ART
In art we are studying sculptures. We had homework that each individual
had to photograph five different sculptures and then choose one to continue to
photograph in different angles. We should also write about the sculpture we
chose. A few questions we had answer in our text, when was it built, who
made it and what material it made of.
Here
is some sculptures.
GYM
This week in gym we had
different stations where we did different kinds of physical tranings. For example push ups, step
ups, squats, sit ups, triseps push ups and we also did 90 degrease against a
wall, we hung from the bars and lifting are legs up with out bending them. At
the end of the lesson we played "evighetsstafett" that is when you are in two different teams
and run around a circle and try to tag the person in front of you.
"Riksbanken"
On Wednesday September 23rd we went to the central bank of
Sweden and there Seán's dad Patrik was talking about banking in general and some
facts about the bank. We got to know what inflation in money was and that the
central bank of Sweden was the first central bank in the world. Then this guy
called "Tommie". He showed us the new banknotes and also told us why
they changed them. We also got to know that we were one of the first people in
Sweden to actually see the banknotes and coins. The reason why they changed
them was to make it harder to copy them and to change the amount of banknotes
you have in your wallet. They changed the coins because the old coins weight
too much. The 20, 50, 200 and 1000 kr banknotes are coming out next week. To be
exact they are coming out October 1st. The old 20, 50 and 1000 kr banknotes
become unusable after the June 30th next year. The new coins and the 100 and
500 kr banknotes are coming out October 2016, and the old become unusable June
30th 2017.
Courthouse
This
week we went to the court house. The whole entire grade went to Rådhuset by Kungsholmen. When we went in it was kind
of like the school but much bigger and filled with men and woman in suits. We
got split into 2 group and each group got to go to different court cases. One
group got resisting arrest as their case and the other group got handling of
stolen goods. It was interesting to see a court case in action for real. The
group that got resisting arrest didn't hear the sentence that the prosecuted
person got, but the second groups convicted person got 7000kr fine. Overall it
was an exiting experience.
Social Studies
On Friday we were in groups of four to work on our social
studies test we were gonna take next week. We divided study-groups by colours.
In the end of the lesson Patrick told us that we could take the social studies
book home to study. Patrik thinks that all of us will do good in the test. We
will get 6 questions to answer on the test. The last question was the one that
you should write most about. We have been watching movies about different types
of crimes and laws to improve our knowledge of the subject. We went to
"Riksdagen" earlier this week to see how it actually was inside, we
had seen video clips of how it is inside but it was way cooler to be there.
Crafts
In
woodwork we continued making our boxes that are supposed to resemble our selfs.
If you were done with the boxes then you were supposed to fill in a paper with
information about what you did, how you did it, draw a picture,the measurements
and stuff like that. The next project was to make something your choice out of
metal, like a bowl or something.
Modern
languages
This
week in Spanish we were talking about a test. You were meant to present
yourself and say what you were called and where you lived. You also had
to say if you had a sister dad and mom and what their names was. We also did a
couple of worksheets in our book about spelling and common phrases.
In
German we learned how to say where we are from, how are you and how we are
feeling. We listened to a radio program about a guy who goes to Germany and it
is called "Anders vs Tyska". We got home work and we can go in on a
website that you can listen to German conversations.
Student Rotation
We all got new groups in students rotation on
Thursday. Students rotation is a new
version of students choice, but they thought it was unfair that some people got
more time to practice on certain subjects, so instead they made groups that
rotate between different subjects (NO with Lotta, SO with Micke, Gym with Hanna
and nutrition with Hillary). The rotations are 3 weeks in a row on Thursday at
10:00 - 11:20. With Lotta we work with atoms and we get a test on the last
lesson. In Micke's subject we talk about all the minority languages in Sweden.
In gym we don't do that much, we just do random gym lessons and we have no
theme. In nutrition we talk about vitamins and what they do for your body.
Maths
In maths we started doing percent and learned how
to do it witch is was fun and All. We
did some pages in our maths witch was fun. We also got a math package that we
had to work with. We were doing maths with decimals before we started with
percent. But we think that it was fun that've started on a new math subject. So
we have to work on percentage now.
Home Economics
This week on Home economics we had a choice between graham flower buns or tea cookies both are a
type of bread that has yeast in the dough. The difference between graham flower
buns and tea cookies is that the graham
flower buns have flour that is made from a whole corn and the tea cookies did
not. Both did have wheat. We had two hours to make the bread and put them in a
paper bag with your name on and took it home. If you did the tea cookies you
got six buns but with the graham flower buns
you got four.
Music
In music we
played guitar and it was really fun. It was fun because we had never played it
before. Our music teacher also taught us how to play two different chords like
A chord and the C chord. You were two and two and you got one guitar that you
could play the two chords with. My favorite one was the A chord.
