Today my mum and daddy set me a challenge to come up with three different songs. So if I was on a desert island I would only listen to those songs. This was a very hard challenge, I couldn’t really think of only three songs, but I did in the end. Desert Island Discs is a radio show which is what gave them the idea. As well as choosing three songs I had to say why I would choose them. Miss Nothing by Pretty Reckless Again by Archive Anything You Can Do by Bernadette Peters and Tom Wopat The reasons why I would choose these I would listen to Miss Nothing because its a good song and when I'm in a meh mood I can listen to this and well feel meh. I would choose Again because its a sad song so I could listen to this and it could help me when I am in a negative mood. I would choose Anything You Can Do because when I am happy I can listen to it and if I am sad. I would also listen to it if I was on my own as I could remember putting this song in my daddy's head and annoying him with it

Today we did a "My 2020 Covid-19 Time Capsule". We did a sheet that was an 'about me' where we wrote about ourselves. Ella: I liked this activity. We had to write about how we felt and what we liked.

A few days ago Mum interviewed us for her blog , so we thought it was fun that there was an activity

Today we received an apple tree for our garden, so we decided to write our blog post about apple tress.  The life cycle of an apple tree The tree begins as a seed. You need to plant the seed in a decent sized plant pot. It will need to be watered especially on days when there is no rain. You will also need to put it in a good place in your garden so animals like dogs can’t get it. You shouldn't really have the tree inside because you don't know how big the tree will grow. Next it will turn into a seedling. You don’t have to do anything to it at this point because it doesn’t have apples on it yet so nothing needs done. All you need to do is keep on watering it. It will then turn into a sapling, again keep on watering it and we forgot to mention talk to it so it will grow quicker. There is research that suggests plants grow quicker when you talk to them or play them music. it will then grow into a tree, eventually it will produce apples and then you can do anything with them. The

Last week Henry's teacher Miss H had sent him the task of doing art in the style of Pablo Picasso. Today Mum decided that we would all have a go at doing art in his style and that our blog today could be about this famous artist. Occupation:  Artist Born:  October 25, 1881 in Málaga, Spain Died:  April 8, 1973 in Mougins, France Famous works:   The Pipes of Pan, Three Musicians, Guernica, The Weeping Woman Style/Period:  Cubism, Modern Art, Surrealism Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, famous for his paintings like 'Guernica' and for the art movement known as Cubism.  Picasso was interested in art from an early stage and his father, who was also an artist, found him to be an attentive pupil.  Don José Ruiz y Blasco began schooling his son in drawing and oil painting when the boy was seven. At the age of 13 he began to attend the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where his father was also a teacher. n 1897, Picasso began his studies at Madrid&

All marine wildlife should be protected, the African penguin being one of them. African penguins live in colonies along the Western coast and islands between South Africa and Namibia and one of their colonies, Boulders Beach, is a popular attraction for travellers visiting Cape Town. In a century African penguin numbers have dropped over 99%. The wild African penguin population has been in decline due to habitat destruction, commercial over-fishing, pollution and oil spills. At the beginning of the 20th century there were an estimated 3 million wild African penguins and today there is less than 19,000 breeding pairs left in the wild. They spend most their life hunting small fish. Unfortunately the fish moved 300 miles east. In breeding season the African penguins return to the same place but there are no fish. Meaning that with the fish 300 miles east, most the chicks don't make it.  Cristina Hagan came up with a plan. She found a place for the penguins that had a plenty of the fis

Full name: Rosa Louise McCauley Parks Born: 4 February 1913 Hometown: Tuskegee, Alabama, USA Occupation: Civil rights activist Died: 24 October 2005 Best known for: The Montgomery Bus Boycott Rosa was born in the town of Tuskegee in Alabama, a state in southern USA. Her mother was a teacher and her father a carpenter, and she had a little brother called Sylvester. After her parents separated when she was just a little girl, Rosa and Sylvester moved with their mother to Alabama’s capital city, Montgomery. Rosa Parks is best known for The Montgomery Bus Boycott, and the work she did as a Civil Rights Activitist. As a person of colour Rosa had to deal with a lot of racism every single day. Where she lived in the southern states of America there was a thing called the Jim Crow laws. Each state had slightly different ways of using these laws but they had one common goal - to make sure black citizens and white citizens led very separate lives. Understandably Rosa, her husband and lots of the

