I received great news today, Abi Elphinstone, the author of our class novel Sky Song, replied to our email and she hopes to answers our interview questions in the next few weeks 🤞. She is currently on maternity leave, as she has just had her baby, and also has a toddler running around the house, so she is doing us a big favour. Thanks Abi!

In Numeracy and Mathematics today, we were reinforcing our skills with plotting coordinates on a Cartesian diagram and the results were hopefully in keeping with this week’s theme 😉.  This is Jamie coordinate emoji 😍.

This is Lea’s 😍.

And two from Wint 😍 😉

Every year, the Unicode Consortium, a group of tech companies and volunteers with backgrounds in coding, technology, and linguistics, approve about 50 to 100 emojis from thousands of ideas submitted from people all over the world.

In order for the panel to consider it, the emoji must be one that can be used often, as well as one that is different from existing emojis. Today, the children were asked to design their own emoji that might be considered for inclusion in their catalogue of emojis.

Above we can see Lea’s emoji and she has used a digital drawing app to create hers. Great job!
