Hi

Today I listened to the music by Nathan Evans – Wellerman.

I really like this song. It has a good beat. I liked the remix one best as there was a violin and I thought the cat was funny and the different voices and people in it.  I like Tiktok alot so this was my favourite one. I tried to sing along but found it tricky. I had a go “keeping the beat” which was good fun too.

I have started my magazine cover. It’s a kids magazine about Butterflies mainly and also some other insects. I haven’t finished it yet but this is what it looks like so far.

I have been reading and we went to the park. The slide is my favourite as you go really fast.

Bye

 

This afternoon we all worked on music together in the hub. Here are some of our opinions.

Jack- I think the songs are catchy and it had a good beat.

Sarah- I think the beat was good when the other people joined in with the singing.

Brooke- I liked the violin.

James GM- I liked the original better because you hear all of the verses.

James G- I liked them both because they reminded me of a story that my brother told me about seeing a whale on holiday.

Bailey- The remix version was catchy.

Kaitlyn- I think this song is going to be stuck in my head for days.

Findlay- I think these songs are both awesome because I like the beat.

Miller- I liked doing the body percussion.

Larsson- I liked the original version but I didn’t like the clapping.

Olivia- I liked both versions but I prefer the remix because it is catchy and enjoyable.

Bruce- I liked both songs because they made me feel alive.

Carlay- I liked the remix version because the cat was funny in the video. I liked the bit when everyone joined in and I liked the beat.

Hi.
This is my Arctic comic. An Alien crashes in the Arctic and discovers some new and interesting things he has some questions about.

Bye for now

Hi it’s Erin

Today I have been listening to Sea Shanties. I preferred  the original song. The original  song, didn’t have as much music as the remix had more music.

The remix has more people singing it then the original.

I  also had a go at the singing and the rhythms.

It was fun.

 

 

 

Today I did some take away sums from the big sheet, I will do more of them tomorrow.

I wrote down where all Miss Dales items from her treasure map were and then I made my own map by using a big long ruler to get the grid made.  I wrote in my jotter where all the items in the grid were.

We played fruit explosion which was fun but we haven’t finished it yet.

I got my tub of ice from the freezer and added another layer, I put pepper on this time, It’s looking good!!

Can’t wait to make my choc Mars crispies tomorrow!

 

 

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!
