Hi everyone.
Firstly I’ve discovered my favourite thing in maths is partitions. I’ve really been enjoying doing them! I even asked to do them again today. I’ve also been practising hard on my 3 and 4 times table. I didn’t think I was very good at the 3 and then I proved myself wrong when I got all my 3 times table questions right.
As part of my exercise for big Thursday we went to the skate park and I got to scoot on my new scooter. I decided to try one of the bigger ramps that I hadn’t tried before and I did it! So I asked my Dad to take a video.
We watched another episode of Perfect Planet and my mum wanted to know 3 facts we learned from the show.
Figs are pollinated by fig wasps that lay their eggs inside. When the baby wasps hatch inside the fig, the male wasps allow themselves to be eaten by ants to let the female wasps get away. The female wasps only live for 2 days.
Golden snub-nosed monkeys live in families and the familes fight with each other for food. Snub-nosed monkeys are one of my favourite animals because I love monkeys. I already knew that the leader of the family is the big male with the fur cape.
Arctic foxes steal eggs from geese to feed their cubs. Their cubs need 300 calories a day to grow.
Bye for now.
Well done on your times tables. I’m glad your enjoying it.
I love the video of you on your new scooter. The skate park is a great place to go.
Thanks for sharing your facts.
Have a great weekend.
Great video Rory- looks fun. Those are some very interesting facts from Perfect Planet. I sent away for a Perfect Planet poster to put up in school. We put it up in the hall today so you will see it when you are back! 🙂
Great to hear you are enjoying the maths, Rory. Interesting facts from Perfect Planet. Well done being brave and trying the bigger ramp – what a good way to get exercise!
Impressive scooter skills Rory! I’m glad you are enjoying partitioning. Learning is always more fun when you enjoy what you are doing!
Well done for working on your 3 and 4 times tables Rory. The skate park looks like a great activity for your BIG Thursday P.E. Those are some fascinating facts you have learned from that Perfect Planet episode.
