Hi Everyone, I promised I would put the answers for the barnacle goose quiz up today. Well done to those of you who posted your answers, you all had good answers!  I’ll post the questions again with the answers, so you don’t have to look back for them.

Barnacle Goose Quiz

Today I started with my spelling test and then did some more adding up.

I did some squiggle drawing with my sister and made my picture into a monster.

I then looked around the house for some tiling patterns and found quite a few, we are not sure if the cup and the wall count as tiling patterns though!

I was then learning about barnacle geese and looked on my globe to see how far they had flown to get here.  I didn’t know that the baby’s had to jump off cliffs to get to their mums!

Have a nice weekend.

Daniel and Abigail have been doing some writing about the books they have been reading at home – has anyone else tried Dinosaur Cove or Demon Dentist?

High-pitched and repeated – a playful bark usually served as an invitation.

Rapid barks with pauses- something is wrong i.e they sense intruder.

Continues barks lower-pitched- a dog that can sense imminent  problem.

Single high pitched- a painful yelp and expression of pain.

Single medium- pitched bark- a dog wants to be left alone.

Single barks with long pauses- a lonely dog calling for attention or company.

One or two short medium-pitched barks usually a greeting sound.

I got inspired to learn how to speak my dogs language by listening to a “my story animated video”  the reason for it is because I want to be able to speak to my dog so she can hint to telling me things like she did when she found a mouse when I was 9. Sometimes my dog hints things to me like, she wants in my bed because once she did that and all I heard, was a *sniff sniff* and little paws waddling into my room and I looked down and I saw her at my cabin bed ladder and I lifted her up, and had a snuggle with her. I want my dog to be able to tell me important things that are sort of simple, like “RHONA HELP SOMEONES IN THE HOUSE!” By barking or something.

Check out the videos of some of the guys who have been in the Hub this week – they have been working on story telling with found objects.

Thanks to everyone who joined in with Book Blether this morning. It was lovely to see all your faces and hear about what you’ve been reading. We were introduced to lots of interesting characters from Princesses and tooth fairies to dragons, detectives and out of control shoes!!

I’ve popped a video in the BIG READ page of the Danger is Everywhere novel that I mentioned at the start of the chat. If you’re a fan of the Tom Gates and Diary of a Wimpy Kid books I think this novel will appeal to you.

Stay safe and keep reading everyone!
