Hi all, Caspian is back.
Today I did the usual, maths, spelling, literacy and my work on Percy Fawcett. I also had a video call with my home teacher, Mr Laidlaw. We did half an hour of maths, decimal number bonds, and some division and multiplication with decimals. I have been told tomorrow I will be doing some literacy on the class book.
Ciao!!!(Italian I believe)
Hi all, Caspian is back.
Today I have done some spelling and also continued with some science on magnetic force. Today’s “Main Project” is the one in the title. I have read the story of Percy Fawcett and have written 20 things for an explorer to pack for an adventure:
That is all for now, bye!!!!
Hi all, Caspian is back!
I started today by working on my spellings – I like finding new and difficult words as I write a lot of my own stories and don’t want them to sound like every other writer. My latest story is top secret until I have finished it and agreed for it to be published.
I had some maths which were a refresher on decimal partitions, long multiplication and correctly identifying numbers in the millions which mum called out to me so I could write them down in words.
I watched Newsround – the top stories were about the Covid vaccine (phew), a Brazilian emu family, and the free style kite event, also in Brazil.
I started reading The Explorer by Jacqueline Wilson. I read up to the chapter titled The River. I thought it well written in places, detailed and very dramatic in terms of the story but the character did not seem well described which actually confused the story line.
Mum spoke to our new teacher today and we are starting our virtual lessons on Wednesday.
huuguughghg huuguughghg! (Goodbye in Wookie)
Hi all, Caspian is back.
Hi all, Caspian is back.
Today I did a comprehension on Europe (Named after the Greek Goddess Europa) and continued with some maths. Later on I did some work on the Vikings. I have watched some more Sherlock Holmes to find out more about the Edwardian period and I would like to start a lesson on dinosaurs soon because there is still so much to explore about that fascinating prehistoric period.
Ciao! (Italian)
Hi all, Caspian is back.
Today I did some maths and spelling followed by electric circuits for science. I am also going to do a crystal geode experiment with Mark later. At dinner, we watch Sherlock Holmes to find out more about the Edwardian period. I have been looking up and reading more about marine biology.
Toodle-Oo! (Londoner’s language)
Hi all, Caspian is back.
Today I have done 120 speed maths questions and learnt about the Kon-Tiki Expedition. Originally I thought this was a quest set out to find the mythical island creature, the Tiki. I have written a report on the mission down below:
The Kon-Tiki Expedition was set out to prove that, even with their ancient tools, the Ancient Peruvians could get to the “New World” hundreds of years before Christopher “I take all the credit” Columbus. They were a crew of 5 Norwegians, a Swede and a parrot called Lorita. The leader of the expedition was Thor Hyerdahl and the rest of the crew were Knut Haugland, Torstein Raaby, Hermes Watzinger, Bengt Danielsson, and Erik Hesselberg. Their rations were sweet potatoes, fruits and roots to last them 3 months, although not altering how seasick they got at times. Nevertheless, they made it successfully and have been recorded in history.
That’s all from me today so Tot ziens!!! (Dutch)
Hi all, Caspian is back!
Ive been very busy this week, doing maths, biology, spelling, comprehension and science.
Here is a passage I wrote about a fictional attack, in present tense.
They have come. Our small town of Achapuchu is no use against the man-horses with the flaming wands striking us dead. Their water-house has eyes more powerful than the wands, they are destroying our homes! As the horsemen chant, I feel pain. Oh, they have cornered me. I am most likely the worst king of Achapuchu. I accept my fate now as… urgh!
See ya!
Hi all, Caspian is back!
I have not been blogging for a few days because I have been learning and researching a lot. I have researched: The Spanish Armada, The Vikings, Temperature, and tried out my spelling skills. I did a spelling test and got 19/20, I spelt fulfil as fulfill. I also did a maths test and got 10/10. In the Spanish Armada comprehension I did I did well as my Mum said and in my temperature I got quite a few correct questions. I have been doing more maths questions than I can remember. Its been a great few days!
The Vikings spread throughout Europe in 800 AD;
They took direction from the stars;
King Cnut ruled Denmark, England and Norway. He compared himself to God but when he tried to control the waves, obviously they did not obey;
Vikings gave their swords names;
They were termed berserkirs – warriors who got wound up for battle;
They boiled their water by inserting hot stones;
Viking children learned how to ride horses and boys had to be ready for battle by the time they reached 16;
They thought the end of the world was the edge of the ocean;
The days of the week which still have Viking names are Wednesday Woden, Thursday Thor, Friday Frida.
Father Christmas was originally the god Yule which is where we get Yuletide from;
I have written my name in runes but the Viking alphabet does not have a C and a P so I am Asian.
That’s all for now, zài jiàn ！！！(That’s Chinese for “Goodbye!!!”)
Hi all, Caspian is back!
I have been on Sumdog today. I will definitely join the challenge which starts on 13 November.
I have done some comprehension work today – The Cave. I wrote two poems about the beach:-
Bright
Excellent
Awesome
Chill
Hot
The beach,
not to be bleached,
full of wonder,
lovely to ponder,
occasional jellyfish,
not to be eaten on a dish,
that is my story,
I believe half gory.
Bye.
