quickly.
