W.A.L.T Add Equivalent Fractions

This is my D.L.O about adding equivalent fractions.

This strategy is really cool and can help you solve fractions.  It's easy to figure out what to do once you have the hang of it.  My teacher showed me it and helped me learn how to use the strategy.

The video is down below, I really hope you enjoy.

The Duathlon

The duathlon is something were we have to either scooter, bike or run.  The duathlon was on Thursday the 30th of march.  We had to run, bike or scooter in the high school court two laps but there were cones put in places that made the course like a zigzag and then we had to run two laps of the school field.  It was only the year 4s, year 5s and year 6s doing two laps.  The duathlon was really fun and I came third in the year 6 boys.  It was pretty challenging though.

Here are some photos of the duathlon.

My Sculpture

W.A.L.T create an original sculpture using objects around the school.
To make this I had to find items around the school and make them into a sculpture, I also had to think of an idea of what to make my sculpture into so my inspiration was dynamite for the starting bit, angler fish for the second bit and a whip for the last bit of inspiration.

My sculptures name is "The Dynamiting Angler Whip".

It was really fun making this because sometimes I had to change my original idea so it became something that I agreed with.
This is my art sculpture.
I hope you enjoy.

My Volcano plan For Reading

 This is my plan for making a volcano out of clay.

My volcano will be different to this plan.

I'm going to write the facts on piece of paper then take a video of going around the volcano when It is erupting and I’ll be saying facts at the same time.

This was easy to make because Google drawings is familiar to me and I also enjoyed making this because it was really fun to find the facts to put on my plan. My next step is to make my volcano and write the facts on a piece of paper. I was learning volcano facts to make my plan to make my D.L.O.

I hope you enjoy.

The Amazing Global Girl And Super Duffy!

On Monday the 13th of March, Duffy Theatre came to Hornby Primary School and performed a show on a rainy day.  I was excited to see what the show was.

The show started with Duffy reading a book, then a superhero name Global girl came!  Global girl helps the world from pollution and makes the world a better place!  Global girl couldn’t read, but Duffy helped her read.  Global girl grabbed a guitar and started strumming and singing, what she sung was “We can work together, we can make the earth better, we can change, we can change, we can change”.  

Global girl had great ideas to help the world, they were, walk places instead of taking a bus or driving, plant grass seeds and saplings in the desert, turn lights off when you leave a room and take short showers. But global girl kept on stuffing up and she messed up the grass seeds to plant in the desert and instead plants rose seeds in the desert, she was also supposed to push a raining cloud out of Austria but instead pushed one out of Australia!  

Duffy gets a cape from Global girl and they work together to make clouds! Global girl’s boss tells Duffy to go to another world and help that world read without making them have pollution.  After that we got to ask them some questions and then we went back to our classes.  I really enjoyed it.  The thing I learnt was that the world is getting too much pollution.

The end.

The “Special” Present!

On one fine afternoon I was playing call of duty modern warfare on my Xbox 360.  My mum came home and I saw something in her hands, it was a box!  I was thinking, “Oh boy! What has she got me this time?”  She dropped it on the table, the box caught my eye.  She opened the blinds, “Aah!”  I opened the box slowly, A puppy jumped out!  I’ve always wanted a puppy!  I can’t believe mum got me one!  I feel happy!  I pick the dog up and…  I can’t believe it, mum got me a deformed dog, it has half a left front leg!  I feel betrayed!  I fell rage!  I dropped the dog on the floor away from me like it’s my enemy!

The dog finds a ball and picks it up, the dog kicked the ball to me so I kicked it back, the ball landed in the box then the dog runs into the box!  The dog made me laugh a little, I smile at the dog but then it looks at me, so I make an angry face to make it look like I hate it.  The dog runs up to me with the ball in his mouth, then the dog dropped the ball so I picked up the ball and put it in my pocket, I was feeling happy!

I picked up my crutches and walked towards the door.  I said, “Mum we’re going outside!”.  As I walked outside I was thinking that it’s good to have someone like me to play with, because I have half a left leg as well!  So me and the dog went outside to play with the ball, so I named him Player.

THE END!!!
