Hi guys. Its Cleo. Its been quite a busy week for us but I will be focusing more on Wednesday . So we started with wake up shake up as usual. All we really did for wake up shake up were like lunges, star jumps and more exercises like that. After we done wake up shake up we moved on to Spanish familia’s. Here’s a picture of what i done! Fue duro pero divertido! (It was hard but fun!) After some Spanish we moved on to reading books. So far I am on chapter 5.I am enjoying The House With The Chicken Legs.  Its kind of creepy but a good book to me. Then i went on hit the button to do a challenge from Miss. Stapleton. The scores i got were 21 , 22, 32, 31, 33, 31, 27 and 29. It was kind of hard trying to beat 33. That’s all for now! I hope you guys have had a lovely week.

Hello everybody! Its Cleo. I am going to be talking about our praying mantises.

There are many different types of praying mantis. We have a Blue Malaysian mantis and a Chinese mantis (Hes the one in the bottom left corner!) They will both grow to about 9cm but you get some smaller species too.

Mantis eat other insects. While they are little fruit flies are the best as they are small and non-harmful. They use their front legs called raptors to grab their  pray!

We need to mist their enclosures once a day as they like a certain  level of humidity.

I like them because they do a little dance and the reason they do this little dance is to check out their surroundings.

Hello everybody! Its Cleo back with another blog! I hope you are all doing well on this fine Tuesday. I HAVE SOME BIG PET NEWS! Mummy’s mantises came today! It all started when i woke up and got on my PC to watch youtube or entertain myself and i suddenly saw Mummy come in with a big boxes which said ” FRAGILE! “I started screeching ” IS IT THE MANTIS IS IT IS IT? ” Then when Mummy opened it she saw not one but TWO MANTISES! I was shocked like WHAT?! She only ordered one but they gave us two because they were to kind. We got a bigger one and a smaller one. The breed of the smaller one was the Chinese mantis and the bigger one was the Malaysian blue mantis. Iv’e got to say the Malaysian blue mantis is very SPEEDY and mantises are suppose to be quite calm. The Chinese mantis was shy and calm but still attacked quite vicious. Before we put them in there little places for the morning of school we spent a few minutes looking for twigs to puts in the mantises containers so they had things to at least climb on. When I started playing sumdog whenever Mummy went downstairs for something I would just stare at the mantises and when i was staring the went upside down and the smaller one just sad there but thew bigger one walked around in circles! When it got to lunch i helped Mummy transfer the mantises into there new little houses and all the would do is just stare at you! It was sooo cute! Then later on Mummy let me hold them and the bigger one just SPED across my hand like it was the flash! The bigger one would also look at Mummy’s phone when she tried taking pictures. It would also try to grab it! The smaller one was a bit more shy and calm whilst the bigger one tried beating my thumb up! That’s all there really is about the mantises today! Also today was my Daddies birthday! We had a great day today and i hope you all did to! I will put picture of them up tomorrow that we took today!

Hello guys! Its Cleo back with another blog! Today i will be talking about what I did on my first day of home school. So as usually Mummy had to wake me up because I am to sleepy every morning. I watched videos and other type of entertainment while playing then i went to get myself a drink while Mummy made my pancakes! When i drank my drink and ate my pancakes i was called down to do wake up shake up. Now for wake up shake up we all picked a song each and was forced to dance… I was really tired afterwards. Anyway Mummy told us what we were going to do for the start of the day! I started with reading a book which was “The House With Chicken Legs”. So far it is quite a good and fascinating book! Rory was busy playing sumdog. At the end i had to tell Mummy what happened in the book so far! When we both finished we had snack and Mummy had made these snack boxes as we cant just go and grab a snack. She picked out about 6 or 7 things to put in the boxes. She did clearly say ” You only have this for the day so don’t eat it straight away!” For snack I had juice and crisps! The juice was pear and apple and the flavour of the crisps were cheese and onion! After a bit of play and snack me and Rory both made drawings for our Daddy because tomorrow is his birthday! I drawn a turtle dragon from my favourite game and last night he came in my room and said he liked it so that is why i drew it! Rory drew the terminator and a xenomorph which is basically an alien. When it got to lunch i was busy watching youtube while Mummy was making lunch for us. For lunch we had to pick a snack to go with it. I chose sausage roll and Rory chose a chocolate biscuit I think but I had ketchup and cheese sandwich while Rory had cheese sandwich and we both had a carton of juice. When we finished lunch me and Rory switched over! Rory read a book and i played sumdog. We only done it for half an hour cause the rest of the half an hour was for watching a mantis video. it was only just facts about a mantis because as Mummy wanted a pet mantis and i wanted a pet jumping spider (they basically like the same things) so we came to an agreement and decided to get both so if the mantis comes tomorrow we might to a kind of topic on our mantis! When the video finished that was when the day was over! I cant wait to see what you all do tomorrow!

