On Thursday 19th October, we went to Malcom Arnold

Academy to participate in 4 activities; Art, Music, Science and

P.E., my preferred activity was either Art or Science as they were
equally enjoyable.
For our first activity, Art, we were on a table and we were
exploring textures. Each table had 2 plastic bags which
protected some materials we could use for our boards. We stuck
the materials onto our boards with PVA glue and once we had
glued them on, we stuck our letters of our name onto them and
later the teacher, Mrs Prince, spray-painted them and we
received them at the conclusion of the academic day.
In our second activity, Music, we composed rhythms and
practised the rhythms that the teachers gave us beforehand,
Woodpecker and Yummy Chicken Nuggets but Daisey created
Yummy Chicken Nuggets, we did all this on drums from Africa
and it was really fun and enjoyable apart from the fact that we
had to share drums so we did not get to do the whole lesson
because the other person was participating on your behalf. We
were placed into groups of 4 to compose music on our drums
and I was with the person I shared a drum with, Lacey, and also
another pair who were Ro and William. Soon after, we
performed in front of our classmates.
In our third activity, Science, we were being technicians
investigating a theft of a trophy we had won for sports and there
were 4 suspects, The baker[C], The schools chef[D], The
decorator[A] and the school cleaner[B]. We were placed into
groups of 6 and I was with Tafara, Rebeka, Karolina, Ro and
Brogan. We did experiments and wrote the information and
then the teacher told us the Baker was the thief!
 In our final activity, P.E., [Which was my least favourite] we
were separated into 4 teams; yellow, blue, green and red. I was
sorted into red and the captain of that team was Reilly. We had a
competition that our team lost unfortunately but only by 1 point
because if we got 1 more point the green team would have lost
and the reason we lost was probably because my javelin throw
was just a bit further than a ruler-length.
It was a wonderful experience at Malcom Arnold Academy!
