Free? Want to go on a stupendous trip? By Amina (journalist).

 Breaking news! There is a NEW workshop on the HMS Belfast. The HMS Belfast is moored on the river Thames. It is for all ages. This workshop is called the ‘ Gun Turret Experience’.  It is absolutely brilliant and even better with a group of people. Come and visit this gigantic ship!  Time for an unforgettable moment in your life? This experience teaches you about life at sea.

    

Behind, there is Tower of London. So you might go there as an EXTRA treat!

Phil Reed, Director of HMS Belfast says: “The Gun Turret Experience gives visitors an exhilarating new perspective on life at sea and really enhances the ship’s historic surroundings. By immersing people in the sights and sounds of a naval battle we hope visitors will leave HMS Belfast with not only a greater knowledge of the Second World War but also a deeper understanding of its impact.”

So why wait? Come and visit!

Historical Massive Ship! By Sharon

HMS Belfast, one of London’s most magnificent attractions will open its latest visitor experience in July. The Gun Turret was active during  the Second World War and saved many British Forces.

It has played a commemorable and important part of British history and visitors can experience what it must have been like during the war with their very own eyes. This is an educational opportunity where you can learn all sorts of facts about life at sea past or present. You can discover the turret of Triple Guns as well as read the letter written by the sailor M-D Withers from The Battle Of The Cape.

Here are some quotes from people who have experienced the Gun Turret whilst the war was in action:

“Boxing Day we went to action stations (at 0900 seven o clock your time) and we remained at the guns for about 13 hours, we “relaxed” about 11o/c that night”.

With admission only £13.00 for adults and FREE for children under 16 (right bargain!) So when is it your turn to transform yourself into something new?

Year five! – by Faheema

Enjoyed

It has been a very friendly and polite year in year five. What I enjoyed about being in year5 five  is that when we corporate with each other and help each other with our work. I also enjoy when we do great blogging in year five and leave comments to peoples work to help them improve their work. I loved when the film crew came and filmed us while  we where working for the Doctor who project, it was fantastic.We were so excited when our new teacher Mr Sloan came to our school and was working with us through out the year.

Exciting events

 

The exciting events that I found through out the year were when we went to Cardiff to see the BBC and we went into the TARDIS in the real tardis can you believe that! There were more other exciting events that I found exciting like when we when to the canal museum to see all the Victorian buildings. We went to the emirates stadium to sing to at least more than 100 teachers they all were surprised at how well we sang. We also went to the science museum and we explored the place it was really exciting.

learned

 

What I learned about through out the year was about Doctor who and the BBC (we wrote scrips)Theuse and the monitor (we made sets for that), The piano (witch was really fun), Victroian times (we went on a trip to the canal museum), Space (we put planets on our classroom.

Year 5 by Salekar

Trips!

In ferry lane primary school,  me and my class went to brilliant trips like Cardiff and a Opera, when I found out we was going to go to cardif  I was excited and gobsmacked.Although I felt sick in the couch ,  I enjoyed  looking at the seven bridge. The best of our trip was when we went to see Docter Who  tardis . My next trip I went to is an Opera, we watched a story called the Elixer of  love. It was a love story in Italian, thanks to Mr Sloan our class teacher we went to these amazing trips.

Blogging!

My favourite subject is I.C.T because  me and my class get to do blogging  the best part of blogging is playing  games, leaving comments, writing stories, pretty much everything.Also some people from different from different country is  really interested with my class Passion of  blogging. So I think we are kind of famous, well not rich just like famous.

Learning!

In year 5 we have been learning  about lots of things like Elixir of  love , the highwayman and of course Doctor Who. For my opinion my favourite lesson was the highwayman because at  my old school called  welbourn primary school I learnt about the highwayman.We are reading a book called there is a boy in the girl bathroom.It is a funny, long, atractive  story. I think its the best story I have read. At  litercy I am not good at spelling. At  maths I am good at putting numbers in the boxes on my book.

 

What an amazing year, don’t you think ?

Now we come to the end of year5 , Yippee! we’re now going to year6 but it’s going to be stressful. I have learned loads of new and interesting things over the year which can help me next year in year6 , too bad we can’t go back on the old trips that we went to such as the Big Bang Fair, the Tardis but it was very difficult in year5. I enjoyed it in year5 and I hope it will be a bit more exciting in year 6 and did I tell you , Mr Sloan is still our teacher. Three cheers for year5 , hip hip HOORAY!

