noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Mon, 14 May 2012 06:37:00 +0000

Richard the III is about the hunchback king Richard III and his rise to power.

Act 1
In act 1 Richard III is upset because there is peace. Then he has a moan about his back and how he will be forever alone. Then he hatches up a devious plan to take over the throne.

Richards character
Richard is a hunchback who thrives for power. He would do anything (or kill anyone) for power. He is ruthless and has no feelings. He is also a master manipulator. He can bend most peoples wills to suit his own.

Richard III was a Shakespeare play written in about the early 1590s.

Richard III by hannah

noreply@blogger.com (hannah) — Sun, 13 May 2012 18:36:00 +0000

What was Richard III like as a character?
Richard III was a nasty man and would do whatever it takes as long as he would get what he wanted.He would kill anyone that got in his way including family & friends just so the throne would be his. Richard had a evil mind, was manipulative, and he would stop at nothing to become king. Whatever he wanted he would get!e.g. he killed edward just so he could marry his wife, and when he got bored of her, he killed her to.

The important events; act 1.
Richard asks Clarence what the reason for his arrest is. Clarence replies that someone told King Edward that a person with a name starting with the letter "G" would cause his family to lose the throne. Since Clarence's full name is George, Duke of Clarence, he was considered to be the primary suspect.

How did he die?
Richard was killed during the battle of bosworth feild in 1485.
His defeat at the Battle of Bosworth Field was the decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses and is sometimes regarded as the end of the Middle Ages in England.

Richard III

Richard III was a very popular play in elizebethan times.

Richard III was a very evil man and would do anything to get to the throne. He killed many of his closest friends and even some of his family! People were afraid of him because he killed so many people. He is very good at tricking people.

In act 1 Richard III is angry because a battle bought peace to his land.

In act 2 he explains how he has to marry Lady Anne to become King. He tells Lady Anne that he loves her. But Lady Anne is angry because richard III killed her husband.

Later on in the play Richard III kills many more people. But then in a dream the ghosts of the people who Richard killed haunt him. The next day Richard III is killed in the battle of Bosworth by Earl of Richmond.

Richard III

Richard III was a very evil man. He would kill anyone who went in his way even his own family just to get to the throne. He was unhappy that his team won the battle because it brought peace to the country and the people there. Richard III wanted to marry Lady Anne wife of Edward so he killed Edward so he could can marry Lady Anne but he didn’t love her he wanted to use her so he could get to the throne. Richard III eventually killed Lady Anne because he didn't love her anymore,he loved Elizabeth.

Act 1

Richard III convinces Edward IV to send his own brother Clarence to jail. Richard then goes to meet the sickly King Edward IV, and then he meets Lady Anne widow of Edward and declares his love to her but then curses him.

Richard III should not be respected and should be treated unkindly like how he treats everyone else cruelly.He sent his own brother to jail for no reason and twisted his own brother’s mind even though he was ill.

How King Richard III died

King Richard III was killed in the Battle of Bosworth by Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond who was later on crowned as King Henry VII.

Night before the Battle it is said that the ghost of the people Richard murdered came to visit him in his sleep and haunted him.

People that were murdered by Richard III

Duke of Clarence- Killed because his name began with the letter ‘G’

Lord Hastings-Accused of Treason by Richard III

Lady Anne- No longer appealing to Richard III

Earl Rivers- Attempted to remove Richard from the role of Protector

Duke of Buckingham- Stopped supporting Richard so he killed him

Duke of York (Richard)-His fate is unknown

Prince Edward- Fate is unknown

Vaughan- Tried to remove Richard from role of Protector.

Richard III

Born: 2^ndOctober 1452

Died: 22 August 1485

Richard III was a very evil man. He would kill anyone in his way even his own family just to get to the throne. He was unhappy that his team won the battle because it brought peace to the country. Richard III wanted to marry Lady Anne wife of Edward who he killed so he can marry Lady Anne but he didn’t love her but wanted to use her so he could get to the throne. Richard III eventually killed Lady Anne because he no longer loved Lady Anne but loved Elizabeth!!

Act I

Richard III convinces Edward IV to send his own brother Clarence to jail because his name begins with a ‘G’. Richard then goes to meet the sickly King Edward IV, and then he meets Lady Anne widow of Edward and declares his love to her but then curses him.

I think Richard III should not be respected and should be treated unkindly like how he treats everyone else cruelly; meanly etc .He sent his own brother to jail for no particular reason and twisted his own brother’s mind even though he was ill.

Richard III - Shakespeare's play
There has been a civil war between two types of people. There is the royal family of York and the royal family of Lancaster. The Yorks win and England is ruled by King Edward IV. Edward's younger brother is Richard III and he wants the throne for himself. Shakespeare's play portrays Richard III in a bad way. It says he killed his brother to get to the throne and that when he was dying in battle he said, " a horse, my kingdom for a horse" This is in fact not true. William Shakespeare made this up.

