<blockquote style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
The Flame is then delivered to the Host Country, where it is transferred from one Torchbearer to another, spreading the message of peace, unity and friendship. It ends its journey as the last Torchbearer lights the cauldron at the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in the Olympic Stadium, marking the official start of the Games.</blockquote>

<span style="color: red;">For Home Learning, I would like you to research the Olympic Torches from history and design and make your own. Due in on Friday 18th May.</span></div>

Use<a data-mce-href="http://www.london2012.com/torch-relay/history/" href="http://www.london2012.com/torch-relay/history/" target="_blank"> this site</a> to research them. Design your own torch and if possible, make it as well using materials from home. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
I hope to have a parade of Olympic Torches in School on Friday 18th May, the last schoolday before the torch travels past us in Devon.</div>

Please see my earlier post about it by following <a href="http://buckfastleighprimaryschool.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/your-own-blog.html" target="_blank">this link</a>.<br />
<br />
I've set up a blog for each of you <span style="color: red;">but you don't need to use it unless you want to</span>.<br />
<br />
You will need a <span style="color: red;">password</span> which I have set up to be your <span style="color: #cc0000;">bugclub password</span>.<br />
<br />
Remember that all posts and comments will be reviewed by me. <br />
<br />
If I can't understand it, then I won't publish it!<br />
<br />
Take care when writing as your class mates will be commenting on your blog posts.<br />
<br />
YOU CAN WRITE ABOUT WHATEVER INTERESTS YOU, but if you want an audience, make it interesting...stories, football match reports, 42 mile bike rides, instructions on how to take care of new puppies, how to knit socks...whatever interests you!<br />
<br />
I also get to see who has been commenting and I'll be giving out lots of marbles in class for thoughtful comments.<br />
<br />

<br />
I have started a class blog using Kidblog. I like this way of blogging because:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>it lets me check your work before it is posted</li>
<li>it lets me start off with no-one else being able to see your blog while you get started, then other members of class can see your posts and comment. <a href="http://kidblog.org/about.php" target="_blank">See here</a> for more details, parents</li>
<li>we can access it at school and so you can comment from within class. <b>This would allow you to use it as an independent reading activity.</b></li>
</ul>
Have a look <a href="http://kidblog.org/Sycamore3/" target="_blank">here</a> to see what it is like.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Leave a comment on this blog if you want me to set you up with a blog.</span><br />
<br />
You must be willing to have a go at writing about what interests you AND be prepared for other people in class to read your writing and leave comments about it.<br />

<br />
We've been learning how to use expanded noun phrases and adjectives to write descriptively. we've also been learning to write speech.<br />
<br />
We will be writing our own version of Leon's journey from the moment he enters the place between.<br />
<br />
<b><u> This week's home learning</u></b> is to create a picture of the "Place Between".
A copy of one of the pages from the book is shown <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW4A-z-pYpnxGjouDdBzrqxa3gxo1dk-Uf1-RgaEjuq7k0tSBC3kpkBXF16urXFDFfUCePiX7zXosqqwvN7iulXuOcqG050k3dkXew9oVCF7jjmcTmwcQLd39h0jyG8EY7BiLeAYpSnAI/s400/DSC_7922_carpet.jpg">here</a>. Please use A3 or A4 to draw, paint, collage, or use different media to create a picture of the world Leon visits.<br />
<br />
Please hand in your home learning by 29th March. Make sure that your artwork is named on the back, but <span style="color: red;">please don't stick into your home learning books</span>.<br />
<br />
As you can see from <a href="http://www.thebuildingsitetheatre.co.uk/" target="_blank">this link</a>, a theatre production of the book is being planned.

Look <a href="http://www.voanews.com/learningenglish/home/a-23-2007-11-20-voa1-83131587.html" target="_blank">here</a> to find out.<br />
<br />
Today we were being systematic when we recorded what happened when we put hot water in a container in our classroom.<br />
<br />
There was some fantastic science going on, great predicting, amazing recording and phenomenal cooperation!<br />
<br />
...but why do hot things cool down to room temperature?<br />
<br />

Your <b><u>home learning</u></b> is to carefully draw as many shapes as you can which have an area of 16 squared centimetres. Label their width and their length.<br />
<br />
Please:<br />
use squared paper and a sharp pencil, <a href="http://www.mathsphere.co.uk/resources/documents/blue1cmsq.pdf" target="_blank">use this link if you need more squared paper</a><br />
make sure your lines are straight by using a ruler.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Extension 1: Red, orange, yellow and green maths groups should try to do this</b></u><br />
Which shape has the biggest perimeter?<br />
Which shape has the smallest perimeter?<br />
<br />
<u><b>Extension 2: Red and orange maths groups should try to do this</b></u><br />
Investigate with shapes with an area of 20 squared centimetres.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://firstfleet.uow.edu.au/search.html" target="_blank">Here</a> is a link to a site which contains details of the convicts who were transported onboard the first fleet of ships to Australia which carried prisoners or convicts.<br />
<br />
These facts have been put into a database so that we can easily search them. They are not primary records - records which were made at the time, but are based on secondary sources - these were made after reading primary sources. <br />
<br />
Primary sources are sometimes very difficult to read - see this one scanned <a href="http://firstfleet.uow.edu.au/pics/handwrite.gif" target="_blank">here</a>. Handwriting was sometimes very different to our handwriting now.<br />
<br />
The<span style="font-size: large;"> youngest convict</span> was John Hudson. How old was he when he was transported?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What age was he</span> when he was charged with his crimes?<br />
<br />
What was his <span style="font-size: large;">occupation</span> when he was arrested?<br />
<br />
How many 14 year old convicts were there in the First Fleet?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are interested in finding out why convicts were sent all the way to Australia, then look<a href="http://www.englisch.schule.de/perthcon.htm" target="_blank"> here</a>.</span><br />

<br />
We're now going to use our skills of using information books and websites as well as our scientific skills of grouping animals (using keys) to make our own animal keys and food chain and food webs.<br />
<br />
Remember that when you use these websites, you need to skim and scan...skim over the page for what it is about and scan for particular words you are looking for.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Keys</u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/science/living_things/variation/read3.shtml" target="_blank">BBC Revisewise keys</a></span><br />

Set on Friday 3rd February, due in on Wednesday 15th February<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Dear Parents and Children,
Brilliant home learning last time!</span></div>
Well done for all of the effort you put into it. 29 out of 33 children handed it in on time – a record!<br />
<br />
For home learning I would like you to write a poem which:<br />
• Has Well-chosen words<br />
• Includes descriptive writing – try to use adjectives, adverbs, similes and Metaphors if you can
• carefully edited text with as few spelling mistakes ad possible<br />
• is handwritten.<br />
<br />
Use this checklist as you plan your writing, so that you can meet the objectives...then start getting creative!<br />
<br />
You might want to write about an Australian theme, a cold weather poem, a poem about a day in your life, a poem about you’re a journey, a poem about a member of your family.
<br />
<br />
Here's a slideshow which might help you with similes and metaphors:<br />