Lets go back to the first day of the year where we came into class and saw a old (not that old) man playing a piano. We were learning about a film called ‘ The Piano ‘ and we had to do loads of character descriptions and we had to write the story of the old man. I learned how to get into the man’s character and I needed to work on making sure it makes sense.

After the piano project , we entered Ancient Greece and we got to read the myths ( but not all of them). I learned that there are different kinds of gods in Ancient Greece such as Zeus god of the gods, Hera god of  love and  Poseidon god of the sea , and I also learnt that the capital of Greece is  Athens . There was a small island near Greece called Crete where King Minos keeps the  MINOTAUR!!  We created a mini film of  Theseus And The Minotaur and we had to make play scripts , sets, characters and photos.I learned how to write a myth into a interesting play script but I still needed to work on making sure it makes sense.

 On a un-expected morning a camera crew came in and on the blog was a Dr Who post. We sat down and Mr Sloan  said ” We are going to be writing a play script for Dr Who” .  Everyone was very elated but it was hard work , I’m telling you it is hard to write a Dr Who script.We had to learn about the characters, we needed to know there personality and there appearance.

The next day we had to learn about the setting in doctor who , some of them were spooky but some were amazing and gigantic. After that we had to learn about the monsters, that was the best subject out of all of them. First we acted out as weeping angels. They were statues of angels and when you blink or when you turn away from them, they will scare you to DEATH!! We also acted out the cybermen, the robots who were human, Dr who writers say that they were deleted by cybermen then they upgraded them into  cracking killing machines. After that week we had to write the whole play script in mini groups. My group was about an alien coming inside the tardis and they were trying to steal it , the doctor had to die then when he regenerated the wind from his body blew their fire hair off, ( which was there life sentence) and they blew up and flew away in space. The winning group from our class was Abshir’s group

We still had a fun time of learning Dr Who but we went to exciting trips and wonderful events. I think the Dr who trip was the best, we also went to another country , but it was a boring  way to the museum and it was a terrible way home. We were suppost to come home at 7 o’ clock but we come back at 9  o’ clock. At  St Fagan’s ( Museum of welsh life)  we entered a rich house from the sixteen hundreds and it was covered in red. Welsh citizens say that it was to show off  that they were rich and to keep away the dark evil spirits. Then we come to a village  filled with schools , homes , restaurants and churches. The school was very very different to our school, it was only one room with 10 benches each side and 1 desk for the teacher. They had to write on blackboards and they had to use a loud bell for when it’s home time. After when we saw the wonderful village we came inside a blacksmith’s  work area and he told us about life of being a black smith. It was very amazing to see what he had made past the years but some were made by other blacksmiths in different  years. Meanwhile we entered a small area for children to eat their lunches.

 We quickly ate our lunch and drove to BBC Wales waiting and waiting till they let us in.I was screaming in my mind and I saw posters of videos they act here such as Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures and Dr Who. We were greeted by 2 tour guides and they glided us to the attic of Sarah Jane. Everyone  ran to the attic and we saw Mr Smith opened and we played with the controls. Outside was the props used in the episode its self  ,  too bad her sonic  screwdriver wasn’t there , it would of been madness. I loved going to the attic because it was amazing to see Mr Smith in action.

After that we walked to a room filled with Doctor Who props, there were heads of monsters and they felt weird , I picked the pig monster’s nose and it was hilarious. We walked further in the studio and then we came to a stop. The tour guides tip toed up to the tardis and we followed them up to the Tardis door. The guides opened the door and there was the TARDIS. Everyone ran to the controls and played with them till the end of the trip. Happiness raised up and tears came out of children’s eyes. At the end we took a class photo and we said good bye to the tardis , and we drove back home.

There was a little bit of difficulties in year5 that I could’nt understand until I tried it myself. The Dr Who scripts were very hard and Mr Sloan told us to nearly change the whole of our script, but it was easy at the end because me and my group came up with a different script and I think it was a whole lot better then our old script. The last difficult task was to finish our work in a short amount of time , when I write a stroy I have a wonderful plan but it all goes wrong when we have to finish so I think of a simple solution then I quickly finish the story with horrible ending.

In Year5 it was very awesome but I love being Mr Sloan’s student and I did hate it a bit but not much, Hope it goes well in year6.
