Hello, I have been learning about horses today.

A baby horse is called a foal.

The foal stands and goes under their mummys tummy to drink their milk.

Some farmers use horses to help them move cattle from one place to another.

Shetland ponies are the size of a big dog.

Working horses eat lots of oats to stay strong.

People made paintings of horses on cave walls about 1700 years ago.

I also did some work on how we care for our teeth, learnt about orchestras and did some maths.

Hi all, Caspian is back!

I have not been blogging for a few days because I have been learning and researching a lot. I have researched: The Spanish Armada, The Vikings, Temperature, and tried out my spelling skills. I did a spelling test and got 19/20, I spelt fulfil as fulfill. I also did a maths test and got 10/10. In the Spanish Armada comprehension I did I did well as my Mum said and in my temperature I got quite a few correct questions. I have been doing more maths questions than I can remember. Its been a great few days!

The Vikings spread throughout Europe in 800 AD;

They took direction from the stars;

King Cnut ruled Denmark, England and Norway. He compared himself to God but when he tried to control the waves, obviously they did not obey;

Vikings gave their swords names;

They were termed berserkirs – warriors who got wound up for battle;

They boiled their water by inserting hot stones;

Viking children learned how to ride horses and boys had to be ready for battle by the time they reached 16;

They thought the end of the world was the edge of the ocean;

The days of the week which still have Viking names are Wednesday Woden, Thursday Thor, Friday Frida.

Father Christmas was originally the god Yule which is where we get Yuletide from;

I have written my name in runes but the Viking alphabet does not have a C and a P so I am Asian.

That’s all for now, zài jiàn ！！！(That’s Chinese for “Goodbye!!!”)
