Thursday 28th April 2011

First we started the day with handwriting and touch typing and I found touch typing quite hard because you had to try and feel for all the keys. Then we went on to doing some grammar work from the grammar textbooks and it was really boring because the textbooks are quite old. After that we had to calculate the profit that we had made from the next days of the theme park, billy baboon is the name of the leading table. Then it was the afternoon so we started our fact files on Shetland and Skeld. An example of what we have been putting in them is: How many people live in Shetland and how big the island is in square kilometres. It was really easy to do because we knew lots about Shetland and Skeld. Finally we read on with the class novel and it is getting quite interesting now because the person that was meant to have died isn’t actually dead.

Firstly the p1-3 class had to write about the royal family and on average they said it was boring. Then they were painting some union jack flags to put up in the school for the royal wedding and they said as a class that it was ok. After that they designed a crown and the whole class liked doing that. Finally they did maths which they all found really boring.

When we got to school we started making paper plates with William and Kate on them everyone enjoyed it.Then we went for PE with the whole school and we played some games outside.Everyone was happy because it was such a good day and then we went for our break before the Wedding.

We saw a turkey it was showing off by fluffing out its feathers – Hermione can make brilliant turkey noises!

The bit our class liked most was the play park.

On Fiday we had a woman come into our school with some animals and she called her company Animal Magic. We were just about to read our class novel “The Blurred Man” when the Sandness school arrived and then we lined up at the door of our classroom. After that we went up to the gym hall to see the animals that she had brought in with her. She brought a snake, a scorpion, a toad, 2 crickets, a giant millipede and an african albino hedgehog to show us. Everyone got to hold the animals and found the hedgehog especially cute.  everybody in the class even held the turantula she brought in which some people including Mrs Langly thought was pretty scary.  After that it was nearly dinner time so we had our break time and read some of the class novel. After lunch then we had to bring the tables down from the art room and re-arrange the classroom. Then we had golden time, where Stephanie made a really good dog out of lego, and went home.
