Hi everyone
Rory here again. This is my comic using the character I described in my last blog. The story begins where my last blogs back story ended – Citron returns to fight Vulcan!
I have also done a close up design of his outfit.
This has been one of my favourite home school tasks.
Bye for now!
Rory

Hi everyone
Rory here.
I looked the words up in the dictionary and made some sentences. Here they are.

1.  Upon completion of my school work I will get to go and play.
2. While in the playground I saw a collision between Kohdie and Carson.
They both hurt their heads.
3. Home schooling has some limitations because we don’t have everything a school has.
4. Mummy ran frantically around the house trying to get us ready for school.
5. I asked my cat what’s the purpose of your whiskers?
6. I broke an ornament and it put me in a bad situation.
7. I humbly ask you to stop thumping your feet.

I also started working on my super hero.  I would like to share my description of his powers, his suit, his back story and his arch enemy.  I will make my comic strip soon.

My hero’s name is Vulcan. He is a human who gained the power of a volcano. These powers include creating fire, lava, heat vision, earth quakes, fire rain and flying.
Before getting his powers Vulcan was an explorer. He was searching for the worlds biggest volcano but fell into a cave. In the cave he found a floating ball of lava. He touched the lava ball and it knocked him out. When he woke up he was on fire and discovered his new abilities. He made this cave into his base and designed it to look cool.
Vulcan spent the next few years being a super hero until one day a new bad guy came from space to cause trouble. His name was Citron. Citron was made of liquid metal. Vulcan fought Citron and chased him from earth.
They came to a planet called Griffin and the people who lived there were griffins too. They helped Vulcan by giving him a magic sword. The sword could go on fire and would come back if Vulcan threw it like Thor’s hammer.
Vulcan defeated Citron using the sword and then buried him in lava.
Years later people mining on Griffin found Citron’s skeleton and it came back to life. He flew away from Griffin to look for Vulcan and to get his revenge.

I’ve also designed his outfit, but you will see that in the comic.

I’m off to work on Sumdog now.
Bye for now

Hi there
Rory here.
We went into the garden to have a look at plants and talked about what is a flowering and non-flowering plant. Here is an example of a flowering plant from our garden.

Here is an example of a non-flowering plant from our garden.

We then talked about the parts of a plant. I got my big outdoor chalks and drew a diagram outside with the labels.

Bye for now.

Hi there everyone. Rory here.
Just giving an update.
I’ve been working hard on my maths as usual. I’ve been doing Sumdog, but also practising things I have learned in the last few weeks like my big number addition. I also started the first part of halving numbers yesterday. Some of these were bigger numbers than I had halved before so I learned how to divide by 2.

I did some reading on Epic yesterday before starting a new book. I think I am going to be reading a Horrible Histories book about Vikings. I have done the first word cookie and made sentences with the words I found. Mummy found it funny that I could spot the word eight myself but needed some help spotting the word it. Here are my sentences :
I hit the ball over Cleo’s head.
Toilet paper is white.
There was eight people in the shop buying food.
My Daddy needed to get milk from the shop.
I have never worn a tie.
It was really dark at night.
It is hard when playing tig and you are the tagger.
Twigs are really skinny bits of stick from a tree.
I said hi to one of my friends.
The sun was bright up in the sky.
I played a game with my friends.

I also did a 15 minute quick writing this morning about a genie giving me 3 wishes.
I met a genie and he gave me 3 wishes. I wished for a car that I could drive because I don’t want to wait until I’m eighteen. Another one of my wishes would be to get every single video game I have ever wanted. This is because I love video games and they are one of my favourite things ever. My last wish would be for the coronavirus to be gone and quarantine to be over because I miss all my friends.

Going to do a bit more Epic reading right now and then it will be time for more maths. This afternoon we are going to label parts of plants and find out about flowering and non-flowering plants.

Hope everyone has a good day. Bye for now
Rory.

Rory’s review of Ottoline and The Yellow Cat

Author : Chris Riddell
Favourite Character : Mr. Munroe
Why? : I like the way he looks and I like it when his hair is messy
Favourite Part : When Mr. Munroe pretends to be a dog and he’s put on a lead by a bear in disguise to save him.
Did you like how it ended? yes because it was happy : )
Overall thoughts on the book : I really enjoyed this book because the characters are interesting. For example I found the yellow cat interesting because she was a clever thief and she was human sized and wore human clothes. I also liked it because there was lots of funny parts. I found the illustrations really good because they had little notes attached. 

