Morning all!
Mr Biscuit is starting to walk on four paws a bit, so we locked the cat flap from one side to let him have run of the house last night, without being able to get out. Obviously, then the local stray (Oreo) got in, but couldn't get out again. This caused quite a kerfuffle at 4am, I can tell you, so I've been up a while fixing the cat flap and we've just managed to get him to swallow a tablet the size of a small car (slight exaggeration).
Anyway... it looks like ANOTHER lovely day out there! So, let's look at some photos because I'm happy to report that lots of you are still reading! Excellent. I began a new book last night - Hidden, by Paul Doiron. I love these books - they are a series about a game warden, called Mike Bowditch, who lives in the state of Maine. The stories really transport me away to another place and I get lost in the exciting wilderness and drama.
Georgie is reading the Land of Roar and can't put it down!
It's so great to have a book you can't put down. Here are more readers...
I think Jack is winning for the weirdest reading style!
So... at least 30 minutes please today. Thank you for the photos - keep them coming. Especially those of you who we still haven't seen. I'll be making phone calls from tomorrow to make sure you are all getting these blogs, are accessing the work and doing ok.
English today - I would like you to choose a family member, who is 'locked-down' with you and write a short story about something mysterious that they have started to do since the lock down, that they have never done before. This might be something as simple as reading a book, or planting seeds, but I'd like you to imagine another, more fantastic reason for this new habit. Give a full description of the person and a prediction of what will happen once we are all 'let free' again. I'll look forward to reading some of these.
Here are some pieces of creative writing from yesterday...
Very good, eh? Well done everyone.
Maths - Today we go back to BIDMAS/BODMAS/PIDMAS (depending on which version you prefer). I don't mind which section you do, but you should ALL be happy with section B and, if you can, I'd like you to try section C.
Topic/Art - People seem to be really enjoying this, so thank you for the feedback. I know that Reuben said it was the highlight of his day, so that's fantastic! I wasn't going to continue with it today, but... Now I'd like you to create the flag. I know some of you have already drawn it, but I want you to be more creative. What can you make it out of? Just HOW BIG can you make it? Did you ever watch Art Attack? Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzcZVXWRmZE It might give you some ideas. I CAN'T WAIT for the photos!
Chess - I love, love, LOVE how you are getting into this. I have now created my own user: MrCruedo - please challenge me to a game by going into Friends and searching for my username. Good luck!
Reading Comprehension - Easter theme: Chocolate on page 10 of the Schofield and Sims booklet. Answers tomorrow.
Max is doing something VERY COOL. Have you ever wanted to be a Marine Biologist? Check out: https://www.sixsenses.com/en/at-home-with-six-senses/become-a-marine-biologist-at-home
He's also riding a tandom... so be careful on the roads, that's all I'm saying...
Don't forget Joe Wick - keep getting the exercise and the fresh air.
Why can't you hear a pterodactyl go to the toilet? Because the p is silent! Sorry...
Here are some more of your photos. Stay safe and have a lovely day everyone.
Mr C
Jack chilling.
Caitie has sea monkeys... I know!
Finally, I'll ask you... if you see a robbery at an Apple Store... does that make you an iWitness?
That's it for me :)
