Day: May 15, 2020

Yesterday we did big Thursday and mummy made us hide a toy and then give instructions how to find it. I hid a toy dolphin but it was too easy to find.  We also had fun putting our swimming pool up and it’s big and we were all jumping into it and we were freezing.
we have been doing lots of things since lockdown, mummy has made us do some school work everyday, I don’t like doing maths 🙁.
I also made my bug hotel, I’ve posted pictures and I now have lots pet snails living in it, I check it every day and I had 7 snails in it too.
we have also been busy colouring rainbows for mummy for work,  we have been going for walks and cycling our bikes along the road down to the water.  We have been spending a bit more time at daddy’s house so mummy can go to work and we still have to do work there too.
we have been trying home cooking too, I have made cupcakes, crispie cakes and shortbread.
im missing all my friends and teachers too, I miss coming to school.

ok bye for now I’m away to play on our swings and trampoline.

Today I finished my maths sums for the week, then I did a spelling test.  The best part of today was measuring with my hand cut outs! It was a lot of fun and my sister could join in too which she loved!

I measured my dog Freddy who was 8 hands long, then I measured my sister who was 8 hands long too! She is the same length which I didn’t realise before!  I then measured my dinosaur, he was 3 hands high and 3 hands long.

Hope you have a nice weekend

Hi everyone

Today I painted a Vincent Van Gogh picture which was the Field of poppies.

Hello team Holywood how is everybody doing?

Today l read a bit about Vincent Van Gogh and painted one of his pictures which was The Starry Night 🌌.  l like his paintings 🖼 because you can see the strokes of the brush.

First  this week I let go my  butterflies. It took a long time for some of them to take off. One of the butterflies was very hairy on its back I did not expect that.

I made a zip wire in the kitchen I did not use string. I used nylon thread I didn’t think it would work but it did. It worked because the thread was strong and slippery. When we pulled it tight it went down much faster. I put  my teddy on the zip wire then I put down my playmobile. The playmobile went down quicker because they were lighter.

Yesterday I had an online appointment. It was kinda weird. I had to see the receptionist on the screen. I did not expect it. Then I had to go into the virtual waiting room. The screen said you will be collected soon. It sounded strange to me. I think this a good thing because after the virus there wont be a tonne of people waiting for a new appointment. I have to do it all again next week !!!!!!!

Single Line Portrait Drawing

For this activity all you need is a sheet of A4 paper, a mirror (if you are drawing yourself) and a pencil or pen.

 

 

 

 

 

To do this activity properly, you are not allowed to lift your pencil off the paper once you have started.  However, you are allowed to draw over the top of lines you have already drawn – it is quite tricky!   I drew myself in the mirror and I drew my husband.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I challenge all the staff and pupils to do this.  Top tip:  start down the middle of your face (I started with my eyebrow).

 

 

 

 

 

Morning Book Worms!

Today we are going to use one of the BIG READ TASKS to get us started with our book chat:

FICTIONAL FRIENDS

Which character would you want as a friend? Why? What would you do or talk about together? 

The character can either be from the book you are reading just now or any book you have read in the past.

Look forward to chatting!

Here is my poem I wrote with similes

My Dog Beans

She’s as playful as a tiger cub.

Beans is as beautiful as blossom.

 As clever as a dolphin.

 She is as grumpy as a bear if you lose her ball.

 As cuddly as a duckling.

She’s like a fish when she swims.

As ready to pump as is a cowboy addicted to baked beans.

Morning Everyone
