Highlights of Week 3

We've been so busy these days doing tests, swimming, learning to use our new computers in the ICT Room and have been making goals for the term.  We haven't been able to do much else!  We did manage to squeeze in some practice on our item for the school assembly on Friday.  Miss B taught us how to sing the famous Bob Dylan song 'Blowing in the Wind' accompanied by autoharp.  We really love singing the song - especially the chorus which is so catchy.  They lyrics are quite tricky to understand but we've been discussing how sometimes there are difficult questions in life.  See if you can figure out the meaning of the song:

Blowing in the Wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind.

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind.

I wonder if any of you could tell us when Bob Dylan wrote that song and why it was written.  You can leave your comment for us below.

During the week Miss B had to give some students a Numpa test.  While she did that some students played with the Clicko and created some fantastic designs.  You can see them here.

That's all for Week 3!
