Hi! Caspian’s back!

Today I did some spelling and maths. I also did an experiment on seeing how fast yeast and sugar mix grows. Without sugar, the mix grows but not very quickly. With sugar, the mix grows much faster. Mix B contained sugar. The measuring stick is on the right in the picture. This is why I always put a teaspoon of sugar in my bread mix to help the dough prove.

We had a great walk by the river. Spring is definitely here.

Goodbye 😃

Hi! Caspian here.

Today I did some spelling and maths. We also went out to help Tanith with her bike riding skills. She did better than yesterday. I also did some work on famous walls of the past. (Around earlier than the 80’s.) Here are some facts:

1. The Sacsayhuaman wall was built to save the city of Cusco in Peru from storms. It is in a puma shape.
2. The Wailing Wall is a religious Jewish site.
3. Hadrian’s wall stretched over England’s border and took 6 years to build. It was the Roman Emperor Hadrian who ordered it was built. Along the wall were Roman fortlets, forts and temples dedicated to various gods. There is temple of Mithras on the wall at Carraburgh.
4. The walls of Ston are defensive walls in Croatia.
5. The Vietnam memorial wall holds the names of those who died in the war.

That’s all! Bye!

Hi all, Caspian is back!

We spent this morning on our bikes as we have been teaching Tanith to ride with her feet on the pedals. She managed today and then rode everywhere she could! We came back home in time for lunch and our calls with Mr Laidlaw. After my call, which didn’t last long as Teams was causing problems, I did some fraction work and I also created a new virus, the Robirus (scientific name: Robloxius Virisius). Its appearance is the Roblox logo and sticking out of it are some of the faces of Roblox characters such as the cursed winning smile. The Robirus strikes down people who don’t play Roblox. If you are lucky enough not to explode on infection, you get turned into a Roblox avatar and put in the game. For every infected human who enters the game, an antagonist of one of the famous Roblox games is released into our world. (e.g Piggy, Arsenal players, Bakon, Guesty, that stuff.)

Later on, I helped Tanith create a fungi microbe out of Playdoh. Also, Mum cut mine and Mark’s hair.

Farewell!

 

 

Hi all, Caspian is back!

I have decided to share my facts about the differences between the Arctic and the Antarctic as mum said she didn’t know some of the facts so I guessed others wouldn’t either.

1. Sled dogs are not allowed in Antarctica.
2. Worms are the only insects which exist in the Antarctic.
3. Some animals in Antarctica have antifreeze in their blood.
4. There are no reptiles in the Antarctic.
5. It has Ghost Mountains.
6. There are +300 lakes in the Antarctic.
7. The ice fish have no haemoglobin.
8. Antarctica has no ants.
9. The Antarctic has no time zone.
10. There was once a nuclear power station in the Antarctic.

I have also done some research about the writer Robert Browning.

1. He was foremost a poet.
2. He wrote the Pied Piper.
3. He was seen as wilfully obscure.
4. He wrote The Ring and the Book.
5. He wrote Dramatis Personae.
6. His poems had dark humour.
7. He was born in Walworth.
8. He was baptised 14 June 1812.
9. He died 12 December 1889.
10. For a time his career collapsed.

I have also done some work on microbes today and drawn a mural depicting World War Two. My great grandpa was captain of the Horsforth Home Guard and although I never met him, mum has told me lots of information about him.

Mum says we can spend tomorrow morning on our bikes as the weather is much nicer and we all want a bit more fresh air.

See ya!

Hi! Caspian here. I have done some maths and spelling today. I also have some work on Egypt. I have to do a mural of something important to me. (Which I’m still working on.) And write a blog about non-physical walls. Here are a few I know of:

1. Hitting the wall: Exhaustion.
2. Mental wall: Wanting to block something out of your memories.
3. Writers wall (Or is it Writers Block?): Unable to come up with content.
4. Physical wall: A wall of bricks. (That one is a joke.)

Anyway, thats all for now! Bye!

Hi all,

Sorry you couldn’t hear me on the call. Everything was fine on my second call today so I’m not sure what was wrong. Hopefully it will work next time.

I have written a story today. I hope you like it.

