Christmas story-King Herods' Diary

Dear Diary,

Today three men came to me asking to see the new ruler and i thought what new ruler? Then i thought a new ruler must have been born somewhere else, so i told them to find him and bring him to me.Little do they know i'm going to kill him!

When they didn't bring him to me i told my men to kill every new born in Bethlehem so he can't take the throne off me ha ha!! Ihope we get him.

Christmas story- Inn keeper

Dear Diary,

Today has been hectic, I've had people knocking on my door and i was so angry. Then i had this couple come and knock on my door, i said i have no more rooms but they were desperate so i said they could stay in my stable.

Then a couple of hours later i heard about a little boy called Jesus being born and i was so happy because he had been born in my stable.

Dear diary,
                I have had a heck of a couple of days following an angle all the way to Bethlehem.I need to sleep after these horrible few days of walking!Also I gave Jesus that block of gold I had.I also have seen his mother Mary and the man who she married Joseph.I was trying to see him but the horrible animals kept getting in my way.It has been exhausting.

The Christmas Story - A Shepherd's Diary

Dear Diary,

Today I have had an extreamly exciting day! I traveled to a stable in Bethlehem with all of my sheep - it was very tiring! I saw a baby boy being born, he was named Jesus. Mary was chosen to give birth to Jesus, she was told by an angel. That would have been exciting talking to an angel!

Christmas Lunch with Komodo Dragon Base


Bollywood to Hollywood and all that jazz!



Our topic has moved from India to Bollywood and then across seas to Hollywood. Komodo Dragon Base have been exploring what early Hollywood would of been like, why Hollywoodland was chosen to build the studios and what benefits and drawback the site had.





We also investigated the history of films and discovered that films really started with puppet shows. This prompted an investigation into discovering if you could change the colour of a shaodw by using different materials.

Komodo Dragon Base were fab and were able to use and apply terms such as: opaque, translucent and transparent.



Of course, that's not all - we also investigated how else we could change a shadow. We had groups investigate the size of the object, the distance from the light source, the size of light source and even the strength of the light source.

Great stuff!
