Actually it’s an answer.

If the answer is sausages what could the question be?

Be imaginative!

We worked on a tricky maths investigation last week.

We had to make as many numbers as we could between 1 and 40 using just the numbers 1,2,3 and 4 – once only and one addition, subtraction, multiplication and division sign in each sum.

Have a look at our work and see how well we did.

If you have any ideas for numbers we missed, put them in the comments!

Here is the video of our completed timeline, from the Big Bang to Christmas 2011.

We’d be delighted if you would add key events (world or personal) to the timeline in the comments section.

Yesterday we learned about timelines.

We decided on some important events in our lives and in the world and put them in order on our table to make a simple timeline.

Here is a video of our timelines.

Today in class we tried to improve simple sentences to help make our writing more interesting.

We began the sentences simply and developed them.

Dylan ran.

Dylan ran away.

The curious boy ran away from home.

The curious boy with the magnifying glass ran away from home to find a tiny horse.

Michael thought.

The boy thought about cats.

The smart boy thought about ginger cats.

The smart boy, who was holding little brothers hand, thought about getting him a ginger cat.

As you can see if we improve our sentences by adding more detail, they are more entertaining to read.

Today in class we discussed using the Internet safely.

Firstly we talked about what is good about the Internet.

Zoe said we can play games and send e-mails.

Rachel said we can go onto youtube and watch videos. You can also visit the school blog.

Kai said we can listen to music on the internet. You can chat to your friends and watch movies.

Luke said you can skype and see people and talk to people you haven’t seen in a while.

Cara said you can talk to your friends.

Ellis said you can play games against your friends with online games.

Emily said you can watch films.

Kristinna said you can use a range of social network sites like twitter.

Ami said we can go onto websites and find out facts about Egypt and information about how to make Mummies !!

Adam said we can look up places to go for your holidays.

Matthew said you can find where places are.

Andrew said you can go on google maps or google earth.

Emma said that we can look up facts that you don’t already know and you can find out how to make things which you didn’t know before.

Melissa said we can find out what type of pets are good and where you can find them.

Sasha said you can make new friends on the internet.

Leah said you can play games which are safe like club penguin.

Then we talked about things which aren’t so good about the internet.

Adam said that people can say nasty things to you.

Ellis said that people can fight online.

James said that there are cyber bullies who will bully people online.

Emma said that you might meet someone who isn’t who they say they are.

Caitlyn said that you can do a google search for your own name and see what comes up in the results.

Jamie said that you might get a virus from some parts of the internet.

Emily said that your photo might be on someone else’s web page and you’re not happy with that.

Keri said that on the internet you see adverts which say you have won somethng. When you click on this, it may lead to a virus.

Leah said that you need to be careful when you are talking to someone online. Do you really know who you’re talking to?

Adam said that people could find out who you are from the internet.

Sasha says that somebody might e-mail you who you don’t know and try to trick you into something.

To find out about how to stay safe on the Internet we can look at the Internet safety page and watch the Brainpop animation which is on there.

Have a look at our exciting video.

As well as clearly enjoying the experience, the class were able to describe what had happened and why.

Ami said that when Miss Razzaq put the water, baking powder and vinegar into the bottle the mixture all bubbled up to the top and the rocket shot into the air.

Emma knew that Bicarbonate of Soda and vinegar reacted together to make the rocket take off.

Shasha added that it shot a long way onto the sky!

Caitlyn reminded us that if you are going to try this at home you should make sure you have an adult to help you.

This afternoon in P4 we have been researching the Egyptians for our topic. We used this website.

As well as answering some questions we came up with some fascinating facts.

Emma, Cara and Leah found out that there was an Egyptian God of Death, a God of the Sky and there is a secret door in the Pyramids.

Keri, Alicia and Eilidh found out that Rameses the Second had over 200 wives, 96 sons and 60 daughters. He wouldn’t have worried about Christmas presents though the girls found out, as Christmas wasn’t celebrated as Jesus hadn’t been born in Ancient Egyptian times, and Egyptians worshipped many Gods, not one God. They also discovered that Egypitans bathed in the River Nile and their soap was made out of animal fat and chalk. When people where Mummified oil and salt was put onto their skin. They also found out that Egyptians had 10 days in their week instead of 7. Keri thought it would be hard going to school for 7 days without a break!

Luke, Levi and Cameron found out that Tutankhamun was named the boy King after his Dad died as he was a King from the age of 9. They learned that most of the artifacts in Britain come from Sakhara. They also found that flint knives have very sharp edges and can be used for shaving and hairdressing.

Melissa, Katie and Emily found out that Cleopatra, who was a Queen, killed herself using a poisonous snake. They also found out that Tutankhamun’s father died when he was 25, and that Tutankhamun became King when he was only 9 (no pressure P5’s !)

Rachael and Sasha found out that the Egyptians made pink vases from Alabaster. They also found that the Egyptians made paper from plant called Papyrus.

Kai, Jack and Elle found out that most of the artefacts from Egypt which are currently in Britain were found in the 19th Century.

Jamie, Tyrese and Andrew found out that Julius Caeser, who was a Roman Emporer, was married to Cleopatra and so was Mark Anthony.

Logan and Matthew discovered that Tutankhamun was the 12th King of the dynasty.

Zoe, Ellis and Amy found out that when Tutankhamun was King, two generals took a lot of the decisions for him until he was older. He died of a head injury when he was 19.

Chloe and Ami discovered that Anubis was the God of death and mummification.
