Hi everybody. Today I did some work on the empire state building. I had to read about it then answer the questions. I did multiplication sums and partition numbers. Then I was learning how to tell the time. I’m getting a bit better. Then I did a spelling test and got 19 out of 20.

I think school should open so I can skid on the hills and jump off them, it is very fun

Also so I can play with Aaron, Miller and all my friends.

So I can see Kai and he  could skid down the hills with me.

So I could do maths with Miss Pattie.

Hi everyone, Cleo here! Today after maths and literacy we looked at life cycles. Here is one I did of the praying mantis, followed by a description of their life cycle

A female mantis lays groups of 14-100 babies in a froth that hardens to protect the egg through the Winter. This is known as an ootheca.

Baby mantids , called nymphs, hatch in the spring. Often their first meal is one of their siblings! Nymphs eat leafhoppers, aphids or small flies.

All through Summer  they shed their skin many times to reveal a new larger skin underneath. This is called moulting.

They have one final moult and this is when they officially become an adult. Almost all species of mantis also reveal a set of wings at this final moult. Females will go on to lay eggs of their own. Their life span is only approximately 1 year, so soon after egg laying they usually die. The life cycle will begin again with the new eggs.

Here is some bonus pictures of Matilda! (Who is actually a boy)

Hi everyone sorry I haven’t been on the blog much . My family and I feel like the weeks have went in so fast.

I thought I would put a few photo’s up with some of the thing’s I have been keeping busy with. All very positive stuff –

We had my brother’s 19th Birthday on Easter sunday so we made him a Cadburys caramel cheese cake (he prefers more than cake) , we put the candles back to front so it read 91 rather than 19 because sometimes he acts like an old man . We also had our easter egg hunt in which my two brothers actually joined in ( well they wouldn’t have got their easter eggs if they hadn’t  ) . We had alot of fun and way too much chocolate (not really 🤣) .

We have had some lovely weather , there was one day in perticular which was exceptionally hot , I decided to build a den to keep my dog’s Oreo and Porridge a bit more on the cool side . I would say they quite liked my efforts .

On many of our exercise walks we came accross some stunning nature . We saw a Beuatiful butterfly sitting in the middle of the road , it had been hurt How ever it was still able to move quite freely , we lifted the wee thing , sat it on a flower to give it more of a chance , as you can see in the photo it’s body got a bit of a bang  😢 On another walk we seen alot of baby bunnies , very small and cute . Another walk my Mum was ecstatic as she was able to photograph the stunning Sun Dog /Sun Halo . The photo does not give it’s full beauty.  The colours where so vibrant , it just looked breath taking . I also found a tiny jumping spider , it almost looks robotic when it moves .

I decided to make some healthy dog treats for my dog’s Oreo and Porridge , human’s could also eat them because of the natural product’s used. The recipe makes a lot so my dogs will have goodies for ages . They both love them and would probably eat them all if they had the chance.

My Mum and I decided we needed a nice sweet treat , we had a look at what ingredients we had in the cupboard with what we found We were able to make the most delicious hot fudge chocolate cake , like our dog’s we could have easily ate all the cake , that would have been greedy and we are sure our tummys would not have been happy after 😅

My mum love’s photography so any chance she can get to take photo’s she will , especially the night sky . The moon and venus have been playing along side each other over a period of nights , my mum said that it’s a very stunning sight to see . The sky was very clear so everything was noticeable , bright and identifiable if you had looked up .

Here are some sentences I had to write:

The Monkey is scampering across the cobblestone.

I just cant believe people can be so obnoxious.

Wow, that is the most radiant bird I have ever seen.

I wish I could see light spectrums, it is hard to be blind.

I must leave now before I rouse the wrath of the dragon.

I leave as quickly as possible before the half rotten corpse begins to decay.

To me, Scotland is a paradise.

I swivel on my feet as I am startled.

 

Hi everyone I havent posted for a while. Today I have been doing some maths and reading with my mum. I enjoyed learning about the butterfly life cycle. We are going to make yummy banoffee pie I will post some pics and the recipe later.  I hope everyone is staying safe and staying home too.

15 minute quick writing

My favourite super heroes are Spiderman, Thor, Hulk and Iron Man.
Spiderman’s webs are important and his best super power.
If I had super powers I would want them all to be the same as Spiderman. I want to be Spiderman.
Hulk is green and gets angry.
Aquaman lives in Atlantis.
Thor is the god of thunder.
Groot is a big human tree.
Antman can turn big and small.

Here is a picture I drew to go with my quick writing.

I also did a book on vertebrates at the end of last week. Here it is.

I’m now off to read my new book called Ottoline and the Yellow Cat.
Bye for now.