Cast
Richard- the guy who the play is based on.
Buckingham- his right-hand man
King Edward IV- Richard III 's brother who is at the throne. he doesnt know that Richard is plotting against him.
Clarence- the son born between richard and edward

Some more cast members
Queen Elizabeth
Dorset
Rivers
Gray
Anne
Duchess of York
Margaret
The princes
Young Elizabeth
Ratcliffe
Catesby

There are many more members but these are the ones I have decided to put on

I don't really believe Shakespeare's play and the things he said about Richard III are true.

the effects of a tsunami

The Effects of a Tsunami

On the 3^rd November 2011 one of the most deadly tsunamis had hit Japan. Many people had died and most of the buildings had been demolished. 15,839 people had died, 5,950 were injured and 3,642 are still missing after the tsunami. All the surviving people had no food or shelter.

How does a tsunami occur?

Below the earth’s surface the world is surrounded with plates. The nearer these plates move the more chance a tsunami forms. Here is a diagram.

Many lives were lost and most of the buildings and land were lost. A tsunami is one of the worst natural disasters.

Electricity, food, money, cars, boats and people had been washed away. It was very hard to find any of the survivor’s food and shelter.

The biggest tsunami was the tsunami that occurred on July, 1958 in Latoya Bay, Alaska.

How does a tsunami work

and the effects of a tsunami

How does it work?

Tsunami's can occur when 2 tectonic plate boundaries suffer a large displacement.

The upward movement of the land causes a large displacement of the water causing the wave.

A tsunami can also be generated by a giant meteor with the ocean.

The effects of tsunami's

noreply@blogger.com (samantha) — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 20:58:00 +0000

Tsunami's can be very dangerous and can cause a lot of damage.Tsunami's are caused by two plates in the ground pushing together, eventually they give up and slip and they will go in different directions. It's just an under water earthquake but it's much worse than an earthquake.When a tsunami happens all the water rises up and just spreads out everywhere and covers the whole land. Sometimes the damage can be that bad you have to wait years for things to be repaired and replaced.

The effects of tsunami and how it happens

noreply@blogger.com (balraj) — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 20:32:00 +0000

There are lots of plates in the earth witch move around qiet often.At one point some of these plates touch and they keep on pushing against each other and then the friction brakes when they can't hold the presure much longer one plate pushes up from pushing against the other plate and causes a Tsunami. This happens because when the plate pushes up it pushes up te surface of the earth and the water goes up like a big wave and causes a Tsunami. The effects of a tsunami are devastating. They are one of the world's worst natural disasters that can hit a country. Tsunami damage is first caused by the immense force of the tidal wave hitting the shoreline. Tsunami flooding then continues to cause damage for several more weeks. The effects of the tsunami on the country during this period range from destruction and damage, death, injury, millions of dollars in financial loss, and long lasting psychological problems for the inhabitants of the region. The initial impact of the tsunami is often publicised across the world through the news media. However, the actual effects continue for many years after the natural disaster struck. For many of the people affected, they will never forget the terrifying ordeal of being caught in a tsunami. The scars that are inflicted on the land can be present for decades to come, and this only serves as a reminder to people living in the area of the terrible losses caused by the tsunami, and the lingering danger that yet another killer tidal wave could strike at any moment with very little warning. Tsunami damage and destruction A tsunami's tidal waves batter the shoreline can destroy anything in their path. This includes boats, buildings, houses, hotels, cars, trees, telephone lines - and just about anything else in their way. Once the waves have knocked down infrastructure on the shore the waves continue inland for up to another mile. As the water rushed across the land it can sweep away yet more trees, gardens, buildings, cars and other man made equipment. Boats have often been hurled into the sky and iron parking metres have been bent to the ground. Tsunamis often hit poorer and less-developed countries around South Asia that are close to the ''ring of fire'' in the pacific ocean - a area with high seismic activity. Because these countries are poor their buildings are not built strongly to withstand natural disasters such as Tsunamis. This means that when the water hits the buildings they are easily washed away. The water leaves a trail of destruction that looks like an enormous bomb has exploded in the area. Entire towns and villages have been destroyed.

The effect of tsunamis on our village

noreply@blogger.com (Faheema) — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 20:02:00 +0000

a diagram of how a tsunami takes place

Tsunamis are when the techtonic plates try to move in different direction but then eventually snaps. This causes the water above the ground to arises at a extremely fast speed meaning nothing can stop it. When it sweeps out buildings and houses the water becomes stronger.

Tsunamis can effect our village community very badly because it can sweep out peoples family members, houses,work places and even hospitals and more. The members of the community will have no place to live nothing to eat or drink and even to such an extent that they may become lonely due to the deaths of their family. This will shatter our village apart. The costs of all the damages could be a lot and we might not be able to deal with this situation.

By Faheema

Tsunamis will destroy our village

noreply@blogger.com (stephanie) — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 17:51:00 +0000

Plates float around the earth and when one is trying to move one way the other is trying to move the opposite direction and the friction suddenly breaks and it forces the water upwards and it causes one massive wave to ruin houses.

