Chinese Year of The Monkey

These past few weeks we have been learning Mandarin Chinese with Mrs. Zhang. As well as learning Mandarin Chinese we have been learning about China. 2 weeks ago we made Chinese Zodiacs……………Zodiacs are a Chinese way of telling how old you are and telling what time it is. Last week we made Chinese lanterns but we didn’t put lights in them because we just made them out of paper. On the top of the lanterns we wrote in Mandarin Chinese, it translated to Happy New Year. Yesterday we learned about Chinese New Year. We saw lots of AMAZING! pictures of Chinese lanterns and a great video of a dragon. Also yesterday we made Chinese dumplings.

Chinese New Year starts on the 8th of February but we learned about Chinese New Year on the 9th of February with Mrs Zhang. There is a dragon called Nian which means year. We made a Chinese zodiac. A Chinese zodiac is a circle divided in twelve sections. There is an animal in every section. On the Chinese zodiac this year is the monkey year.On Chinese new year Chinese people hang up their lanterns and then they admire the lanterns.

Safer Internet Day

Yesterday was Safer Internet Day and we talked about  safety on the internet. If you are being cyber bullied tell someone straight away don’t hide it. You can also block the person or report them to the internet police CEOP or even the local police. Also remember to log out of your account because someone could hack your account and say mean things to your friends which look like they are from you and your friend could be cyber bullied too. Even if people are mean to you don’t be mean back because remember always be nice. Its not just children that get cyber bullied adults do too. Having your account hacked isn’t nice and it could happen to anyone even if they are sure that they are safe online so always remember to log out when your done. Stay safe online.

Here is a link to an internet safety website

The Planetarium

Today we had Mr Rose but we weren’t at the school we were at the Hall because we were going to the planetarium. We had to go through a dark tunnel to get inside as it was in an inflatable igloo. It was dark inside so that we could see the stars. We had to close our eyes to get adjusted to the dark. We then look at the stars how we would see it at night in Shetland. Mr Rose pointed out the Plough and other star patterns like The Great Bear, The Little Bear, Orian the hunter and Sirius the dog,  we also saw The Seven Sisters. He then showed us the constellations and told us the story of Perseus.

My rain gauge

We  all made a rain gauge. I made it out  of a meringue box.   I put mine out side at half past nine in the morning on Tuesday and looked at it and measured it on Wednesday at half past nine. I had 3 cm of water.

Space Projects

We are doing space as one of our projects this term. Pluto is not a planet it is a dwarf planet, there are eight planets in the solar system, in Mercury a day is like 176 earth days and Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun it is EXTREMELY hot. The ring around Saturn is just rock and ice spun around really quickly. I am looking forward to learning more about space.
