Copped Hall Gardens

Copped Hall

On Thursday we went to Copped Hall it was

Really fun. First we went to a room to put all the things down so we got to go outside and looked at the garden but we noticed that both sides of the garden are symmetrical and it was really cool.

Next we went back inside the room and we had breaktime and ran around a little garden.After we came in the room a guide took us around the rooms and the first room we went in was the entrance and it was decorated beautifully.

The next room that we went in was the servants' room where they stayed, and when a bell rang it had a word of the room under it, the bell was above the fireplace.After that room we got to look at the bedrooms and it was a little bit weird but the bed had three mattresses the bottom was made of horsehair the second one was made of cotton and the top one was made out of feathers.But it was really big.

After the bedrooms we went to the basements and the stables and the kitchen. The basements were dark and a bit scary. After the basement we went to the kitchen. It was really really cool there were different objects called a pestle and router and other ones.finally we got to go to the stables they were really cool.

Olympic Art Glazing

Making Clay Tiles

Equipment

Clay
Glaze
As many paint brushes as colours of glazes
6 rulers
A cutting tool
A piece of fabric
Table
Water
Rolling pin
A drawing stick

Method

Soak your piece of fabric in water and then lay it out on a table. After, put your clay on it.

Put three rulers on either side of the clay.

Put one side of the rolling pin on one pile of rulers and the other side on the other pile. Roll your clay out like that and so you can fit a 15 x 15cm square on it.

Cut out a 15 x 15cm square.

Use your drawing stick to draw your design onto your clay tile.

Dry your tile by leaving it by a sunny window overnight.

Put in a kiln overnight.

Once out of the kiln, paint with glaze.

Put in the kiln overnight again.

Ragged School Copperfield Road

On Monday 22nd January we went to the Ragged School. The teacher Mrs Perkins was very strict (but acting). At the end of the lesson she showed us some of the punishments from Victorian times. The Dunce hat, back straightener and the fidget stopper.

Egyptian Plaster Casts

Visitor from Epping Forest District Museum

We had a visit from the lady from Epping Forest Museum to help us find out information for our topic on the Ancient Egyptians.

We looked inside a cardboard pyramid and had to work out if the egyptian things belonged to a man, woman, boy or girl. We looked at replicas of the things from ancient Egypt.

Different tables looked at different artifacts. The canopic jars were so good and realistic. You could open and close the canopic jars - luckily there was not anything inside!

In ancient Egypt there were still hair curlers and makeup tools. Another one of the tables had necklaces and jewelry. The necklace was made of clay and metal.

It was amazing.

Tag-Rugby at Upper Clapton

On Friday 22nd September Piercing class went to a tag- rugby tournament. We worked really hard. The A team came fifth in there group of twelve.

We had some warm ups, then lunch and then we got to play some matches. It was really fun. We worked so hard as a team but the the other teams were great too.

Emme and Rose

Last Friday we went to the Tag-Rugby tournament. There were lots of schools competing. The ‘B’ team got to the bronze medal match but sadly lost in extra time. It was a tough match. The other two teams did good too. We all enjoyed our trip to Upper Clapton RFC, it was very exciting and no-one wanted to go home.

Iris and Daisy

It was great fun and we learnt lots of new things. I learnt a new tactic, if two people are running towards you spin around them and it will be hard for them to tag you. I pretended to go one way but went the other and I scored a try. It was a very fun day.

Ralph

At tag - rugby there were 26 teams in total. You need two tags on a belt to play, You can only tag someone who has the ball and you shout tag. They must then pass the ball backwards which is very hard. The best part of the day was playing the games and coming fourth.