Hello everybody! Its Cleo. Today is Mothers day of course! We didn’t do much but we have had fun today! I will tell you about what we done today! So to start of my day I slept in very late and I never knew that my Gran was outside talking to my Mummy. So my Daddy came into my room and tried to wake me up but i was very sleepy as always so it was hard for him to wake me up! I did eventually wake up and when i did i ran downstairs to talk to my Gran. They were only there for a while because i slept in late but at least i got to see them. After talking to them for a while I was told we were going to the park. I refused to go because i was to tired but i got waffles so i go dressed and we all headed out to the park! Before we went to the park we had to pick up the Tesco order and Mummy accidentally bought four packets of crisps! After we picked up the shopping we headed to the park.  At first me and Rory were playing a wolf game together until i kind of got bored but Rory hurt him self many times because of him falling of things! Then he got angry at me for not playing with him because i love to go on the swings at the park so of course when i stopped playing i swung myself really high on the swing! Then we were called over because we had to go home. At home me and Rory had sausage rolls and cheese and onion crisps for lunch. It did take me quite a while to eat my lunch. After lunch Daddy and Rory came up stairs because me and Rory had to give Mummy the card I made for her for Mothers day! It was a cat card because we all love cats! On the front cover it said “Happy Mothers Day!”Then i decided to draw grumpy cat and put #GrumpyQueen at the side and at the bottom it said to the best cat queen. When we handed it to here she said she was offended of the #GrumpyQueen bit but she didn’t actually mean she was offended I think… but at least she liked the card! That’s all we really did today! I cant wait to see what you all write about in future time!

Hello. I’m Cleo and I will be talking about the science experiment we done on Monday. We did have some visitors. A teacher from NWCC and a teacher from Lincluden. They came to watch us do the experiment. We had to pretend that we were stranded on an island with not much to work with. We had to try clean the dirty water and take out the dirty particles but still be left with enough water to drink. The supplies we had to work with were pop socks, stones, sand and cotton wool. It was quite hard to get rid of the particles but we did get rid of them even though the water was still quite dirty looking. We did work in partners so it was still hard but not to hard. My partner was Josie. The supply we found the best working was the pop sock. We put it in the funnel and it worked perfectly! The one we found the worst was the sand. The sand made it very dirty and left particles in it. Near the end we were aloud to combine the supplies together. Me and Josie layered the supplies to get much cleaner water. We put the pop sock at the bottom, the rock in the middle then cotton wool at the top. We Found it cleaner because it was a bit lighter and a bit more clear with no particles. That’s all for now!

Hi its Cleo. I will be talking about rocks with my friend Daisy! The three types of rock sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous. We  were also learning about Earths core. The 4 things that are in the core is the inner core, outer core, the mantle and the crust which we live on. The sedimentary rocks get blown away by the wind and get took away by ocean waves. Igneous is made by dried up magma and dried up lava. Metamorphic can create one rock to another through pressure. Sedimentary turns to limestone and limestone creates glass. Igneous makes granite for houses. Metaphoric makes marble which is used for sculpting. Weathering is quite amazing because it can do many things to rocks. In the desert rocks heat up in sun and expand but during the night the rocks shrink down, although when it rains the rock starts to crack or even split. Water and Nature can also split/crack rock only differentially, Water can slide through the cracks of a rock and when it gets really cold it freezes and expand therefor splitting the rock. Although when nature splits a rock it is usually caused because of the roots that spread out and crack the rock!

Hi its Josie and im going to be talking about the…Winter holidays! its a really fun and festive time of year in fact its favourite time of year. My favourite part of it is when you walk downstairs and you see Santa ate all the mince pie and drank all the milk and you see all the presents under the tree. Or Christmas dinner that’s one of my favourite parts. Its also very and I mean very cold! before Christmas it was about -1 degrees. It was also time to open presents I got a big desk and an amazon alexa.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Hi everybody it Cleo now. I will be talking about what I done on Christmas day. First in the morning I heard Christmas music playing and I found out my Mummy was playing the music on her phone to wake us up. When Daddy woke up we got dressed and went done to get a buffet breakfast. The reason we got a buffet breakfast is because we were in a hotel. I had about 6 or more plates of food. After breakfast we opened the presents. I remember getting a spider robot I have to build from Mummy and Daddy. After opening the presents we waited a while and then my Daddy noticed Santa’s reindeer outside. When we were about to go outside we noticed Santa inside but me and Rory were to shy to say hello. So we only went to see the reindeer. They were adorable! One of them has one antler and one was white. After the reindeer we went back into the room and me  Mummy and Rory decided to go swimming. There was a big slide in one of the pools that wasn’t open at first but then it opened up. After swimming we went to the room and got ready for going to the cinema. At the cinema we decided to watch the new star wars movie. It was a blast. After the movie we went to the room watched some TV and me and Rory also played games. After all of that we all went to sleep.                                                                                                                                                                                     By Cleo And Josie!
