Last day of homeschool! 

Unfortunately, I had some bad news.  My goldfish Bubbles has died.  His friend Goldie Goldfish died 2 years ago and we kept him in the freezer so when this day came they could be buried together. Dad dug a hole under the bird table (there are fish on it so it is an appropriate headstone).  We held a wake and the catering was supplied by Dominos!

I did some colouring and we also watched some episodes of 'The Floor is Lava' on Netflix which is really funny. Here are my pictures:

I started the day with a Maths paper. I did really well and got 30/35.  I then did some handwriting.

I then did some reading and answered some questions.

 Then we had an afternoon of craft.  I had sorted my clothes out earlier in lockdown and I gave lots of clothes to my cousins.  There was also a bag with clothes that were worn out and not good enough to give to the charity shops.  So I dug around in the bag and made some new clothes!  Although I don't think I'd go out of the house in any of them! Look what I did:

I have had a subscription to Maths Whizz and I got to the end - I'd done all the lessons.  So my mum said I should do the test again that I did when we first started doing Maths Whizz.  This took about an hour and covered all of the topics from place value, fractions, ratio, equations etc.  

I then did some handwriting in my exercise books and as a reward for being good in lockdown mum has said I can choose some left handed pens and pencils so I can keep improving.

I then read a poem called 'The Revival of Crumbledown School'.  I then answered the questions and had a go at writing my own acrostic poem.  

Then I looked at limericks and wrote about some of the teachers in school:

There once was a teacher Mr A

Who always had something to say

He said 'bye' to Dubai

And  Class 4 then said 'Hi'

'Welcome to the best school in Haigh!'

There once was a teacher Mrs Ingham

Who fancied herself wearing gingham

She was terribly nice

And never thought twice

If kids needed help she would ring 'em!

There once was a Headteacher Mr Woods

Who always liked his sweet puds

He loved chocolate and cream 

But was never mean

and when the choir sung he was in floods!

So we started the day by visiting family and popping into school to drop off gifts for the staff at school.  It was so nice to see people and I can't wait to be back in September.

By the time we got home it was lunch - easy day so far.  After lunch Mum set me a short reading task about Bees.  I then answered some questions.

I did some maths next. First I looked at locus and loci. 

I then did some work on lowest common multiples.  Mum explained and then I did 5 questions.  First I worked out the prime factors of each number and then multiplied them. Here is my work.  I just slipped up on the last one.

It's the final week of school.  We did some English first.  I read the story of Romeo and Juliet and watched the animated tale.  I then watched a summary of the play and answered some questions.

I then did a Maths Reasoning paper so I could see which topics I need to work on.  My mum went through the paper with me and on 3 questions I started them and was doing it write and then wrote the wrong number in the box - I could kick myself!

I also did some colouring.  I have being doing flowers and today I started a bird.  I will post when it is finished.

After lunch I did some more Maths.  I had to work out the common factors with a set of numbers.

I then watched the film 'Romeo & Juliet' by Baz Luhman.  I really enjoyed it.  Here is the trailer.

Friday 10th July 2020

My mum was in work but she still left me some work to do.

I did did a reading comprehension about Elon Musk and Space X and answered the questions. I got 14/16.

I then did another 2 pages in my handwriting book.

I also did some art.  Mum sent me a link from the Tate modern website and I had to listen to the sounds and draw a creature for that sound.  Here is the link I followed:

Tate: Sound Creatures

Here are my sound creatures:

I then did the oak national English and Maths lessons.

Thursday 9th July 2020

My mum was in work today so she left me some work to do and Dad supervised. I did 4 out of the 5 things she left me to do - unlucky for me I didn't get to Maths!

The first task was a reading comprehension.  I read 'Adventures with Pip and answered the questions.  I got 15/16 which I am very pleased with.

I then did some handwriting in one of my new workbooks.

The third task was to research Aboriginal art and to draw a picture.  I look at lots of images and videos and noticed some of the things like hand prints and arrows.  I also noticed there was some reflection too.  I came up with two designs and then picked my favourite.

 I then read 3 chapters of 'POG'.

Finally when mum got home I did the Oak national Maths and English.
