We listened to Gustav Holst Neptune and drew what we felt or imagined.
The dark part made me think of a cave and the ahh part made me think of heaven. Matthew
I thought about the different animals, that might live on Neptune. Ellis

Pakes at the London Mini Marathon
In Computing we have been learning about how music makes us feel. We listened to some of the Planets Music by Gustav Holst and could describe how it makes us feel.
Jupiter we felt, relaxed, joyful, refreshed, dramatic and thundery, it was loud and peaceful and made us want to dance.
I liked Venus because it was calm and gentle. Esme
I didn't like Mars because it was deep and dark. Theodora
I like Jupiter and Mars because it was dramatic. Alice
I didn’t like Jupiter because it was very electric and loud. Ronnie
I liked Jupiter because the music was relaxing and I like more dramatic music. Jemma
In Computing this first spring term, we are learning how to program. We have to describe a series of instructions as a sequence, explain what happens when we change the order of instructions and use logical reasoning to predict the outcome of a program.
In Computing we have been using different technology to photograph objects around school, and of our friends. We used a program called Photostory 3 to add our images to create a video called me and my friends.
