Tuesday el Cinco de Mayo

The first lesson I did was work for Mr Atkinson.  I looked at electricity and the materials which are conductors and insulators.  I had to match the material with the object and say whether I though it would conduct electricity.  I watched the bizesize videos and completed the task then I posted my answer.  I also answered some questions about why you shouldn't use a knife to get toast out of the toaster and why you shouldn't touch anyone who had been electrocuted.

My next lesson was Maths with Mr Barton.  We did some more work on maths problems which used a mixture of seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks.









Next, I did the Spanish lesson with Senorita Harrison.  The date is the 5th May.  In Mexico this is is an important day.  Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican victory against French forces led by Emperor Napoleon III in the Battle of Puebla, which took place on 5 May 1862.

In the Spanish lesson today we learned our numbers up to 31 and the Months of the year so we could answer the question Cuando es tu cumpleanos?


I would say:

Mi cumpleanos es el veinteocho de enero.

I enjoy the Spanish lessons because my mum's accent makes me laugh!

I then did the White Rose Maths worksheet and watched the Picture News assembly about Toys. I chatted with my mum about Toys and decided to design a toy that could grow with you and still be useful when you are grown up!  Here is my idea:

I think it's good because you can still cuddle and get some comfort with a pillow but it doesn't seem babyish.  It can also make your room look nice.

I then had the idea to do a Dragon's Den pitch to my mum.  I don't think mum was impressed with my pricing!

I then went in the garden to read my book.  I have Tap and Modern dance lessons on ZOOM later.