                   Rise Of The Infected  

 “Well, this is it. The last place Georgie Piggy was seen.” He heard someone trampling in bushes. “What was that sound?” He saw a Piggy family member holding a baseball bat. The officer was told if they saw a member of Georgie’s family that he should ask them about where Georgie might be. He noticed this member was the older sister, Penny. “Um…Penny? I have a few questions…” The officer started to question Penny. “For starters, why are you holding a baseball bat at the middle of the night?” Wait…She might have been watching the Premier League…. The officer thought. “Secondly, do you have any idea where Georgie is? Is there any places he might have gone to…?” The officer continued to question Penny. Penny just stood there, holding her baseball bat and twitching slightly. This is weird…Why isn’t she talking? And why are her eyes black? One is red… The officer was confused. He had never seen anything like this. And then, Penny lunged out and hit the officer on the head with her bat, knocking him out. “Where am I? I need to get out of here!” The officer said. He found a key, and used it on the colour coded door. He then found more, and eventually escaped. “Maybe I can get help at the station!” The officer said. 

He drove with the last of his cars fuel to the station. No one was there, but the speaker came on. “Attention! There is a monster in the station! Get to the garage now!” The officer noticed that voice, it was his friend Doggy’s voice. “I need to help Doggy now!” The officer said. But not too long later, while he was opening doors, Penny and Georgie’s mother started chasing after them. Eventually he got the gas and rode with Doggy down the road. “You were lucky I was here on my day off, my friend.” Doggy said. “And YOU were lucky I brought the gas, Doggy.” The officer responded. “Touche, touché.” Doggy replied.  

An hour later, they arrived outside the gallery. “We’re out of gas, and completely surrounded!” Doggy said. “Looks like we’ll have to go through the gallery.” The officer quoted. They were surrounded by a teacher, the Piggy family’s parents, and Sheepy, a friend of the Piggy family. “Phew! That was a close one!” Doggy said when they got outside. “Your detective skills could come in handy more than ever now!” Doggy told the officer. “Yeah, remember that arrest in the alleys? Being chased by Rash was hard to deal with!” The officer replied. “The forest could be safe enough for us. Lets go there!” Doggy said.  

A month later after they arrived at the forest, Doggy disappeared. The officer remembered seeing someone in a grey shirt and beret. He thought it was a horse or a Pony… Then he asked: “Doggy? Where are you!” He walked around trying to get a grasp on what happened. And then, Sheepy started chasing after him! “Oh no, not another infected!” He ran around opening things, when suddenly, he saw Doggy, wandering around, “Doggy? What happened to you?” Doggy had turned infected. The officer escaped, and saw a walkie talkie on the ground. It relayed a message. “Hello? Is anyone there?” The officer had heard that voice on TV before, but couldn’t put his finger on who it was. It relayed another message, “I need you to rescue my friend from the school. He went in, hoping to find something. But, the teacher who was surrounding him had followed him there. The officer ran and ran, and opened a door with an assortment of books. He saw a Bunny, she held a crossbow and knocked out the teacher. They ran to the escape, and met who was on the walkie talkie. It was around then he noticed Bunny had an eyepatch, and the person on the walkie talkie was Mr. P, a very rich man. He wore a monocle, a suit and a hat. There was a flower on that hat. A daisy to be exact. He also had a small, combed moustache. “Good, we have what we need.” Mr. P said. “I don’t feel too good.” The officer said, as he fainted. He woke up briefly, seeing Bunny transporting him somewhere on a hospital bed. “Don’t worry officer! We’ll help you!” Bunny said. He fell asleep again. He woke up firmly this time. “Where is everyone?” The officer asked. “On a helicopter on the roof. It’s not safe here anymore” Bunny said. The officer could see that, because the main doctor, Beary, had got infected! The surgeon Katie might have got out in time. When they got on the roof, they saw no helicopter. Just a note that said: I’m sorry. But this is for our own good. ~Mr. P 

“You coming Bunny? I think we’ll have a better chance of getting out in the metro, they have trains after all!” The officer shouted to Bunny, who was still reading the note. “Yeah, coming” She replied.  

Once they got into the metro, Bunny laid down her crossbow and sat down by a pillar. “I need to rest a little.” Bunny said. “OK! But I will need to use your crossbow in case we come by any infected. And sure enough, there was an infected. A Zompiggy. “Oh great!” The officer said, knocking out Zompiggy, and opening the train. “Bunny, are you coming with me?” The officer asked. “Mr. P gave me a potion, I drank it…” Bunny started. “Bunny…Come with me we can still stop him!” The officer interrupted. “No, I’m becoming infected, you continue and stop Mr. P.” Bunny replied. “Okay…” The officer said his goodbyes and took the train to Mr. P’s carnival. “You better be ready  