The tsunamis can also split families up, people will die and some may be swept out to sea and fisher mens boats will be crushed and you will have nowhere to live and u wont have a work anymore.
The best thing to do when a tsunami is coming is get to a high level and you might survive.

Tsunamis can be very strong and force boats or house on top of other things and when a tsunami hits one house and smashes it,its not just water that carries on a tone of bricks go with it and when it smashes other houses the bricks from that house go on aswell and the tsunami gets stronger and stronger as it carries on.

Tsunami by Beth and Bobbie

noreply@blogger.com (bobbie) — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 12:57:00 +0000

Tsunami in the village
How tsunami happen

There are lots of plates in the earth and they move around .At one point the plates touch and they keep on pushing against each other and then when they can't hold the presure much longer one plate pushes up from pushing against the other plate and causes a Tsunami. This happens because when the plate pushes up it pushes up te surface of the earth and the water goes up like a big wave and causes a Tsunami .

Affects of tsunamis

The impacts of a Tsunami in The Village

noreply@blogger.com (Chloe) — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 17:08:00 +0000

Whats causes a Tsunami

Below the earths surface the world is covered in plates and when these plates move near each other one is blocked by the other.Eventually one of these plates gives way causing an eathquake but if theres water aboe the point where the earthquake starts it will spread onto land and wipe out all in its way.

Effects of Tsunamis

A tsunami is one of the worst natural disaster that can happen on earth.The wave washes out all in its way including houses,cars,boats,trees and people.If a nuclear power plant is damaged by the wave it could leak chemicals into the atmoshere,costing more lives.Family members would be killed,changing there relatives life perminantly. There wouldn't be enough food,water and medical supplies.

Impacts of a tsunami in the Village

noreply@blogger.com (Laiba) — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:33:00 +0000

How a tsunami happens.

There are plates underneath the water, they move all the time and when a plate hits another plate they cant move they shake together until, eventually one plate moves up and causes the water to rise which makes a tsunami occur. It's not just a little bit of water on top of the plates its a huge amount which is why, when the tsunami happens alot of water washes onto the shore causing houses to fall and people dying. Impacts of a tsunami: Tsunamis will definitely cause injuries. Tsunamis,as they come from the sea, will wash fishing boats and other boats such as cruises onto shore. The boats will be stuck on shore and usually wrecked from the forces of the wave. The waves will also cause fishes to be washed onto shore and stuck there to die. They can also flood the lands near the shore, causing people to die from them. This will damage the crops and cause nearby buildings to collapse. Some people might be trapped under the buildings and die. They uproot trees too, causing them to fall on houses and people. Lastly, it costs a lot to repair the buildings and get everything back to normal and restoring the original landscape. Also, families will be lost and people would have to go into big buildings that haven't collapsed to stay warm and have a place to sleep.

We also looked at what we could make the dress on, we were suggested a barbie like doll. we googled something similar an artists doll.

My 20% Time Project

noreply@blogger.com (courtney) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:44:00 +0000

Hello, I go to Stretford High School. I love all the lesson's especially expressive arts ( Drama, Music and Art). I really enjoy maths and English too because when I leave school I either want to be a lawyer or an accountant. I love 3D drawing because it is different to the usual way of drawing .

I would really like to understand how much maths goes into making an accurate 3D drawing and if there's a technique to creating a precise and accurate 3D model of a 3d house.

At the moment there's a piece of software on the computer that helps to get an idea of how to build a 3D building so I'm trying to structure a template of the school and aim on putting it onto google earth.
I have been trying to create a model of the school. At first I just started of with a simple house but now I know what to do so I'm going to start the more complex structure of the school building...

This is a picture of the 3D house to start of with:

iBusby - the aftermath

noreply@blogger.com (Mr Cooke) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 07:59:00 +0000

What a fantastic day we had yesterday at the iBusby workshops!

I really hope you all came away having gained something from the experience but now come the challenging bit! All the technology we have available is a wonderful thing to have at our fingertips but it is how we use it that counts?

How can you best use some of these great tools? Will Google Docs make your next group project much easier? Will communicating through your school Gmail make your life easier? Will uploading through Realsmart mean the end of crumpled up home learning at the bottom of your bag – I hope so!

Technology is not about what it cando but what it actually does for you and now is the time, right at the start of your Stretford journey, that you need to start making it a huge part of your learning!

How will you start to use this technology? It would be great to hear your comments below.

A note on comments and posts – remember, these blogs are like a digital version of your class book that everyone can see. If your posts and comments are not good enough for your book, they shouldn’t be on here. So whilst you may be desperate to say that something is ‘HAHAHAHA proper rofl lolz ;)’ – think about whether it is best saved for Facebook!

Making that distinction between a space for learning and a space for socialising is crucial.

This is exactly the same as when you walk into a classroom and open your books – so if you have posts which you don’t think are appropriate, now is the time to remove before we invite the world to see our posts.

It is exciting to see our Blogs become part of the Stretford High School homepage on the ‘showcase’ section and every post you make is now fed directly onto the school homepage! It also means everything we write has to be the best it possibly can be!

Now it is over to you!
