Hi everyone. It’s Rory.
Just a little blog to focus on maths. I realised there was things I was finding tricky. First of all my Sumdog challenge made me realise I needed to go over my shapes and their facts again.  Mummy made me a sheet of shapes and names and I had to match the names to their shapes. Then Daddy drew shapes and I had to name them. This was a good reminder for me and made my Sumdog challenge much better and I was able to complete it today.
I also struggled a little with adding when the numbers got bigger. Mummy said I kept forgetting to carry the one. I have been practising hard on this and Mummy has been giving me a lot of sums to try and help me remember to do this. I’ll keep this practice up.
I also did some French maths today. I had the sums written out in French words and I had to write the answers. I also had a list of numbers that I had to write in french words.
Bye for now
Rory

Hi everybody. Today i had a spelling test and got 19/20. I then done partition numbers and got 12/12. Then i finished reading my book on epic called my pet slime. It’s about a girl called piper that needs to do show and tell. There’s a girl called Claire who’s really mean and says that everyone should bring a pet to show and tell. But Piper is allergic to animals. So she makes a pet slime. Her granny puts space dust on her desk when piper was making slime. Piper made a mess with the slime. The space dust turns piper’s pet slime into a real pet.

Today I made my WANTED poster on the blackboard

I photographed some signs of wildlife in my garden today.  I have a bird box and there is a sparrow nesting in it – I have seen it fly in and out but I couldn’t get a photo of it doing that.

 

 

 

 

 

I also found the beginnings of a wasp nest in my pony’s stable – this is only about 3 cm long (I took it down because I don’t really want a wasp nest in the stable).  It’s quite beautiful to look at though and very delicate.  Wasps are predators and prey on other insects – they are important because they keep the numbers of other insects under control.  Mrs. Madden

Today I have done an experiment using lemons to power a clock.

 

We did this from a set, that contained a small digital clock, two sticks of zinc and three pieces of wire. We had to do is chop the lemon in half. Then we had to get two forks and stick them in both lemon halves. Next, we put the zinc sticks in each lemon half and connected the red wire to 1 of the forks and the black wire to 1 of the zinc sticks on the other lemon half then we connected both these wires to the clock. Then we attached the white wire to the remaining zinc stick and fork. Finally, we Sellotaped the wires in place and the clock started working!

So how does it work?

The forks acts like positive electrodes in a battery. They are plated with metal which doesn’t react as much as the zinc does. When the forks and zinc plates are put into the lemon, a chemical reaction happens. Electrons create a negative charge which moves from the zinc plates to the forks to make a current this switching on the clock. Lemon juice helps conducts electricity this can also be done with potatoes and grapefruit.

Here are my pictures of my potato and lemon clock.

If I had three wishes they would be

1. To be a millionaire so I can help friends and family.
2. Buy a brand-new car that has a lot of diesel so we can travel further to see friends with out filling up the car with diesel.
3. I would also like to own a clay pigeon shooting range so dad and I can go shooting whenever we want.

What would your wishes be?

I will be writing  about why I don’t agree about wearing school uniform

I don’t like wearing the same style clothes every day

I don’t like looking the same as everyone else

I don’t like that school uniform costs a lot

what are your thoughts about uniform?

Hello people. What have you done today? First on my agenda was Spanish. Again I use the app Duolingo. Then I did my reading. I am reading machine gunners. Next I was doing English. Also again I did comprehension about the world wars. After that it was Maths I was doing an assessment. It was in a textbook. Then I did some art. It was fun but I have not finished it. Later my family will be doing the cleaning. I do the living room. Also I will tidy the dinning room. That wraps up today’s blog. Take care people out there reading my blog. By Orla.