Mr. P. I’m coming for you.” The officer said sternly. He opened the doors, and a clown working at the carnival who was infected, started chasing him. Then he opened a cage with an infected inside, that one seemed not to mind him, like when Doggy got infected. He grabbed the white key from in the cage, and escaped. “Mr. P, I’m here to- Who are you?!” There were 2 people standing there. A Pony, and a zebra. “Uh, Zizzy? Are they infected?” The Pony asked. “Pony, the infected don’t talk!” The zebra said. “Right, I knew that!” The Pony replied. “I’m Zizzy, and this is Pony. Who might you be?” Zizzy asked. She was a zebra in a purple dress, and hat with magenta feathers. Pony was wearing a dark green jacket, with an orange shirt, and blue trousers. He wore a beanie and wore glasses. Wait a minute…That Pony guy…HE INFECTED DOGGY IN THE FOREST! The officer thought. “I’m-…I can’t remember my name. This infection…It made me lose my memory slightly…But you can call me officer!” The officer said. “Oh look, they have a friend too!” Pony said. The infected from the cage had wandered in. “Thats no friend, that’s one of them!” Zizzy said. Pony knocked it out with his wooden sword. Zizzy picked up her fencing foil. “Lets go to our safe house!” Pony said. “We can talk about each other there!” They had got to the city. “Why is your gate on fire?” The officer asked. “One time someone broke the fence, and the infected wandered in. I don’t know who it was though. I think it was some people in grey shirts and berets.” Pony said. “I saw you in a uniform like that in the forest. You infected my friend Doggy.” The officer pointed out. “Let’s just get in!” Zizzy said to stop the fight.  

Once they got in, they started talking about their former jobs. “I was trying to become an optometrist, like my father.” Pony said. “I was a fencing instructor” Said Zizzy. They heard a rumble near the mall. “I’ll go check it out.” The officer said. “I’ll go too.” Zizzy said. They went in the mall, and were chased by a broken security droid and a mouse. They opened up where the person was and found none other than… Georgie. “Georgie? Why did you run?” Asked the officer. “You know this kid?” Zizzy asked. “Yes, he’s the person I was looking for.” The officer replied. “When my family went to the hospital they acted weird….So I came here looking for Grandma…But everyone was being scary, so I hid.” Georgie said. “Come, Georgie. We can give you shelter in the safe house.” The officer offered. “Okay…” Georgie said. 

Back at the safe house, Pony had good news. “Hey guys! I tracked a helicopter signal to a military outpost!” Pony gave them the news. “Mr. P.” The officer knew what it was. “Lets go!” The officer said, ready to face Mr. P.  

At the outpost, they discovered it was infested with infected. All the soldiers were infected and wandering around. And there was an infected with a flamethrower, who chased them while they escaped. “This is where Mr. P is. Are we ready for what is in there?” The officer stated. “WAIT!” Georgie came running up to them. “I want to see the person who hurt my family.” Georgie said. “Seems you’ve attracted quite the crowd.” Pony said. A crowd of soldiers had surrounded them. “Me and Pony will fight them off!” Zizzy said. “Ok, me and Georgie will stop Mr. P.” The player said.  

When they got inside, they saw Mr. P staring into darkness. Except, he was a cyborg. “The ghosts of the people I let down are here to haunt me.” Mr. P said. “We aren’t ghosts. What’s he talking about?” Georgie said. “Leave me be! I want to be left in peace!” Mr. P shouted at the two. They followed him further into the plant. “Fine, if you won’t leave, I’ll take care of you myself.” Mr. P said, as he loaded his plasma gun. An infected appeared. It was Badgy, a researcher. Once they blew up the plant with dynamite, the officer started having hallucinations of where he had been, and saw ghosts of Doggy and Bunny. After giving Mr. P a picture of his wife, he came around. Mr. P decided to tell the officer his story, but on one condition. That the officer left as soon as he heard it. “My wife, Mrs. P had a disease, I tried to cure it. I had finally made what was supposedly going to help her. I tried it on the kind Piggy family. The results were they were getting stronger. I was overjoyed. I gave it to Mrs. P immediately. The was getting stronger too. But then I heard news the Piggy family were getting aggressive.  

Mrs. P was too. That was when I met you. When you fainted in the sewer, we took you to the hospital and found traces of the infection in you. Bunny got attacked, so I gave her another rushed cure, hoping it would work. I was wrong. And then, here you are. That is my selfish story.” Mr. P told the officer. “Thank you, Mr. P. 

