Forces

We have been learning about forces with my maths group the ovals.
First we did a balloon experiment. We first attached a piece of string to two chairs and then we put a straw on.  Then we taped a balloon to the straw then we blew up the balloon and let go it went down the string. This is because of the air force of the air trying to get out which pushes the balloon.

Reading

This term for reading me Fin and Fergus did a puppet pals of how to train a dragon.

This is our summary of the book.

Fireworks poem

Fast falling fireworks.
In the dark sky.
Red ,green and orange.
Ending soon no.
Wow.
On the ground ready to be lighted.
Raining shiny shards of glass.
King of the world up so high.
Stars in the sky shining bright.

Maths

Dancing Raisins

I drew our experiment. I chose dancing raisins. The raisins went up and down because of the CO2 bubbles but in water there are no CO2 bubbles.

The Dark tunnel

One day when I was walking down the noisy street I fell into a dark hole. It was as deep as the centre like the earth. It was wet and boiling but then suddenly I saw a bright light through one tunnel and there were moving shadows. I went through the tunnel with moving shadows following me. It was scary. I keep thinking I see humans but they were like monsters. Suddenly I saw the bright light again I went towards it. Then suddenly I saw a Cyclops. It wanted to battle me so I ran he chased me...

Today for maths I learnt percentages. This question was... what percent of the box is green? the answer is 74% because there are 74 green boxes out of 100.

It was a slimy beast it had a big helmet with antennas coming out of its helmet. It was 50 times the size of me. "Run" I screamed the sand felt like hot coal so I ran in to the salt water then the alien followed but when it hit the water he burned and that was the end of him so I went home.

Writing

Once upon a time there was a hidden valley. In the valley there was a boy he could jump rivers and climb to the top of every tree in the valley and he could do lots of amazing things. He loves to eat fish and he loves to sit around the fire. One day when he was sitting around the fire a wolf came. The villagers said "run!!!!!" 

"NO!!!" the boy said "they are attracted to things that run. So wait and see what they do. If they attack, get your weapon and attack them back but you must not die. Now get your weapons." We got our pet bears and attacked.

The rubbish robot

Once upon a time there was a rubbish bin just sitting on the beach. Suddenly a storm came. One night there was lightning ZAP!!! Then all the neighbours said “What was that?". The lightning had shocked a whole lot of bins. Suddenly there was a rumble!!! and a BANG!!! like something was running around. Everyone woke up and screamed and went outside and the rubbish bins were alive! 5 of them were nice and introduced themselves. "Hi, my name is Smelly, my name is Happy, my name is Jumpy, my name is Lovely, my name is Giggly, and that’s the evil one Smash".

Once upon a time there lived a boy that lived in a city of hot boiling magma.
Suddenly he heard a bang and a boom and then he saw what the big bang was.... it was a dinosaur. "Run!" they said, but  the dinosars were actually good. "Ok"  they said "Do you want a ride"and he replied "of course" and they all lived hapily ever after.

The creepers and the spiders are here... “arhhhhh!!!” I started to collect some wood suddenly I saw the monsters, creepers and spiders start to chase me. Suddenly I heard a BOOM!!! “What was that?” When I turned around I saw my house had blown up and the monsters stopped chasing me “I must build my house again.” “oh no, why do I only have 12 pieces of wood?” It took me all night “done” I said finally, “wow”!!! “I wasted all my wood”.

If we shared

If we shared the world would be a much better place. People won’t be called mean names. No one will be hungry. if we share we will get lots and lots of friends. People will play with you and like you and be friends for life even when you are forty and even when you're older and you can share smiles and houses. You can share pets and friends. You can share lots of things as long as your'e nice and there will be no burglers because there will be people sharing things with them. That’s why you need to share.

Fractions

THE PATH TO DESTINY AND HORRER

One day in the land of China, in the forest of Azkaban, there were two paths and 4 boys (me/Ashton, fin, Aaron and Thomas). Aaron and Thomas went down the mossy lane and they saw a terrifying dragon and a ghost dragon slayer. Then Fin and I went up the stairs. It was worth it because there was a field of leprucorns up there. They gave us 500,000 buckets of money. We bought a unicorn and a leprucorn and a very very tame dragon. We had to feed it souls of people and they lived haply ever after.
