Hi there
Rory here – just wanted to share some bits of work from the last week.
We have been learning about living and non-living things.  We did the task about the aliens using the classification key. We also watched a couple of different videos on what makes something a living thing. We then did our posters. This is mine.

We also a drew picture for French of a house to name all the rooms.

I’m still reading the Twits at the moment. I’ve also completed my Sumdog maths challenge about money. We are just about to go a walk now to spot some things that would make a good bug hotel.
Hope everyone is well. Bye for now 🙂
Rory.

Hi it’s sarah! today I’m going to  talk about what I did on my corona because I live next to a river and it’s so sunny. we swam in the river it was a lot of fun my dog Sasha ran from us because we were really wet. We have a kayak and my dad got it out my sister went in and never came out she’s still in haha. Something bad happened to my dog she got bitten by a dog and she has 3 bite marks but she’s ok and my tooth went in my lip it’s so pain full.

Yay, I have a new knife (I ordered it on the internet).  I wanted to show you some different cutting techniques so I persuaded my son to help me.

It is better to use a slight slicing action when whittling and making small shallow cuts, not digging too far into the wood.  As you can see from these photos, Andrew is left handed, so he wears the right cut resistant glove (I wear the left one because I am right handed).  He also wears a thumb protector (made from the horse bandage that I showed you in my first whittling post) on his knife holding hand.

 

 

 

Try to make most of your cuts away from your body and rest your spoon (or whatever you are making) against the blocks on the whittling seat. 

 

 

 

 

To make small, controlled cuts use both thumbs to push the blade. 

 

 

 

 

To round off the ends of your spoon, start by resting it against  one of the blocks on the whittling seat and make small cuts downwards. 

 

 

 

 

This morning I have made my own home made soup with mum. I chose green beans because my uncle who is a lorry driver enjoys them, this is for him to take in his lorry whilst he’s working hard delivering food to all the supermarkets 😁.  I then spent some time with my dad on the mindcraft coding, I found this a little difficult but my dad showed me how to do it. I am now having some lunch then going to do my plan for insect hotel.  I am missing all my friends, hope everybody is staying safe.

Hi All,

Well done to everyone for keeping up with their reading at home. It’s great to see so many of you using EPIC and mentioning books on your Blog posts. Starting tomorrow we will be doing a HOLYWOOD BIG READ every Friday morning. It would be great to see lots of you joining in by reading for half an hour at home.

At around 10 am there will be a BOOK BLETHER post on the Blog. Click on the post then reply in the comments to join in with the chat.

We have also added some BIG READ TASKS with ideas of activities you can do alongside your books.

BIG READ TASKS

Hello everyone…. for my genius hour, I chose to start my journey to playing the bagpipes.. I started with the tin whistle and I am now on the chanter… It is really hard work and needs a lot of practice… I am getting weekly video lessons from my tutor Arron who is part of Corberry Park Pipers.

Here is a wee video of what I have learnt so far…

 

 

Being home schooled is so different than going to school with other class mates, getting used to this new style of learning has been such a challenge and yet at the same time it’s exhilarating. As fun as it is at home, I can’t help but miss real school! Personally I think that the hardest part of being home schooled is waking up. When at home I feel like we have a longer chance to research up more on the subject, recently I made a leaflet on Salvador Dali! I also got to try make a Rocket stove, sadly the wood did not burn as well but it was still fun! My mother printed out geography sheets, so I learn more about exotic country’s. My dad help teach me more about natural disasters and then man made one’s. Since I have all the time in the world, when doing spelling workout I am also translating my list into Japanese! It honestly takes for ever but in someway it is still really fun, oh and at the same time I have made up my own language with emoji’s and symbols. Well have a good day!

Thanks for reading daisy!
