Hello everybody! Its Cleo. Today I will be talking about what I learnt in Stem. The days we do stem is on Thursday and a Thursday is a fun day for our school because on a Thursday we can wear old clothes and have a fun day. So we do stem on a Thursday. So in stem we have learnt about floods and earthquakes. I will be telling you what causes a flood. The causes for a flood is ice melting, heavy rain making the water rise and the other one I can think of is tsunamis. There is many different kind of strengths in a flood. You have the really strong ones to carry away a house and the ones that are just a little flood were its not as strong as the other. I recommend you  research more about them. That’s all for now.                                                                                        By Cleo

Hello Its Cleo. Today I will be talking about everything I have learnt about Victorian times and knights and everything like that. First ill talk about armor. The oldest armor is about 3,000 years old. There’s two armors I know and that’s chain mail and chest armor I’m sure. We do still have armor today we just don’t really use it. There is about seven or six parts to a horses armor. Now ill be talking about Victorian schools and what they were like back then. What you would do is go into the school and the would hear a bell and you would head into class and the teacher would ask you to stand in a line. You have to call the teacher sir and I didn’t like that bit about my experience. The teachers are very stricked and very loud. Anyways when your in a line he will tell you to march facing the front then face the left, face the back, face the right and face the front again. If you don’t do it good enough you will be asked to do it again. The girls and the boys are separated. Boys in one line and girls in another. Also the boys and girls have to sit on separate. We would have lack boards instead of paper or white boards or anything we use now a days in school. Well that’s all for today people!

Hello everybody its Cleo. I’m going to be telling you all about when we went to New Lanark on Friday. It was an awesome place! New Lanark is were children went  to school in Victorian times and also were they lived. It was about a 1 hour drive. When we got there we went down to were the school was and we all heard a bell go. we went up stairs and there was a man pretending to be a teacher from back then. He was very stricked and the boys and girls were separated. We had black boards instead of paper. I was a little bit scared of him but I got used to it. After we went to this place were there was a ride! It was were this voice from this little girl would tell you about what they done in the Victorian times. Apparently there was ghosts and spirits in that room and I’m a big fan of ghosts and spirits. Then we went for some lunch and played in the park! When everybody finished there lunch we went in the houses to see what they were like and we went to the shop to buy some things and then we went back to school. By Cleo!

Hello its Cleo. Today I will be talking about Caerlaverock Castle. So last Friday we went to Caerlaverock Castle! I was really excited and happy when we got there. We were all put in to different groups. I was in Miss. Patty’s group along with Harry, Josie,  Joe,  Freddie, Kohdie and Analies. We had a booklet with many different fun activities! The first activate we had to do was take pictures of the castle from the outside and also get a picture of us standing in front of the castle. We all took turns of the pictures and a lot of the pictures looked lovely. The second task was pick up different objects and look at them carefully. There was different objects for example arrows, cups and spoons. All the different objects looked amazing. I wonder how old they are. The third task was pretend its night time and sneak up on the castle like your about to sneak attack the castle. We also had to do it were its day and we shout CHARGE and charge at the castle much louder than before. Well that’s all for today! Bye! By Cleo

Hi Guys Its Cleo. On Friday the whole school went on a educational trip. We went to Ellisland Farm. Ellisland is where Robert Burns lived along time ago. Anyways I will be talking about the experience I had there and what we done. When we first got there we went into to this area were we watched a movie about Robert Burns. It was telling us about his life and what he done on the farm. When the movie finished we all got a piece of paper and we had to get in partners but it was an unequal number so I done it alone. What we had to do is find different animals and write down what there name was when Burns was alive. I can remember some of the animals that we had to find. There was a fox, a mouse, a deer, a badger and I’m sure there was a rabbit. Well that’s all for now ill say the rest another time. By Cleo!

Today was sports day!!!!! Now for those who don’t know what sports day is its basically where you do different sporty fun stuff like skipping, running, the monkey crawl, sac race and the big running thing where you go through different obstacle courses. The race I won was the running race and I came third in the monkey crawl. We also had ice lollies for when we had a break and also when we had a break we had some fun activities  you could do with your parents but nobody came to watch me or Rory my little brother so we just were doing activities with our friends. It was a lot of fun and it was my first time doing it.

Today we were making burgers for Burger Night. Only the P5s were doing it because the 6/7 were on a trip and the others are busy. We made beef burgers, turkey burgers and vegetarian burger. It will be 5 to  7 I think as in time not by class because every class is doing it. The vegetarian burgers were the hardest ones to do because we used gluten free flour and it didn’t really work. I’m going to try out the turkey burgers but I’m also going to have the beef burger because beef burger are my favorite.  The easiest burger to make was the beef burger. I’m so excited for tonight.

We had to  finish of work then we had ice-cream before snack, we done math‘s then we done pie face basically if you had a joke you would go to the front and say the joke and then get pied in the face. After lunch we did more pie face then we watched funny movies and they were quit funny. Then it was home time!

 

On Thursday with Miss. Brocydonald  we went out in the woods to make dens for survival. I was working with Dakota, Lewis, Ebony and Orla. We used a rope and a green cover thing. It was my 1st time doing that  kind of stuff and I loved it.  We kept making the rope very loose so we had to keep on taking it apart and putting it back together. At the end we went inside and we could all fit in. It was amazing. We weren’t going to sleep in the woods. We where just building dens.                                        By Cleo