Once they got outside, Zizzy and Pony had stopped the soldiers. “Hey! Zizzy! Pony! We defeated Mr. P!” The officer told them. “Thats great!” Pony replied. “So what do we do now?” Pony asked. “Maybe look for a cure?” Georgie asked. “Ok! We can do that!” The officer replied.  

Hi. Caspian here.

Today I had my first call with Mr Laidlaw for a while and I did some maths with him. I also did maths in my schoolbook and some spellings too.

I also did some work on the Arctic. I wrote a report on what I liked and what I didn’t like about the subject. I then drew some pictures and wrote down some facts in boxes. I also made a video about what I would take with me to the Arctic to survive. Unfortunately the file is to big to send by email or put on the blog but Mrs Jardine knows about it.

Goodbye.

14th February 2053

The world has been wrecked. That stupid President Trump and his drills in the Arctic have caused it to melt and caused tsunamis to topple the Leaning Tower Of Pisa, rust the Eiffel tower, and blow out Liberty’s Torch. Many animals have gone extinct. Us humans are now living in metros and underground areas. We are making homes underground. We have started to evolve gills to survive the tsunamis easier due to recent research.

Hi! Caspian here.

Today I did maths. I also did connectives in spelling. I researched the ANtarctica and wrote down ten facts. I did a piece of work about 250 words. I had to write either a lockdown story or a holiday story. I chose my holiday in Silloth a year ago. Here it is:

Me and my family went to Silloth last year on holiday. At the disco Mark won a prize for a free drink as he and Tanith won a dance contest. We also went down to the games and Tanith won every one. I gave Idris lots of walks. Then that night we had pizza then went into our cabin’s hot tub. The next day, we went to the pool and went in the jacuzzi. The day after we went to the beach in our Russian army truck. We went on a mini train ride the next day. After that, we went to the arcade and had hot dogs, candy floss and played on the racing arcade machines. We then went to look at the sea and take in the salty air. Next we had a picnic, consisting of: cheese and ham sandwiches, cake, and fruit.  I also learnt archery at a PE centre and Tanith did really well at shooting the arrows. I also had a nerf gun fight. I won!

I have also had a clear out of some of my books to make room for Pokemon books.  I want to donate the ones I have taken out to school.

That is all for today! And where did the sun go?!!!

Ekans! (Ekans (A Pokemon) for goodbye)

Hi! I’m back! (In case you do not know this is Caspian.).

Today I did my usual maths and spelling, along with some Arctic work and literacy. I wrote a letter to President Biden as to whether I would like to stop the drilling in the Arctic or not. My answer was… (You guessed it… possibly….) No.

Also I will write down what I did for the holidays.

1. I played through Piggy Book 2 Chapter 6 and got the Saviour ending, the survivor ending, and the secret ending, buying the Koalie skin in the process.
2. The next day, I was around for the release of a new skin, Katie. Katie is the second TSP (The Silver Paw) Member to have a skin that shows how they lived before the infection began. (This profession was a nurse/surgeon.) The first one to have a skin like that was Felix, a performer/actor.
3. I went on a walk down by the river across the road. The river was higher than usual. We also noticed the farmer had spread manure around the field, even though there weren’t any animals in there, and Mum made a big deal about taking our shoes off when we got to the door at home.
4. I watched the entire 3 series of: Pokémon: Sun and Moon. I also hope to watch the entire series of Pokémon: Indigo League. I also watched these Pokémon movies: Mewtwo Strikes Back, The Power Of Us, and I Choose You! I am starting to get obsessed with Pokémon….It’s not a great thing.

Right, now for the Biden letter:

Dear President Biden,

I think you should STOP drilling for oil in the Arctic because it might endanger the animals that live there. What if someone accidentally drilled into a polar bear den? What if the polar bears have to fond a new home? A polar bear could be killed if its’ den is drilled into. The drilling could avert animals from their feeding/breeding grounds. Polar bears eat fish and if the seas are covered with drills they may have to adapt to ferns and/or land animals…Which won’t make saving them from extinction any easier, in fact HARDER.

Yours sincerely, C. Huitson-Bonde.

Also, I have found a song on YouTube that can help you go to sleep. It is from Pokémon and it makes the characters sleep in the show. (After Ash and his friends and Pokémon fall asleep in the show, Jigglypuff, the singer of this song, draws funny faces on them) Anyway, if you search “Jigglypuff song one hour” and put it on while you try to sleep, it might make it easier. Unless hard rock makes you go to sleep.

Now, Pika! (Pikachu for goodbye)
