This afternoon we watched Newsround. There are people who found dinosaur fossils on a beach in North Alaska. They would have grown up to 30 feet, and it would have lived in the dark a lot of the time. They were plant eaters and they had duck beaks for mouths.
There were also cleaners who go up high buildings and statues. They use special pressure washers and they have to climb up with really strong ropes. Jack and James quite fancy doing that for a job. Ethan and Miss Stapleton don’t think we’d like the height.
One of the other stories was about people on school buses getting bullied. If someone is bullying you, go and talk to someone about it.
you need to control the line .
let the kite fly the line has to be long enough .
to get a kite to fly you need to run and hold and let it go also you need wind.
1 it has to be windy but not to windy.
2 don’t fly a Kite near trees.

There’s a man who can fly in the sky like a bird or a plane using jet propelled wings. He is called Jet Man. He is from the USA and he is a fully trained pilot. Please do not try this at home!!!
There were more frogs on Newsround again this week. This time, an endangered frog from Cameroon has been bred in captivity in London Zoo. This is a good thing because it means we are saving the species.
Also there was a Lynx which is now endangered. People killed it for its fur, and also to stop it killing farm animals. They are having a debate about if we should do something about it.
There has been an earthquake in Nepal. Mount Everest is in Nepal, and it has made avalanches. Over 3000 people have been killed. People from other countries are trying to help them.
Tune in next week for more Newsround stories! by P1-4
Newsround today was mostly about the General Election. This is when 18s and over can vote for who they want to be our new prime minister of the UK. P1-4 didn’t think it was the most exciting Newsround but we had a talk about how important it is to the country. There were children interviewing Nicola Sturgeon who is the SNP leader.
Then we went and watched a clip about a new species of frog that has been discovered. It is see-through. It is called a glass frog, and you can see its organs inside it. It is not made of glass though. The frog lives in Central America so we probably won’t see it in our garden.
After that we watched the Strange, Stranger, Strangest video. The first story was about a gorilla that walks on two legs like us. The second video was about a chimpanzee hitting a drone down from the air with a stick and investigating it. The last story was about a new chef robot that can cook us dinner, but you have to use some special gloves to work it. We can’t buy it yet and it will cost loads of money when we can so we are not sure if we want one.
We have been watching Newsround again. There was a really big storm called Cyclone Pam. It has torn down trees and smashed houses. Some bricks and houses have been torn apart. The wind has blown off roofs. The people there need food and clean water and new homes. They also need medicine, and socks and pants and pyjamas! Different countries are sending them help, like Britain.
In a country called Syria there is a war. People have been fighting each other and some people have escaped. They went to other countries beside Syria like Jordan and Lebanon. They live in camps, and they are starting to get to go to school. We think this will make them happier, and we think its good because they will get to learn new words and they will learn to write like us.
People are going to the beach to see what has been thrown or ended up in the water. They have found plastic bags, bottles, lids from Smarties tubes, and little toys. We already knew about this because Emily brought a man who has the same job as the lady on Newsround and he talked with us. He had found lots of rubber ducks, and footballs. It is bad because fish and sharks and turtles might think they are food and eat them. They might end up poorly or they might die.
6 people were stuck on the top of a rollercoaster for three hours in Australia. The fire engine came and had to help them down. Miss McGregor says she got stuck at the top of the PepsiMax for 2 hours. She says it wasn’t that scary. All the people were OK and got down safely.
We are starting to watch Newsround and find out a bit about what is going on in the world of science.
There is a baby orang-utan that was rejected by its mum in Berlin, and has come to Dorset Zoo. We all think it is really cute.
There is a sea in Kazakhstan called the Aral Sea, it has shrunk and almost vanished. The fish in it died. People moved away because there was no fishing so they needed new jobs. They have built a dam to try and save it. The water level is already getting higher again so hopefully this will work.
Scientists are trying to build parking spaces in space! They are putting cables on to the International Space Station so astronauts can park when they go up to visit. They hope that they will be able to use them by 2017.
In Britain people want to start using the tide to make electricity to power our homes. It would be clean energy which we think would be good, but fisherman are worried it might effect fish in the river. We might ask Emily from Fishing for the Future what she thinks when she’s next in.
This week we have been learning all about melting and freezing! We did and experiment to see what temperature water has to be before it freezes. We put it outside and in the fridge but they weren’t cold enough. Only the water we put in the freezer froze. Then we tried putting ice in different places to see how fast we could melt it. We found out that the warmer places made it melt faster. The best place was on the radiator. Mrs. Queen had a piece in her hand – it melted quickly but she felt pretty chilly!
We have also been learning about Jesus. He was the son of God. We have found out some things about him but we have lots of questions, we wonder whether any mums or dads can answer them?
Isla would like to know, if God was his dad who was Joseph to him?
Euan wants to know how old was he when he died and how do we know?
Georgia would like to know who was his very best friend?
Where did he live for most of his life?
Paul wonders how he got out of the tomb he was put in after his crucifixion?
Does anybody have any answers to any of our questions? Please reply if you do! Thanks from P1-3
