Holywood Hullabaloo

Hi all, Caspian and Tanith are back!

We are doing a joint blog today as we have done most of our work together as a team. First we had our French lesson. Mum gave us both ten words related to Halloween and asked us to find the word in French. We found some words in French were very similar to the English spellings but others were really different.  For example, zombie = zombi, ghoul=goule, pumpkin=citrouille, broomstick=balai. We did our research by using our English to French dictionary and also watching some programmes online. Tanith was really pleased because she already knew black cat is chat noir as she really loves watching Miraculous Ladybug where Chat Noir is one of the main characters!

We then worked on our maths separately. I worked on area and capacity, Tanith looked at subtraction machines and her times tables.

We finished the day by creating a skeleton from raw pasta!

Meet Bob! Bob the Almighty is the skeleton of an alien warrior race. He comes from the planet Paistametrix. He has one pair of arms where the hands each have three digits – useful when eating chicken wings. He also has one pair of pincers – in life his pincers contained a toxin to spear his prey.  He stands on a pile of bones – the remains of his victims from a few weeks ago! He has six joints in each leg – useful when dancing at the warrior Friday night discos on the neighbouring planets.

We are really enjoying our Halloween themed lessons.

See ya!

 

Hello,

It is so good to be having lessons again. I did a bit of work in the holidays because I like practicing my spelling and doing sums. Mummy says I am doing much better with my halves and doubles. I also did a lot of reading. My favourite book was Fairy Hill, Butterfly Fairy’s Secret by Fran Evans. Today I did my new spellings and sentences. Then I wrote a story about a witch’s cat called Whisper and drew pictures.

Hi Whisper

Hi Leah. What a lovely day. The sun is out. I love the sun so much.

I am having so much fun climbing the trees for nuts, leafs and the wood is pretty. There is a lovely rainbow.

I am back. I brought nuts, leafs and wood to make a flying potion.

WOW! said Leah the witch. Good job. Let’s do this potion together.

Okay, I said.

I also got 9/10 in my maths today. Mummy helped me understand the sum I got wrong and I got it right the second time I tried.

Byeee, be happy and smile every day.

Love from Tanith xxx

 

Hi all, Caspian is back!

I hope you all enjoyed half term. I have done quite a lot today. In comprehension, I answered questions and did some freehand work on River Rescue, toll bridge charges, and the Amazon Basin. I think it is dreadful that people are destroying the rainforest and stealing animals from their natural habitat. I also did some maths – coordinates, decimals to fractions and perimeters. Mum set me a Halloweeny literacy piece of work. I had to write a short story about a witch but from her broomstick’s point of view.  This is my short story.

I am bored, tired and hollow. I am a broomstick. Mistreated by the evil witch. Every time she makes a potion, she draws woodlice that eat me inside out. She knows I am a sentient being and that is why she blames me when I crash. I cannot help it because of the woodlice eating me. I would rather be in a motel!

The end.

Hi all, Caspian is back!

I’ve been quite busy today. First, I read about what it would be like to be the first person to land on Mars. I don’t want to be the first at all! Then I worked through three of the comprehension exercises. I finished the day off with some maths questions. I’m helping Tanith with Sumdog at the moment. Mum made apple pie for pudding tonight which was nice.

До свидания (Russian for good bye.)

Hello everyone,

Today mummy showed me a science experiment to help me understand plant growth. It was very interesting and I learned a lot. Mummy is going to buy me some seeds so I can do my own experiments also. I also did some description bubbles with a picture of a pirate. Then I did my spelling and some maths.  Caspian lets me watch his Sumdog and is helping me with my sums.

A smile for all of you, love from Tanith xxx

Hi all, Caspian is back!

Today I learnt about Sherpa Tenzing and Edmund Hillary and how they reached the summit of Everest. The flag of Nepal, where Everest is situated, is the only flag which is not rectangular in shape. I would like to visit the bronze statue of Edmund Hillary in New Zealand one day as it would be nice to see a statue of such a great man. I hope there is a statue of Sherpa Tenzing also as Edmund Hillary would not have reached the summit without the help of Sherpa Tenzing.

I also did some maths. We went for a walk after lessons so we all got some exercise, our dog included!

Rom-halan (Vulcan for ‘goodbye’)

Hello everybody,

Today I read and answered questions on Fairy Hill, Butterfly Fairy’s Secret by Fran Evans. It is a really good book and has fairies in it which I love and believe in. Butterfly Fairy was very kind to a lovely caterpillar and she helped him by giving him bilberries and when it was winter time, she gave him some honey and helped him turn into a lovely butterfly. A cheeky brown mouse was stealing all the food from the fairies but the fairies told him off and he said sorry. I also did some writing on it to check my copying and my joined up handwriting. I worked on my spellings and wrote sentences for each word. Then I learnt how to read digital clocks and normal clocks. We went for a nice walk and I said hello to Sam and Sevi’s mummy who invited me and mummy to tea when the coronavirus is over. Mummy made lemon cake and chocolate cookies for us today which were very yummy. Smile every day and always be kind.

Lots of love from Tanith xxx

Hi all, Caspian is back!

Today I have been doing some work on the seasons. We went on a walk to New Bridge to look at the changing landscape now autumn has arrived. Then we did some writing once we got home. I chose to create a four panelled piece about all of the seasons and used both pictures and written facts. Later on I spent some time on a maths website.

See ya!

Hi, it is Tanith. Today I have been doing some spelling, maths and handwriting. I have told my mummy I want to have a lesson on unicorns and sparrows so she is going to let me. Smile every day and be happy, love Tanith xxx

Hi all Caspian is back.

Today I have made a goodbye card for Mrs. Queen and will deliver it tomorrow. I have also done 2 pages of maths and according to the title, done a stop motion. It is about forces shifting to a living organism war machine then reverting back to it’s natural state.

For tea we had a lovely chicken dinner and finished it off with a lovely jelly and dark chocolate orange. Mmmmm!!!!

Thats all today so,

Dovidenja!!!!!!!

(That is Latin for goodbye!)
