Hi

I am glad it’s Friday as I need a rest because I’ve been busy again today. Mum and I went for a walk where we live, I saw cows, sheep, birds and a pheasant today. The sunshine made me feel happy today. We read a book called ‘The Toy Box’ and then I was reading out words that I know.

We looked at numbers and i was  counting back and forwards.

Mum got some lard and I couldn’t stop laughing doing the experiment with the water and lard.  It felt gooey.  My hand was warm and my other hand was 🥶 freezing! Polar bears must stay really warm then. I will need to do that again as mum forgot to take a photo of me doing it.

We went shopping as my guineapigs needed carrots and cucumber and lettuce.

My HWB happy photo today is my family. They make me very very happy and I love them all.

Have a nice weekend everybody 😊

This is my Inuit

project! 😀

Hello Tanith Here.

Today I had a class call and got shy. I wanted to tell everyone that it is my 7th birthday on Sunday.  I was shy on my walk also. And I made short bread in the shapes of Arctic fox and polar bear. Then I added some orange chocolate on my short bread.  I made some drawings to do on my short bread but didn’t work so I used cutters and the cutters were 1. Polar Bear 2. Arctic Fox. I used chocolate orange on top  but the decoration was  a  bit too messy and Saxon licked some off also! it was fun making them and everyone said they tasted AMAZINGGGGGG!

I am going to do some Sundog later.

Goodbye! Smile everyday, see you next time Bye! Bye!

Today I made a job application for the king of Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hello, its Tanith. My internet died. I am sorry. Love Tanith xxx

Hi everyone.
Firstly I’ve discovered my favourite thing in maths is partitions. I’ve really been enjoying doing them! I even asked to do them again today. I’ve also been practising hard on my 3 and 4 times table. I didn’t think I was very good at the 3 and then I proved myself wrong when I got all my 3 times table questions right.

As part of my exercise for big Thursday we went to the skate park and I got to scoot on my new scooter. I decided to try one of the bigger ramps that I hadn’t tried before and I did it! So I asked my Dad to take a video.

We watched another episode of Perfect Planet and my mum wanted to know 3 facts we learned from the show.

Figs are pollinated by fig wasps that lay their eggs inside. When the baby wasps hatch inside the fig, the male wasps allow themselves to be eaten by ants to let the female wasps get away. The female wasps only live for 2 days.

Golden snub-nosed monkeys live in families and the familes fight with each other for food. Snub-nosed monkeys are one of my favourite animals because I love monkeys. I already knew that the leader of the family is the big male with the fur cape.

Arctic foxes steal eggs from geese to feed their cubs. Their cubs need 300 calories a day to grow.

Bye for now.

Hey everybody. Today I did some top trumps, long multiplication, timestables and then my five a day spicy level. I got a couple of questions wrong. Have a good weekend everyone and stay safe! 😁By Esmae

Hi everyone.
I got my Sumdog challenge finished and I feel like I’m getting a good handle on the algebra. As part of my big Thursday I went roller blading for exercise. My mum is going to email a video to the school for the teachers to see as I decided I didn’t really want to post it up on the blog. I got the roller blades for Christmas and I’m slowly getting more confident in them 🙂
We watched the second episode of Perfect Planet and Mum asked us to write down our 3 facts that we learned at the end.
Wolves hunt musk ox by trying to single one out from the herd. If they aren’t successful they will move on the arctic hares, which aren’t very easy to catch either.
Silver desert ants have 5 minutes to find food before the heat kills them. They run from their underground burrow and race to find something that has already died from the heat to take back to their home.
Shearwater birds make one of the biggest migrations in the world travelling from New Zealand to Alaska. They fatten themselves up before flying as once they set off they don’t see dry land for a very long time.

I also took a look at inuits and their igloos and modern housing. I drew a diagram of each. I read all the links provided. I found it shocking the lack of daylight at certain times of the year. I also wanted to understand the igloo better as I was confused how it would be warm when it was made of hard snow. I found a good video on YouTube that fully explained it. Here it is incase you would like to learn about it too 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L7EI0vKVuU&list=LLn2MbM0abmGb7ZyNptyndtw&index=653

Hope everyone is safe and well.

Hi it’s Erin,

I used ice cubes to see how long it takes for ice to melt at room temperature.

We did  the experiment in granny’s kitchen.

A   I put ice on the tin foil.

B.  I put some ice on a waxed cloth.

C.  I put ice in a cup.

D   I put the ice in a glass covered with tinfoil.

See the results on my bar graph picture.
