Day: February 9, 2021

Hello everybody! I’ve have been quite a busy bee the last couple of days.

I’ve been doing a lot of maths. I started with the word problems and my favourite one was the one about the mantis. I did struggle on a few but I got there. I did the spicy Five-a-day which I found quite easy. I just struggled on the last question. I did the rounding the numbers challenge and I did it in 2 minutes. It was very easy.

I did the harder sudoku. Sudoku is quite a challenge when starting off but when you get the hang of it you find it quite easy. I really enjoyed doing them.

I did quite a bit of literacy and I found the Scots quite hard surprisingly. I started with translating my favourite books blurb into Scots.

There ur stories that ge ya the fear.

An there ur the murk and the disturbing Creepypasta stories that wid make ye freaked oot. The Creepypasta Collection is an unsettlin anthology o’ terror, foo a’ nichtmares and dangerous beasties—fae unearthly supernatural beings to murderously disturbed. Sa lock yer doors, check unner yer bed, turn oan aw tha lights, and get ready fur a pure dead mental, up-aw-night journey into the hert a’ darkness.

 It’s a creepypasta anthology full of modern urban legends and scary stories. I do enjoy the creepypasta book it’s just that it is quite terrifying. I do get quite feart but I enjoy it.

Afterwards I translated the Broons into English.

Come on, you lot! Put your old clothes in this case for the bramble picking trip!

Why can we not just wear our old clothes to the cottage?

Because you’re not going down Glebe street dressed in rags that’s why!

Away for the weekend, Mrs Brown?

Er…Yes, we’re just taking a break up at our country cottage.

Here we are. We’d better turn in early tonight. We’ll be up at the crack of dawn for the berries tomorrow morning.

Rise and shine everybody! Lets get to picking brambles.

Is that a berry bug down there?

No, it’s just the kid!

Just as well we’ve got our old clothes on. Eh Maggie?

I finished my day with a bit of Sumdog spelling. It was very easy because it gave me quite easy words to spell.

I hope you all had a great day and stay safe!

Hello team Holywood!!!

This is an experiment to show you how important it is to wash your hands. For the experiment you will need: a bowl of cold water, ground black pepper and hand soap.

The black pepper represents the bugs and viruses so you can see that they stick to your hands if you only wash them with water.

When you put soap on your hands the bugs will run away from your hands. Have a go yourself!

bye bye.M

Dear President Biden

I think that you should not drill for oil in the Arctic because it will kill off the wildlife such as the arctic foxes, polar bears, seals and reindeer. This means that there will be nothing for the people in the artic to survive on and nothing to pull their sledges.  Without animals, tradition dies off.  The animals will become extinct.

Having animals in the Arctic encourages tourism. The tourists will bring money to the native people in the Arctic too. Animals are also good for education for people who do not live in the Arctic.

Please think again about allowing the oil drilling to go ahead.

Kind regards

Today I read both the poems, I really liked them both as they were really funny,  I have wrote down what I think the words mean and I have drew a picture of the crocodile.

I have also read ‘A dug’ and I’m going to have a think what to write for a wee poem tomorrow.

I did some fractions and sums and after lunch I got my tub out the freezer and added more water and some ground almonds, the ice came away from the bottom of the tub and floated a bit in the new water but I’ve put it back in the freezer now to see what happens.

In this world, th’ rules dinnae mak’ sense, bit courage ‘n’ creativity goes a lang wey. Thare ur forests tae explore, hidden underground tunnels tae loot, ‘n’ undead mobs tae defeat. Ainlie then wull th’ secrets o’ th’ island be revealed.

 

And there you have it! I have not mentioned this book before, but it is a good one! See ya!

Oil drilling is TERRIBLE for the planet and its definitely not good for all those animals especially the polar bears because their ice bergs are already melting and that means they have even less space to hunt themselves! We know we shouldn’t be doing this and we do it anyways. You have to admit, humans are selfish. They only think about themselves. What about the other animals? How would you feel if you were a polar bear and first the ice starts melting, because of humans, global warming is happening BECAUSE of humans and we should never do something that only benefits us, but also benefits other creatures no matter how small or deadly. The world needs us to fix what we started and this is NOT a good start. Someday in the future I hope that we all realise how horrible we have been, and actually HELP the animals to thrive in their home places.  Every single animal is thankful to you for not littering, not burning plastic and saving them from bad situations. I have saved many animals in my life. I have save 3 crows, a  baby water vole, a robin, a great tit, pigeon, a baby pheasant, 8 baby hedgehogs a house martin and a lot more. It feels amazing when you think to yourself, “I have just saved a life” And you could save many others lives by not supporting the terrible things we do, like cutting down rainforests, fracking, hurting animals and bugs, littering, putting your garbage into the ocean. Not supporting all these activities will be better for everyone. And and being nicer to the planet in general. Another reason why oil drilling is horrible is because (my brother told me this) when we spill oil while doing this, animals get themselves into it by mistake and try to clean it off, and get oil in their mouths and die. It’s just SAD. You help the planet, you help everyone. Thats only one of the ways that can harm them. They drill oil to get fuel for cars and trucks and when they do this, the cars and trucks burn the oil causing carbon dioxide to float into the atmosphere. And it is of because global warming which causes polar bears ice bergs to melt. I hope you understand.
