The Snow Story

The grey mist is coming closer in the night sky. There was a little log house up at the top of the hill. Then I can see the frost starting to come I tried to walk up the hill. Then the snow was heavy then I hurt my leg. I tried to climb the hill but it was hard to get up. In the morning I was freezing because I was sleeping in the snow. I was eating my cold breakfast it said on the label best before the 9^th of February 2013. Then I feel a bit pale and I was sick in the snow so I went to the hospital.

Lovely The Lioness

Lovely is a lioness, she has three lazy cubs. Their fur is a shiny golden colour. Her cubs are energetic and very playful. Lovely looks after her cubs at the same time as playing with them. Lovely is fearless and quite fierce. Her cubs are soft and hungery and happy. Lovely loves her cute lazy cubs. Watching the lion cubs sleep is incredible. One of the cubs is called Peter he dreams of being strong and mighty and the king of the jungle.

I made this story about a lioness called Lovely.

African Masks

With Miss Anderson we did African masks because our topic this term is Africa. We had a talk about why they had masks and what they did with them. They used the masks as a sign of their ancestors. They made snort and grunt noises because that’s the way they thought they could become their ancestor. We had a go at making our own (but not of our ancestors). Aren’t they fab!

Micro Tyco

As part of our Micro Tyco project Burravoe Primary School had a sale on Friday 16^th of November. Micro Tyco is organized by a charity called Wild Hearts. There are Micro Tyco teams all over Britain; they are in 2 groups: schools and businesses and are in competition with each other to see which team can raise the most money. We are the only teams in Shetland! At the sale Team Super Sellers raised £76.75 by baking cakes, Team Space Mountain raised £127.50 by selling Christmas cards and raffle tickets. Team Super Sellers had loads of baking donations from parents, teachers and friends. Both of the teams thank everyone for coming along and for their donations.

The fundraising competition lasted until the end of November. We had a Christmas Sale in the school on Friday 23^rd November. There were Christmas cards, Christmas tags, Christmas tree decorations, lip balms, candles and bath things. We sold out of Christmas cards quite fast! All money that was raised went to Wild Hearts. Micro Tyco was such a successes that they are doing it again this February.

All together we raised over £450!

This is a picture of us with our certificates.

Sumdog

Sumdog is maths. You have to answer questions as quick as you can. You can join classes in your school or play against people in other schools. There are 8 maths games to play. My favourite game is the tower block. I like the tower block game because if you get the right answer you jump up a block. There is a shop you can buy clothes to put on your sumdog characters. We are paying for the shop to open in school time.

Maths Data Handling

In maths we are doing data handling, we have been using J2e. It is a program that lets you do different stuff. We did different types of charts. Charlotte and I did a chart together. We did bar charts, block charts and graph chart. It is very useful but we have to be on glow to use J2e. It will be useful for other things as well. Me and Charlotte’s data we collected was what musical instruments people in the school play, piano one! The options were Fiddle/violin, piano,guitar and bells.

This is a link to my chart.
