We have been learning about Mesolithic Scotland.its been pretty boring we have all been up the woods from pretty much since we came back to school.we have been doing this for about 3 weeks.A couple of weeks ago i help make black berry and raspberry jam i think it was really good we also made some bread with it it was also really good.We also made nettle soup i didn’t want to try some because i hate nettles as they are.On Friday we get to make bow and arrows out of wood and string.(i think anyway)so anyways when we came back to school i turned p,7 i really done feel like i’m in primary 7 i still feel like i’m in p,6.

Before christ there was clans they all wore in war we all have to make dens and flags we have a clan call.yesterday we split into groups so that our groups are split into two.We all did a thing in the wood were we set a trail for our group to find us .My group did’nt find me  the over thin we’ve done is go into the wood close out eyes and try here our group.

Hello we have been put in to clans for our new topic we are doing stuff about Mesolithic Scotland we have made shelters and clan symbols to identify our clan mates we also made clan calls and trails with sticks and leaves and pine cones. We have been up the woods whittling  and playing. When we where making our trails half of our group went to make a trail starting from the school park to our woodland and hid where the trail ends this morning the half that stayed and went to look for the other half was now hiding and making trails.

Hi all, Caspian is back again to write my story I mentioned earlier. Here goes:

The TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) had materialised in Mesolithic Sweden. Rory stepped out first. “So, we’re on Earth, right, Doctor?” Rory asked The Doctor. “I think so, probably not Britain though.” The Doctor replied.

“I wish Amy was here.” Rory whinged at The Doctor. “Well you were the one that wanted a boys night out!” The Doctor pointed out. “Night is coming, get in the cave.” The Doctor told Rory.

“Oh look, a cave painting of a Dalek! How settling(!)” Rory pointed out. “And a Weeping Angel.” The Doctor continued off Rory. “Well, at least its a painting, right?” Rory hoped with glee. ” Even if it was it still would be dangerous.” The Doctor pointed out. “Great we are going to die(!)” Rory said, thinking it was over. “It is over, Rory, or very well could be. If I wasn’t around. I just need to use my sonic screwdriver.” The Doctor said, reading it off his psychic paper. Suddenly, the Dalek came to life! “EXTERMINATE!” It said its war cry with a harsh emotionless robotic voice.

The Dalek shot the Doctor and he started regenerating, a Time Lords way of stopping death, and blasted the aliens through a crack in space and time.

“Rory, we’re leaving.” The newly regenerated Doctor said.

The End

Mum made us a dalek cake today, it was filled with fruit pastilles when the cake was cut open!

My favourite Doctor Who, the eleventh.

Since Friday we have been foraging for berries and rose hips for our jam and jelly making. An old lady who is my friend in the village has an apple tree and a beautiful garden. She gave me some apples from her tree and also gave me some tomatoes today because I took her some of our bramble jam and our rose hip jelly. We also made some granny loaves to go with the jam and a berry crumble so we did not waste any of our ingredients. I made two of the labels for the rose hip jelly, in the middle is Caspian’s label. Mine say happy jelly and star jelly.

Today I started reading about Plop who is a baby owl and he is afraid of the dark. I read up to page 43. I had fun because it is a really nice book. Plop lives with his mummy and daddy and I think that is really cute.

Two of my cats had to be collected by the vet lady today and are having operations tomorrow. I am missing them a lot.

I wrote to three of my friends today, they were Owen, Annelise and Mena. I am writing more tomorrow.

Be happy, have fun and smile every day.

Lots of love from Tanith xxx

 

Hi all, Caspian is back!

It has been a very busy few days, from maths, to science, to art history, to foraging, to jam making. Phew, I am exhausted!

We have been out twice foraging for berries. It was great to see Miss Dale and some of our friends on our first outing to gather berries for bramble jelly.  Mum found a recipe online to make bramble jelly and one of our friends in the village gave us a load of cooking apples from her tree as she had too many so we had the base for our first batch of jam. Mum helped make it as it got very very hot but Tanith and I helped with prepping the fruit, sterilising the jars, stirring the jam, checking for the wrinkle (the setting point of the lava) and writing the labels. As you can see, the jam is infected with the piggy virus! (Roblox game characters, made by Minitoon, very fun.) Our second foraging at the weekend was for rosehips, sloe berries, hedge berries (yellow but look like raspberries) and damsons. The berries have been put aside for crumbles, pies and more jam but we made the rosehip jelly last night. We are going to have a go at nettle jelly next but I’m going to let Mark, Tanith and Mum pick the nettles while I shout orders!

On Friday, I wrote a Doctor Who story for literacy. Mum got me to choose a location, five Doctor Who references and two things to do with the Mesolithic. I will post my story later.

I also did some research on Leonardo da Vinci (not the mutant ninja turtle). I found out the following:

1. He invented flying machines.
2. He painted the Mona Lisa.
3. He painted the Last Supper of Christ.
4. He painted Vitruvian Man.
5. Da Vinci’s architectural genius is used to this day by other artists and engineers, such as the Vebjorn Sands Da Vinci Project in Norway.
6. His hobbies were painting, sculpting and engineering.
7. His dad was a lawyer and a landlord.
8. His mother was a peasant.
9. He was also a scientist and a geologist.
10. He was illegitimate.
11. His surname is also the name of the town he was raised in.
12. He didn’t receive any formal education.
13. He could play the lyre.
14. He had ten years of art training as an adult.
15. He was ambidextrous so could right and left handed.

Today, I have read up to chapter 22 of Wolf Brother. At the part where Torak tried to kill Wolf for food, I had to skip the few sentences as I cannot bear to think of dead wolves, they are my favourite beast. I also like the fact Wolf calls Torak ‘Tall Tailess’. I have written three letters today. I will be writing some every day. It was really great getting all the letters from everyone.

That’s all folks!!
