Early grading

Due to a new timetable system coming soon I will grade the wand home work now. Only one student did the homework and they did very well. Unicorn tail hair is another material you can use for a wand core. However you did not explain it very well so I will give it an A. Everyone Else must improve in getting their homework in on time.

Grades

You may notice there is a grading system now. All your work will be marked like this so we can keep track on what you are doing.

Extra curricular classes

Welcome to this weeks extra curricular activity. This term it will be muggle art. Unlike wizard art, muggle art does not move on the page. We will be working on the colour wheel today. There are three main colours in the colour wheel. These are called primary colours. They are red, blue and yellow. From these primary colours we can get secondary colours, these are green, orange and violet. From there you can get many other shades of these colours. Like yellow green or red orange. Here is the basic colour wheel.  

 Your homework is to paint and label this colour wheel with muggle paint. You can mix the paints to get different shades. Homework on this site will start getting marked. The marking system will be on the site soon.
