My cat is black and white.  Cats like to be cosy near the fire. When my cat is hungry she eats fish. My cat is a girl. My cat is pretty.

Funky fashion 1970s

In 1970s there was no ration
Of cool and rocking funky fashion
People dancing all around
To that amazing disco sound
Gold medallions are really glistening
To hippy things people are listening
hot pants were so really tight
You'd expect people to go red and bright
Humongous Afro hairdos
people going cuckoo
Enormous clunky platform shoes
What a life,What a life in the 1970s
What a life What a life
 No going at the fashion with ease

Becky and Ashley's Super Cool Lotto Ad

For homework Room 8 had to bring an ad to school to share or act an ad out. Ashley and Becky worked very hard on their super cool ad. They made up a dance to go with the jingle- ( believe it or not i'm walking on air, I never thought I would feel so free  e e. Flying away ooooooh to another place oooooh woooould iiiit beeee.) and sung it. They did a superb job. They also made up a play about a man who buys a lotto ticket and wins a vacation and lots of money. What a great job and it was enjoyed throughly. Their outfits were cool as well.

Japanese Childrens Day

On the fifth of May it is Childrens Day in Japan. One of the things they put up this kite called a koinobori. they are a specail type of carp streamer. The Japanese people put up koinobori which is a sort of fish on a flag pole.
If you want to put up a koinobori on a pole this is the order it should go in, The black carp goes first that is the dad, the red carp goes seconed that is the mum, the last carp is the son. Sometimes if there is a daughter she is at the bottom.

 In Japanese culture, the carp (or koi) represents courage and perseverance, as the fish is known for its strength and determination as it swims against the current upstream. The carp kite symbolises each family's wish for their sons to grow up brave and strong.

We have put these flags up on our flag pole at Harewood.We need some wind now!
