Video conference

Yesterday ( 4th May ) we did a video conference. We enjoyed being asked questions by our friends in Denmark and we liked seeing you on the webcam. Some of the questions you asked were quite hard and some people learned some things by the questions.

Bee said, "I thought it was quite interesting to see the Danish people on the webcam."

Ponakins thought , "I really enjoyed it and I thought that it was exciting."

Brownie thought, "It was fun, but scary being in front of loads of people."

Menace thought, "It was great."

We all really enjoyed it and maybe the next time we could ask some questions about Denmark.

Ponakins and Bee xxx :)

Maths Road Show

-Brownie and Moonbeam-

On Friday the 28th April we had our maths roadshow. A maths roadshow is when P 2-7 go and do loads of maths puzzles and games! They were laid out from 1 to 100. There were 4 sections: very easy was green, yellow was easy, red was hard and blue is very hard. We set them out round the hall in order and then were given a sheet to mark down the things we'd done. A teacher would check them once we'd finished.

Moonbeam
I was working with Menace. We only got 2 puzzles completed because we spent most of the time trying to figure out one of the hard puzzles. We didn't actually manage to finish it in the time we were given in the hall so Mr Devereux let us finish it it in the class room. The actual puzzle was to move wooden circles between 3 poles without putting one that was bigger on top of one that was smaller while counting how many moves in was by tallying. The total of our moves was 123. I think the maths roadshow is great and would do it again!

Brownie
My partner was Izzy. We got 1 puzzle done but it was the second hardest! We spent most of our time on the hardest puzzle in the whole hall! It was putting cards down in a certain order. The second hardest one was putting the same number next to it it was so hard. I'm proud of myself for doing the second hardest puzzle. I really enjoyed it and I'd do it again!

Dance workshop

On the 26th of April a professional dancer came in and taught us some street dance. Her name was Beth Noble. She first taught us a routine and then she showed us some counter balances. Then we had to make up our own counter balences with a partner and put them into our own dance.
Here are some of the things are class thought about the dance workshop:

Moonbeam: "It was really fun and active!"
Nevis: "It was really, really fun and I found it very, very active!" :D
Izzy: "I thought the dance workshop was really fun and active and it inspired me to do more dancing!" =P
Ponakins: "I think it was really fun. I learnt loads of stuff and I would love to do it again."
Murrzo: "I think it was really, really, really fun and I learnt how to do loads of new stuff!"

Visit from...

On Friday, 22nd April, 2010 our class got a visit from a few teachers from the high school we are going to after the summer holidays. Mr Stirling and Mr Greenaway were talking to us about what we will be doing in our high school and also the timetable. Mr Stirling and Mr Greenaway are both P.E teachers and guidence teachers. (:
We get put into different houses. There are Lammerlaw, Garlton and Traprain. We won't find out what house we are in until the two-day visit.
We learnt about some of the subjects that we are going to learn at high school. Here are a few: science, maths, English, geography, drama, I.C.T, music and most of the same things we get taught at primary school. The lessons are about 1 hour. -.-
Kizzy and Rascal are really looking forward to high school to meet new friends and the start of deciding what we want to do when we are older.

Thanks for reading,

Rascal & Kizzy

Me and my home.

My name is Trine and I´m 12 years old. I live in Stadil in Westjütland. I go to football two times a week, I sing and I go to FDF. I help my mother and father at home. I have no animals and I hate spiders. I help my mother with baking. I have a brother and a sister. My brother´s name is Mads and he is 18 years old and my sister´s name is Karina and she is 21 years old. She does not live at home more.

My day.

I wake up 6.30 in the morning. My mother and my brother go to the work and my father goes to his job 6.45. So there I am alone at the home. I go by bike to school every day and the school starts 8. 20. When I come home from school, I empty the automatic dishwasher. So then I do my homework. So I go to my hobbies.

I love.

I love football and my favourite football team is Liverpool. They play in England. My favourite players are Fanando Torres and Steven Gerrard and Daniel Agger.

I love my friends too. I have not a best friend.

Jobs.

My mother is on a window factory and my dad drives tractor. My brother is training to carpenter and my sister is about to train for a social worker. My sister lives in Nørresundby.

I’m home alone every day I come home from school.

My favourite animal is a dog and a giraffe. I do not know what I want to be when I grow older.

My eastern holiday.

Sunday I was to christening in the church with Eric and Birthe. They have children. Their names are Steffen and Katrine. They come from Irland.

