Holywood Hullabaloo

First  this week I let go my  butterflies. It took a long time for some of them to take off. One of the butterflies was very hairy on its back I did not expect that.

I made a zip wire in the kitchen I did not use string. I used nylon thread I didn’t think it would work but it did. It worked because the thread was strong and slippery. When we pulled it tight it went down much faster. I put  my teddy on the zip wire then I put down my playmobile. The playmobile went down quicker because they were lighter.

Yesterday I had an online appointment. It was kinda weird. I had to see the receptionist on the screen. I did not expect it. Then I had to go into the virtual waiting room. The screen said you will be collected soon. It sounded strange to me. I think this a good thing because after the virus there wont be a tonne of people waiting for a new appointment. I have to do it all again next week !!!!!!!

Single Line Portrait Drawing

For this activity all you need is a sheet of A4 paper, a mirror (if you are drawing yourself) and a pencil or pen.

 

 

 

 

 

To do this activity properly, you are not allowed to lift your pencil off the paper once you have started.  However, you are allowed to draw over the top of lines you have already drawn – it is quite tricky!   I drew myself in the mirror and I drew my husband.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I challenge all the staff and pupils to do this.  Top tip:  start down the middle of your face (I started with my eyebrow).

 

 

 

 

 

Morning Book Worms!

Today we are going to use one of the BIG READ TASKS to get us started with our book chat:

FICTIONAL FRIENDS

Which character would you want as a friend? Why? What would you do or talk about together? 

The character can either be from the book you are reading just now or any book you have read in the past.

Look forward to chatting!

Here is my poem I wrote with similes

My Dog Beans

She’s as playful as a tiger cub.

Beans is as beautiful as blossom.

 As clever as a dolphin.

 She is as grumpy as a bear if you lose her ball.

 As cuddly as a duckling.

She’s like a fish when she swims.

As ready to pump as is a cowboy addicted to baked beans.

Hi all, Caspian is back from a mythological experience. Today I have done a lot of research into Greek mythology. I have found out about Arachne for whom spiders are named.  I also read about Cupid. I read some of this when I read The Oddyssey last year.

I also did some work on my How We Used to Live lessons. Today I focussed on evacuees. It made feel incredibly sad, how awful it must have been for the little children.

See you tomorrow.

Hi Everyone,

It looks like you’ve all been having a fantastic Big Thursday! Zip lines, tie dye, robots, Lego…we love seeing all your photos and posts on the blog!

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow morning we have our Big Read followed by Book Blether at around 10am.

Hope to see you all then!

Hello,

Today I learnt how to tie dye from mummy. We made some tshirts and bags damp with warm water. Then we wrung them out. We put rubber bands on the things in odd places. Then we freestyled with three dyes. i had to wear really big plastic gloves to keep my skin safe. Caspian wont be happy when he sees i got pink on his tshirt.🤣 The things then went in plastic bags on the washing line to set. We said hello to Erin’s grandma from our garden. The bags have to stay on the line until tomorrow but mummy will take pictures of the next stages of my tie dyes.

I have also learnt how the earth was made and found out some facts. i wrote a lot. We watched episode 5 of How We Used to Live and learnt about war starting. The prime minister told the country when it happened. i was really ssd for the children who left their homes to live with strangers. i would be very scared if i had to leave my home.

Byee, see you soon,
Tanith xxx