My Dad loves being in his garage with his Astra rally car. The last rally he did he broke down and he has never completed the Trackrod Rally without breaking something or having an off. He is 39 and loves everything about cars. He has a Ford Transit van and a Skoda Octavia vRS and a Vauxhall Astra Mk3 rally car. His rally car has only done a few rally and has a sequential gearbox and proper hydraulic handbrake. When Dad is competing or co driving he has to wear gloves, helmet, head and neck system, race suit and a balaclava. On the seats in the rally car they have their names on the seats, Dad has his on the drivers seat and Stuart Popplewell has his on the co drivers seat. Stuart reads the pace notes what helps navigate Dad through the stage. My Dad was the first person in the history of rallying to win the Open Rally in a non Ford Escort car. His lucky number is 43 as that was the number that was on the car when he won that rally. The rally is called the Roger Albert Clark Rally. He

Today I decided to learn about Winston Churchill who was the British prime minister who helped to lead us to victory during World War 2.  Winston Churchill was born on the 30th of November 1874. He died on the 24th January 1965. He was 90 years old when he died. Winston Churchill died of a stroke. He became prime minister for the second time in 1951 when he was 77 years old. Winston Churchill was related to Princess Diana.  He wrote a number of historical books and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. He was named an honorary citizen of the United States. Churchill married Clementine Hozier in 1908. They had five children including four daughters and one son. Winston did not do well in school as a child. He also had trouble getting into the Royal Military College. Although, once in, he finished near the top of his class. He was not healthy during World War II. He had a heart attack in 1941 and pneumonia in 1943. He is remembered for successfully leading Britain in world war 2 (ww

V.E. Day is Victory in Europe Day. It marks the end of World War II in Europe on 8th May 1945, when the Nazi forces officially surrendered to the Allies.  It marked the end of World War II in Europe when the Nazi forces officially surrendered to the Allies. The day was a public holiday, where people sang and danced outside their homes, and held street parties, although World War II didn't officially end until 2 nd  September 1945, when the Japanese formally surrendered. V.E. Day was important because it meant an end to the spread of Nazism and Adolf Hitler's empire (the Third Reich). It was the end of a war which had lasted six years, during which millions had died and millions more suffered intense privations. Families, homes and entire cities had been destroyed. This year marks the 75th Anniversary of V.E. Day, the government had made the decision that today would be a bank holiday but because of Covid-19 the celebration is very different to what was planned. There w

Today I turned 10. It was really strange having a birthday during lock down as it meant that I couldn't have a party, or see my friends or do the things I had planned. If we weren't having lock down the plan for my birthday had been to go shopping in Manchester and then go to my first ever gig. With my Dad we would have gone go-karting as we do every year, but again we can't do that because of lock down.  Mum and Aaron and everyone did make it a really nice day though. I woke up and Mum and Aaron had decorated the dining room, I got some great presents from them and my Nan, with the promise of more at my Dad's. My Mum had also organised a Zoom party, and it was fun to see my family friends on video. She had also asked her friend Ange to make my most favourite cake Victoria Sponge for my birthday cake.  We then had a BBQ tea outside on the furniture that I had built with Aaron. It was really yummy as Mum had made homemade burgers and lots of salad.  It was a really weird

Yesterday me and the best wood working man in the whole of the world built a table, chairs and sofa for outside. It was very confusing first of all, as we needed to get some tools to attack this thing with. In the box we got 4 allan keys, but we decided to get Aaron's drill driver as it would make things easier.  First we unboxed all the components out of the box and we layed them on the floor.We decided to put the table together first, we got the table top and sides but before we started to put it together we had a brew. While we had our cuppa we nattered about all of the new tools Aaron has got for the workshop and what each of them did. It was really interesting as he has chosen tools that all work on one type of battery.  So then we got back to work and put the table together, we then did the chairs and the sofa. It was pretty easy to do with the drill driver as it made tightening the screws really easy. Once we had finished we put it outside in the garden and then we put the c