Hi everyone
Rory here. Just a quick post to show you my manga drawings from Thursday. I did one of Goku from Dragon Ball Z and then I drew myself.

I’ve just finished some 15 minute quick writing so here it is.

One of my favourite tv shows is The Magic School Bus.
My favourite characters are Carlos and Ralphie.
There is more than one The Magic School Bus. There is The Magic School Bus Rides Again and the Magic School Bus.
I like the Magic School Bus Rides Again more because the graphics are better and the episodes are better.
In my favourite episode they go back in time and become dinosaurs so Tim could learn about fossils and they saw how life began.
It is one of my favourite shows because it tells you facts and general knowledge and also because there is a magic school bus.

Now I am going to read Ottoline and the Yellow Cat.
Have a good day everyone.
Rory

Hi everyone
Hi Miss Brockie-Donald – I’m OK, just really missing all my friends and the playground.

I’ve been working hard on my maths again. I’ve been doing the subtractions that are on our sheet. I’ve been learning about needing to borrow a one to help work them out. I’ve also been trying to do my Sumdog challenge. I’ve been trying hard to be accurate. This one has been tricky.

I learned about life cycles. We watched some videos and I drew a life cycle of a butterfly. I really liked doing this and want to do more life cycles! I learned about inherited characteristics yesterday and we did the monster task. This is my picture of the parents and the baby monsters. I am going to give the puppy task a go this afternoon.

I’m still reading Ottoline and the Yellow Cat but today I took a break from it and read 2 books that Nana gave us that have tasks in them about tricky words. I’ll do the tasks tomorrow.

Yesterday I did spelling as part of literacy. I got 9 out of 10. Then wrote a sentence for each word. I also did some creative writing for literacy this morning. Here it is –

I was Yoda and I was in Dagobah eating. Darth Vader came. I said leave you must and took out my light saber. I hit Vader’s saber. Darth Vader said join the dark side. Luke Skywalker’s x-wing landed. Luke took out his light saber and said he will not join you Vader. Then Emperor Palpatine came and he shot lightening out of his hands hitting Luke. Luke got knocked out. Yoda ran away.
Then I woke up!

Finally I’ve checked my bug hotel and so far we only have ants, snails and the odd spider moved in. I’m now going to watch an episode of Horrible Histories. Bye for now.
Rory

15 minute quick writing

My favourite super heroes are Spiderman, Thor, Hulk and Iron Man.
Spiderman’s webs are important and his best super power.
If I had super powers I would want them all to be the same as Spiderman. I want to be Spiderman.
Hulk is green and gets angry.
Aquaman lives in Atlantis.
Thor is the god of thunder.
Groot is a big human tree.
Antman can turn big and small.

Here is a picture I drew to go with my quick writing.

I also did a book on vertebrates at the end of last week. Here it is.

I’m now off to read my new book called Ottoline and the Yellow Cat.
Bye for now.
Rory

Hi everyone. It’s Rory.
Just a little blog to focus on maths. I realised there was things I was finding tricky. First of all my Sumdog challenge made me realise I needed to go over my shapes and their facts again.  Mummy made me a sheet of shapes and names and I had to match the names to their shapes. Then Daddy drew shapes and I had to name them. This was a good reminder for me and made my Sumdog challenge much better and I was able to complete it today.
I also struggled a little with adding when the numbers got bigger. Mummy said I kept forgetting to carry the one. I have been practising hard on this and Mummy has been giving me a lot of sums to try and help me remember to do this. I’ll keep this practice up.
I also did some French maths today. I had the sums written out in French words and I had to write the answers. I also had a list of numbers that I had to write in french words.
Bye for now
Rory

15 minute quick writing.

Random animal facts I know!
Giraffes fight with their necks.
Proboscis monkeys scare their predators and other proboscis monkeys by making a kerhonk noise.
Golden stuffed nosed monkeys have blue faces but they are not cold that is just their colour
Some jaguars are black.
Dolphins have their own language that is clicks and whistles
Owls do things called pellets that have the bones of the thing they ate.

My review of The Twits

Author : Roald Dahl
Favourite Character: Muggle-Wump
Why? because hes a monkey
Favourite Part? where the twits are calling each other mean things because its funny.
Did you like how it ended? yes because they shrunk and then all you saw was there clothes
Overall thoughts : i liked the fact that some of the characters from the enormous crocodile are in it.
