Today we finished our models. Our clown looks really good - we coloured in his hair - we couldn't use paint because his hair is made of sponge and the paint would have got absorbed into it. Miss cut loads of the sponge so that it would fit on his head - we used the cuttings as sideburns!

I did my post topic assessment today - I did really well; Miss gave me a team point because I wrote too much - I didn't have enough room to write everything I knew! I did some diagrams as well.

I didn't do my blog yesterday because it was too late, so two day's blog again today!

Yesterday, I can't really remember much, but we did this swimming safety thing, but we all felt really stupid because we had to pretend to swim without a swimming pool. Today we made out movies which weren't that bad after all.

Today in maths we did problems about finding fractions of numbers like 'what's two-thirds of nine' - that sort of thing.

We did some more work on our models today; the paint had come off the gloves, but it had dyed the gloves a lavender colour which looked quite good.

Today we painted our models - me and Summer painted the body green and the trousers and the gloves purple and we did the head a skin colour. On Monday we're going to do the shoes bright pink and put the mouth and eyes and hair on the model.

Three days blog today because dad has been away:
Tuesday
Today its only a short blog because it's very late, so - today in maths we went in the ICT suite and played fraction games; it was really fun.

After that in literacy I did some rhyming poems and they were really fun too.

Wednesday
It was our last day of swimming - we got to play with the floats. In maths we had to add fractions and in literacy we had to start doing our poems (I finished mine in my big writing book).

Today
We started our clown model - it's looking really good. We did lots of different fractions (mixed fractions) and I did an illustration for the poem I wrote yesterday.

Today in maths we did adding fractions - it was the hardest thing I've ever done in my little life! There was about 16 questions, but by the time I finished them, miss had put more questions on the board and I could never catch up - it was like Achilles and the Tortoise.

After play I wrote some poems - we got in to groups and I was the leader. They showed us a poem and we discussed what we liked about it and what we didn't like. There was a picture on it and it was about a haunted house and we said we didn't like the picture because it was too colourful; i8t should have been black to make it more scary.

In PHSCE guess what our topic was - drugs! We were talking about heroin and that sort of thing.

Today was red nose day, so we all had to wear red and I wore a red nose too. We had comprehension and in maths we did fractions. We did activities in the afternoon - we could either do a design of a red nose, a poem or a poster - I did all three!

We did our singing assembly today which went really well. I was in the front row and Mr Collier gave me a team point for my singing!

Today we planed our models and did maths (super spicy test - I got them all right).

Yesterday I forgot my blog again - we did Carroll diagrams in maths and that's about all I remember - oh, we didn't do ICT and we did comprehension.

Today was another great day! We actually did swimming this week so what we did was use our flippers and did the back stroke (which is rubbish because I already know it). When we came back it was play time and after play time we did ICT which was making very short videos.

In maths today we had to do interpreting data - we had to answer 7 questions about a pictogram like how many were there all together and so on. We didn't do literacy today because we missed a creative curriculum (CC) lesson on Friday so we did that instead of literacy. In CC we did a diagram to show how we are going to do our electric circuits.

Today, swimming was brilliant - we went on the coach with our swimming bags and got to the swimming baths, but when we got there, we were told that the bus to take us back to school had been cancelled so we had to go back to school again. So we did a poster about how to keep safe at the swimming pool instead.

In maths we did a line graph of yesterday's pancake throwing; we had to write up a conclusion of what had happened (there wasn't a link between arm length and how far we could throw a pancake).

It was parent's evening tonight and as always I got good feedback so it was a bit boring.
Today we did lots of fun things. In maths we had to predict how far we could throw a plastic pancake in a pan - only six people were allowed to do it and I was one of them. I don't think there is a correlation between arm length and how far you can throw a pancake; we are going to draw a line graph tomorrow to find out. We did lots more, but it's too late and I'm tired.

We did literacy - we did comprehension because we are learning about instructions and we had to answer questions about a set of instructions. Maths was good because all we had to do was our timetables and then Mr Collier measured our arms -and then we went up in order (longest arms first) and tomorrow we are going to try and toss a plastic pancake as far as we can and we are going to see if there is a link between arm length and how far we can toss a pancake.

The Eco Club leader came in today and he had a thermal imaging camera which was cool - we got to see the heat of everything. He had some hot water in a flask and pointed the camera at it and poured it into the cup and it showed up red through the camera.
I forgot to type up Friday's blog, so here goes....

Today we did science - we had to draw a diagram of the circuit and then we had to write down the experiment. Our table had to use the symbols when we drew the circuit.

In maths we had to do a bar chart of the number of people who died during different volcanic eruptions.

(Wednesday's Blog - I forgot to publish it!)

Today we designed our own secret garden. We could do lollipop trees and things like that - I didn't finish mine. We did some singing practice for our singing assembly and we did some compass directions in maths.
Today I finished off my secret garden art thing and it might go on display (I don't know yet). In maths we did a bar chart and a pictogram of the VEI of a volcano (the Volcanic Explosive Index).

Today was a very fun day because at the start of the day Miss Brazil was in a meeting, so Miss McDowel looked after us but all she had to do was do the reading so that's all right. We had maths and we had to do angles (we had to identify what types of angles they were) and I got to go on the internet because I finished mine so quickly.

In science we had to do circuits; we had some wires and a bulb and a battery and we had to work out how to get the bulb to light. We tried two bulbs and one battery and two batteries and one bulb.

I helped paint the display too today - I did the little robin and helped Miss put it up - I got a team point for that. (3 team points today).
