Morning Everyone,

Great to see  so many of you on the blog this week! The Big Thursday tasks are now on the learning pages.

Hope you all have a fun day and remember to let us know what you get up to!

Hello everyone, Today I have been doing Picture News, Maths, Spelling and some Arctic Animal Drawing I tried my very best.  I had fun doing it because I was doing a card game part with facts and I did add numbers with it like top trumps   but .Arctic Top Trumps today instead it was okay and I also did other things like my Video Call too. Mr Laidlaw was very pleased with how I use partitions for my sums. He thought it was new to me but my mama has been helping me with them.

Smile everyday and have fun  Goodbye! See you next time x   😸🦊🐺

 

Hello, it’s Caspian again,

In addition to my reporting home news, today I also did some spelling work, mum has only managed to catch me out on two words. I can’t put them here as I can’t spell them!!!

I did 5-a-day and a mystery number exercise.

After my half hour with Mr Laidlaw, where I did some algebra, I identified which animals live in the Arctic. I watched a World Wild Life film about the Polar region.

Bye all, see you tomorrow.

Hi everyone, we forgot to post yesterday so here are a few photos.

I have been busy doing alot of reading on Epic. I have read quite a few books now and then mum tests me at the end. I like doing the quiz at the end too.

I have been on Sumdog and I played maths games on BBC Bitesize which was good.

We have been walking and playing badminton in the garden. I got a go kart for christmas so I have been on that aswell.

Tomorrow we are going to make a chocolate cake.

Here us my drawing of BOBBY the polar bear and 5 interesting facts.

In school today the children made some awesome 3D polar bears. I’m hoping that any that went home can be photographed for the blog, as we didn’t get chance to take photos. (Some are still drying before they can be painted.) Some of the children had fun on Sumdog and we were all super impressed with Mena’s video .  There was lots of EPIC reading.  Co-operative work has begun on a  life size polar bear model.

This afternoon we went for a walk.  The children did a great job taking account of those with long legs and those with little legs. Azari found some red and green berries. We had a chat about where all the holly berries have gone. There were some ideal trees for climbing. I hope you enjoy the photos, some were taken by Daniel and by Findlay and some by me. .

Hello everyone
Today I started out with the algebra powerpoint in the home learning. I actually got the hang of it pretty quickly and really enjoyed doing it.
I then did some Sumdog followed by some Epic. I started a book called The Revenge of The Shadow King.
After lunch I read some of my book about mythical beasts that I received for Christmas.

I then chose a couple of beasts to focus on and do extra research. I then wrote out some facts about them.

Bunyip

In Australia in deep waterholes lies Bunyips. Bunyips are evil mythical spirits that lure people or animals and devours any person or creature. People started making these legends when they heard blood-curdling cries.

Banished Spirit…

Australian people include this creature in their dreams. According to one of the myths, there was a tribesman who disobeyed the rules about how living things should live, which the rainbow snakes decided. Biami, the good spirit, punished him. He was banished from the tribe. Biami also told other tribes to stay away from him. The tribesman got so angry he became an evil spirit and they called him Bunyip. He would roam the earth at night bringing gloom and fear to all tribes. He would also devour people on the way especially women and children.

… Or a Prehistoric Hippo?

40,000 years ago there was a plant-eating marsupial around the size of a rhino living in Australia. It was known as a Diprotodon. It would live near water and graze on shrubs and grass. People have been wondering if these creatures evolved into hippo-like marsupial which the tribespeople saw and feared.

They have a dog-like face, walrus-like tusks or horns and dark fur.

Dragons

At least every continent has its own tale of scaly, serpent-like creatures.

Ryu

The Ryu is a Japanese dragon. It has three claws but no wings. It lives beneath the sea and controls rain and stormy weather. It gifts wishes to those brave enough to find one.

Kuh Billaur

The Kuh Billaur dragon came from Persia. Brave Ali killed a serpent dragon by piercing it with his sword. People feared dragons throughout the Middle East. In ancient times, apparently, a dragon swallowed the moon when a lunar eclipse occurred. People made loud noises with bells so the creature could release the moon.

Fafnir

This dragon lives in Norse/Germany. Fafnir was the son of dwarf king Hreidmar. He tried stealing his father’s treasure, so he was killed by Sigurd. In northern European myths, dragons were a symbol of greed.

Lastly  I thought I’d share some mantis pictures since Miss Dale mentioned them yesterday. Today’s mantis I’m sharing is called Lettuce. She is a Rhombodera Stalli (Shield Mantis). Mantis keepers prefer you to use the scientific name as lots of mantis share the same general name. Lettuce is a fully grown adult female, so she has her wings. However females don’t really fly at all. Females also have a longer lifespan.

Hope everyone has had a good day 🙂
Bye for now!
