Month: May 2020

I made carrot cake with my mum.

I hoovered downstairs.

 

I made lasagne with my mum.

   

I have also been practising piping buttercream on cupcakes. I made the cupcakes all by myself and then the next day (after mum showed me how to do it) I decorated all the cupcakes myself. I really enjoyed it!

 

I have had a busy week.

Hi everyone
This is my written piece about the differences between home school and being at a school.

Home school and being at school are quite different.  For example at home you don’t have a massive gym hall but you do at school.

At home when I’m doing school I’m surrounded by my pets and I like it because it keeps me calm and relaxed.

When I am doing home school I only have two people in my class and the people are me and Rory. It is not the completely fun having your brother in your class but that’s probably me getting used to it. Not only do we have a small class we also have a smaller playground. It’s ok having a smaller playground because we still have a trampoline. The classroom also looks very different because there’s two TV’s and a sofa.

I’m going to be talking about being at school now. At school I was able to see my friends much more and the teachers and I miss my friends and the teachers. We also have actual school chairs and tables at school which is a lot better to lean on. All of us also have to wear school clothes but for home school we don’t.  At school we also have a lot of computers but we don’t at home.

Here are some parts of school that are similar. We have similar school supplies like pencils, pens, rubbers and colouring pencils. We also do similar maths like school.

I wish I was back at school because I miss my friends.

Other work

I’ve been keeping up my 5 a day maths problems – I’ve been doing a mix of medium and spicy. There was one spicy one that even had mummy a bit bamboozled for a while. I’ve also been doing Sumdog. For literacy I’ve been practising my spelling and I also did the venn diagram to help me plan for the piece above. I’ve also been doing my half an hour a day of House with the chicken legs. Yesterday we also covered inherited characteristics. We did the monster task and this is my monster family babies.

That’s all for now. I hope everyone is well.
Bye for now. Cleo

Hi

It has been such a lovely day today I have been doing work in the garden. My mum put up the parasol because I was too hot and i couldn’t see my maths book. We played bingo again and we played bingo with words so I had to read the words out.

I did a drawing of a bunch of flowers. My nan has lots of flowers in her garden. Later I am going to try and make a butterfly feeder. 

what are you up to? I am now on wordlist 24 and I am doing a lot of school work I am even doing some of the p7s five a day, I am doing quick writing,math,spelling,reading too, I am on my second book I have done a book review  on sleep overs,  it was a really good book  and at night my mum is testing me on a book about the solar system it is a quiz book. And I have been doing areas and perimeters

i have been doing a lot of  exercise too,I have been doing a lot of dancing and acrobatics,I have even been doing some badminton, I am really into basketball too,

Put down in the blog what you have been up to

Today we started the day with our nice long walk and I ran a lot of the way! I think I tired myself out because I was struggling with my maths a bit today and needed some help to do it.  I found a nice shady seat outside to do it because the weather is so nice.

 

 

hi all a little up date on how i am doing so far me and my brothers have started to make a WW2 trench in our front garden we have had multiple water fights /Nerf wars and more

I went for a walk down by the river and saw a heron again.

 

 

 

 

 

I saw a pair of mute swans.  I also saw some whooper swans flying over the river but I didn’t get a photo of them.

 

 

 

 

I saw some tiny fish in the river.  You can probably see their shadows better than the actual fish in this photo.

 

 

 

I saw some long beetles on a dandy-lion flower but I haven’t been able to identify them (perhaps Mr. Walker can help).

the things I like at school are Miss Stapleton’s maths and playing with my friends Bailey and Liam on the hills spying on people.

I like doing the week in the woods where we make smores.  I remember miss dale brought chocolate digestives and we held a stick with marshmallows and melted them over the fire.  we then asked miss dale to put them into the digestive biscuits and we ate them.

I like waterslide day.  we get a couple of tyres and roll a tarpaulin down the hill. we put the tyres on the tarpaulin at the side to hold it down and Miss Dale gets buckets of soapy water and chuck it down so we can slide.  if you dont want to play on the waterslide you can bring your own water guns too.  If I get to do this again this year I will need a new water gun as mine is broken.  Last year was the first year I did this and it was really fun!

I also enjoy doing gymnastics with Miss Brockie-Donald.  She lets us have a big springboard and jump over the horse which is not a real horse but something used in gymnastics.

At home I have mum and dad to help me with my work.  If im struggling, mum can help me whilst dad looks after Bethany or the other way round.  I can play with my little sister Bethany at break time.  she gets very excited when its break time and I come off doing homework.

I can have drinks during my homework at home, but at school I can go for a drink too if I need one.  at home I can drink what I want but at school I have to have water.

things that are the same at school and at home are that we use laptops (thanks Miss Dale!), we have the same maths and literacy stuff and we try to stick to a timetable.

Hi everyone
Hi Miss Brockie-Donald – I’m OK, just really missing all my friends and the playground.

I’ve been working hard on my maths again. I’ve been doing the subtractions that are on our sheet. I’ve been learning about needing to borrow a one to help work them out. I’ve also been trying to do my Sumdog challenge. I’ve been trying hard to be accurate. This one has been tricky.

I learned about life cycles. We watched some videos and I drew a life cycle of a butterfly. I really liked doing this and want to do more life cycles! I learned about inherited characteristics yesterday and we did the monster task. This is my picture of the parents and the baby monsters. I am going to give the puppy task a go this afternoon.

I’m still reading Ottoline and the Yellow Cat but today I took a break from it and read 2 books that Nana gave us that have tasks in them about tricky words. I’ll do the tasks tomorrow.

Yesterday I did spelling as part of literacy. I got 9 out of 10. Then wrote a sentence for each word. I also did some creative writing for literacy this morning. Here it is –

I was Yoda and I was in Dagobah eating. Darth Vader came. I said leave you must and took out my light saber. I hit Vader’s saber. Darth Vader said join the dark side. Luke Skywalker’s x-wing landed. Luke took out his light saber and said he will not join you Vader. Then Emperor Palpatine came and he shot lightening out of his hands hitting Luke. Luke got knocked out. Yoda ran away.
Then I woke up!

Finally I’ve checked my bug hotel and so far we only have ants, snails and the odd spider moved in. I’m now going to watch an episode of Horrible Histories. Bye for now.