Before we left I thought I would bore me. We were in the church 10:30 o`clock. There was one who played trumpet. It sounded not very good. The little baby was named Christopher Mathias. When we got back to Eric and Birthe I stood just a little and was bored but then we had to eat, I came to sit next to Louise who is as old as me. We have played handball some years ago. Her brother`s name is Nicholas, I also played handball with him. I know him. I also sat next to a girl named Katja . I do not know who she was. But she was very sweet.
First we got patty shells I love them. We got them always on Dec. 25th when my grandmother lived-She made the best patty shells, but she died 2 years ago. For main course we got some meat and potatoes and sauce and for dessert we had icecream cake.

After we had eaten Katja, Eric, Louise's mother and my mother and father and me went for a walk.
When we got home we started to play cards. So we were going to have dinner there. We had bread and all sorts of sliced cold meat.

After we had eaten Katja, Louise and I get out and jump on the trampoline. Then Katja went home and me and Louise would go for a walk with Christopher in the baby-carriage,when we got home from the walk I was home I said goodbye and then we drove home.

Peder

Me and my home.

Our house.

My name is Olivia me and my family live in a small town named Vedersø. But we are also building a house in a town named Madum.

My room.

This is my room now.

I love my room, the only thing there is annoying is that I have no door into my room, and my room is laying right out to the kitchen, so it is hard to get some peace. Thou I love my room I am looking forward to get my new room, it is bigger and I will get to redo it all.

The top floor is all my room. I can also pick the room down the hallway, but I am pretty sure that I am going to pick the room on the top floor.

Our horses.

At our new house in Madum we are also having a stable where we have a lot of horses. In Madum we have tree big horses and a pony, while we have a big horse named Dexter in a big city named Århus. The reason Dexter is in Århus is that he is getting trained to run race.

Our cats.

We have three cats. The one of them is a male his name is Bertil, we really had two male cats but Bertil´s brother whose name was Prop ran away with his mother. I miss Prop a lot he was very tame and I could get him to sit, lick, jump and walk right beside me. Before Prop and Bertil´s mother ran away she got a kitten who we couldn’t find a name for. But when she got tree kittens we decided to name her Dychess and her kittens Toulouse, Ballios, and Marie after the movie Aristocats, but now Ballios is disappeared and Marie is dead so we only have Toulouse back.

Our dog.

Our dogs name is Fusti. She is a very happy dog and she licks all the time it can be very annoying and we are trying to train her so she won’t lick, but it is very hardJ.

Except for the fact that Fusti licks a lot, she is a very god dog, she has never bidden anyone before and I don’t think that she is ever going to do it.

My friends.

My friends name is Laura and Ida. They are very nice and we have never got mad at each other, though we are very different types. Laura likes playing piano, I like playing piano to but I am not far as god as Laura is. Ida likes rap music I don’t like it very much, but we both likes playing badminton and we play double with each other, but we also play single. I am a more quiet type I like to do creative things and I almost, always want the things to be perfect.

Me and my home.

My name is Laura. I am 12 years old I live in Western Jutland in a very little town called Alrum/Stadil. We have a very little farm there. I have two sisters and one brother. My mother´s name is Jette, she is a freelancer. My father’s name is Henrik, he is a furniture director. I have one dog,two cats and two goats. I love animals and I really want a rabbit. My dog’s name is Unique, and it is very nice. My cat’s name is Novig and Mullergøj. My goat’s name is Vimse and kalypso. My big sister’s name is Emilie. My brother’s name is Jakob and my little sister’s name is Ane.

I have two wonderful friends named Olivia and Ida.

The reason why Olivia is my best friend is that she always is happy and funny!

She is all that I need to be happy if I am sad.

Olivia is really good at shopping! And she always has some new clothes.

She helps me when I can not find something, and she is a perfectionist and always correct me. It can be very annoying but it can be fun sometimes. Olivia and me have known each other since we were born.

The reason why Ida is my best friend is that I can talk about everything, and she understands it.

She is very funny and I love her humour. Her family is a little strange at the fun way. I can remember one time we were on the beach and we were lying in the sun. And we went out to swim and then we went home we could not fall a sleep because we got sunburn. It really hurt and it was awful!

This is my room, and I have a lot of things. My room is always a mess.

This is my dog. It was so cute when it was a puppy.

Here it is a puppy.

When my dog was a puppy it was very cheeky. It could not sleep in her own bed, so we decide it could sleep whit my brother. But one day my brother was not home, so she could sleep with me. But she did not sleep in her own bed in my room. She jumps into my bed when I have fallen asleep. And the next day she was lying on my head. I will never forget that time.
