Day: February 11, 2021

Well done for reading 400+ books on EPIC! It’s great to see some of you sharing the books you have enjoyed on the blog – keep up the fantastic reading effort everyone!

Tomorrow morning at 10am we have our live Book Blether on Teams. Bring along a book you are reading at the moment or a book you have recently finished and tell us a little bit about it.

This week, I would also like you to think of a question you would like to ask your fellow Book Bletherers. It could be a question about a book they are currently reading, for example “What is the most exciting thing that has happened so far in your book” or you could ask a general book related question like “Who is the best book villain EVER?”.

You will have a chance to talk about your books and ask questions during the chat. Look forward to seeing you there!

Hello, Tanith and Caspian here.

(Tanith’s Area) Today we have been listening to Wellerman, I love it so much its a really cool song and one remix video has a white cat moving it’s head to the rhythm. We have learnt all the types of the song.  Mama and Mark learnt the song with us. We also learnt how to keep rythmn by tapping our feet and clapping. I like the first version best as it is how it was meant to be.

(Caspian’s Area) Hi! We have been listening to the Wellerman song that became a huge colab on TikTok. The origin of this shanty is where a crew was trying to capture a whale to sell it for sugar tea and rum. Apparently the whale did not let go or give in to the harpoon rope and the crew are still chasing it to this day.  We also researched how shanties came into being. They are working songs used on sailing ships to help the sailors work and stick to a rhythm. I like the remix best as it is a more modern version.

(Tanith)Goodbye everyone see you next time smile every day stay safe and happy bye!

 

Hi Everyone, I completely forgot to say that I planned for today’s Big Thursday STEM activity of “almost-inventions” because today is National Inventors’ Day in America.  The reason 11th February was chosen to be National Inventors Day is because it is the birthday of the inventor Thomas Edison. He patented over 1000 inventions. Feel free to investigate what his inventions were and post a reply on the blog!

 

Have you ever looked at someone and wondered what is going on in side they’re head?  🙃

Simba chose to play not with his toy but with a parsnip 😂

My plate wouldn’t work cause it is made of ice cream.

 

Hunting tools that would not work because they are made from cardboard.

 

 

My spear did not work because it is made of paper.

This book  is fun for people who like dangerous books.

 

 

So I single handedly built a submarine (using instructions carefully) and there was more than a submarine to build. So the new Lego challenge will be a submarine.
