Day 15 | It doesn't feel like the Easter Hols

We normally love our school holidays. A week or two of just hanging out with Mum and Daddy, being able to stay up later is all really cool.

But at this point we have been off school for three weeks. Yes we do learning each day, but we also have loads of free time. It's easy to get bored, or to just feel like doing nothing.

Mum asked us what we wanted to do for the Easter holidays, did we want it all 'off school' or to work one week and not the other? We decided that as Theo was at his Dad's and Henry was at his Mummy's for the second week of the holidays, we would like to do some learning during week one.

Mum said that was ok, but that it was going to be very laid back as she needs a break too.

ELLA: Yay Joe Wickes is still doing P.E. each day. He did some new exercises today that I didn't full know how to do. It was hard but fun. After P.E. I had a shower to cool down and it was nice to change from my leggings and smelly t-shirt into jeans and a top.

Mum then set us all a challenge to make a rocket from lego. Henry wasn't in a sharing mood, so Theo and I worked together and Henry built his own. I really enjoyed making it and it was fun to build something.



I read some more of my book School for Good and Evil, its a thinking book and it makes me think a lot. My goal is to finish the book by the end of April, I am on Chapter 11 now so I think I will achieve it.
Ella's attempt

At lunchtime I had some toast, and then Mum, Daddy, Theo and me had an interesting conversation about motorbikes. Mum and Daddy were a little silly at times which made Theo and me laugh.

Mum trying to show my how to fit everything on the page.

This afternoon I tried to do a still life drawing, Mum hasn't set one up before and so she feels it was a little too hard. I managed to draw the plant, but because I made it so big I couldn't fit in the buddha, incense or ting-sha. I know for the next time I do it I need to work on the sizes I make things so that everything fits in.

THEO: Today was a good day. I enjoyed starting with Joe Wickes and am happy he is doing P.E. during what should be the holidays. A bit of me wishes we didn't have to do any learning, but at the same time its boring being stuck inside so much.


I really wish we had a bigger garden, like I do at my Dads, so that we could play football together and have a trampoline. Our garden is really small but we do have a sheep field at the back and it was cool to see some baby lambs.

It was my turn to walk to the shop today with Aaron, I counted 24 rainbows between our house and the shop. Our village seemed really strange as it was so quiet. I'm happy everyone is staying indoors now.


I played a bit of Skyblocks with my best friend from school. Mum keeps forgetting to sort out the daily Zoom meeting with school, so its nice I can chat to him when playing Minecraft.

After lunch I worked on one of Meccano sets it was really hard, and I got very frustrated with some of the small bits. Mum and Aaron helped though and so I managed to get through a few more of the steps. I am hoping to have it finished before I go to my Dads on Friday.

HENRY: We made rockets, they go fast like Sonic. I played the witch on the broom with Sonja outside.

Pollution in our Oceans

Image
Right now pollution is in our oceans, which is not good if we don’t stop now our oceans will be a waste bin for plastic. So here are 5 things the plastic is doing to our oceans. 1. is making our beaches look like trash The beach is a nice place family and friends can go to. Unforceitly the plastic washes up on the sand making it not as nice as we would wish. 2. marine animals dying These poor creatures are being killed because of pollution. The reason they are dying is because they ever eat the plastic or get stuck in it which is the reason they die. 3. marine wildlife home being taken over by plastic Would you like your home to be covered in old plastic? We certainly wouldn’t but the same goes for the marine wildlife they don’t like their home being destroyed by plastic. 4. there is 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans This is a handy thing to know because that is a lot of plastic in our oceans but that ocean doesn’t only belong to marine wildlife it belongs to us as well and

The Milky Way

Did you know that the milky way isn't just a bar of chocolate? It is a galaxy in our Universe, here are some cool facts about the Milky Way. There are over 200 billion stars in the Milky Way. The Milky Way is only a medium sized galaxy with an estimated 200 billion stars. The largest galaxy we know of is called IC 1101 and has over 100 trillion stars. The Milky Way is also really dusty and gassy. About 10-15% of the Milky Way’s visible matter is made of dust and gas, with the rest being stars. On a clear night, the dusty ring of the Milky Way can be seen in the night sky. The Milky Way was made of over galaxies  In order for the Milky Way to achieve its current size and shape it has consumed other galaxies throughout its history. Our galaxy is currently consuming the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy by adding the smaller galaxy’s stars to its own spiral. The Milky Way is almost as old as the universe itself.Scientists estimate that the Universe is about 13.7 billion years old and that the

Day 13 | A day off

Image
Hello, Today we had a day off from home-school. This was because our Mum was having a bad day health wise and needed to be able to rest, and Daddy was really busy. THEO: I have played on the computer ALL DAY!!! It was really cool as I have a sword to level up in Minecraft and so it was nice to be able to just do that. ELLA:  I decided to do some colouring, and have spent some time reading my book. Finishing the book was the monthly goal I set myself, so I'm trying to read a chapter a day. I also watched a bit of Sonic on TV with Henry. HENRY (as told to Ella & Theo): I played with my toys, I like my Incredibles toys and L.O.L boys. I dressed up as Elsa and sang lots. I watched Sonic on TV. I made the Bolognaise for tea with Daddy. It felt nice to have a day off on a Thursday but it was a little weird too! Not doing any work felt strange but Mum said we would have learnt stuff without knowing it. We're not really sure what she means but she seems happy.
