Dribbling Drew

Our class has been reading 'The Worlds Worst Children' for our serial story. It is a story by David Walliams. I have made a Google Drawing of Dribbling Drew, which is one of the chapters that we have read.

Here it is:

Dribbling Drew is at the museum and he has flooded the whole place! He found a comfortable place on top of a dodo exhibit although he can sleep anywhere. If Drew could, he would sleep all day, all night, twenty four hours a day and seven days a week! His teacher gave the class a worksheet so that the class could write down all of the exhibits that they came across, and the person who wrote down the most exhibits wins. Drew won’t be that person because he hasn’t even wrote down one exhibit!    

Book week - Reading in unusual places

This week at our school is Book Week. We have been busy reading to ourselves, our peers and younger children from our school, dressing up as our favourite book character and completing a quiz about books. Our challenge at home was to take a photo of us reading in the most unusual place. Here is my two photos where I am reading "Don't Look Now", by Paul Jennings.

Wearable arts poem

Wearable Arts...being on stage!

I heard spectators of all ages clapping and cheering as I faced the lit up catwalk.      

I heard people in the massive audience ooh and ahh as I stepped out onto the lengthy catwalk.    

I saw wide eyes on the audience’s faces, brightened by the beautiful fairy lights.  

I felt a tingle down my spine as soon as I started to do my animal dance.

I felt like a professional dancer, dancing for the whole world to see.  

I wondered if my group would do absolutely everything right, including me.   

I wondered what my answers to all of my questions would be, like will I fall down off the stage, what if I bump Eden and she bumps Skye, what if I forget the entire dance?

Taking care of your pet dragon

In the last few weeks our class has been writing instructions for doing things. The instructions that we did this week and last week was called "Taking care of your pet dragon".

Here is my instructions for taking care of my pet dragon, Monkey.

How to care for your pet dragon.

Feeding your dragon:

Put a glass bowl onto a bar stool and put newspaper inside of it. Get 1 teaspoon of sugar and pour it into the bowl. Pour ½ a box of “Little Dragon Charms” into the bowl. Collect Monkey. Now ask Monkey if it wants water or fire for her drink. If it wants fire, sit Monkey in a high chair to drink and if it wants water, go outside and sit her in a tree to drink. If Monkey wants water, you will just have to bring her food up the tree for it. Say the word “eat” and Monkey will eat her food. Make sure that Monkey doesn't come down from her high chair or the tree otherwise she will lose her appetite.

Playing with your dragon: Fetch

Bring Monkey to the park and bring its favourite toy (which is her teddy bear) with you. When you get to the park tell Monkey that when you throw the toy, she has to run and get it and bring it back to you. Make sure you ask Monkey to repeat what you said and if she wasn't listening tell Monkey again and Monkey will listen this time.       Throw the toy as many times as you can until Monkey gets tired. Go back home.

Taking your dragon to the shops

Collect Monkey and put her in the car. Make sure that you bring a rope with you. Put Monkey in a car seat with a seatbelt on. Drive to whatever shop you need to go to. When you get to the shops, unbuckle your seatbelt and get out of the car. Open the door for Monkey and unbuckle Monkey’s seatbelt. Take Monkey out of the car. Tie a rope around Monkey’s neck and hold the other end of the rope. Walk Monkey into the shops and hold the end of the rope the whole time you are shopping. Once you have done your shopping, go to the car and do the same as step 2. Drive home. Do the same as steps 4, 5 and 6 when you are at home this time.

Training your dragon how to come to you

Collect Monkey and carry her outside. Tell Monkey that when you say “Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo” she has to come to you. If your dragon wasn't listening, repeat what you said. Run 3 metres across the ground so that you and Monkey are apart from each other. Now say “Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo” to Monkey and Monkey should come to you. If Monkey doesn't come to you then you have to go back to Monkey and take his claw and say “Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo” and walk her three meters across the ground. Repeat step 3. Walk back into the house if you wish, or you can stay outside if you prefer.

Grooming your dragon:

Collect 1 sponge, 1 bottle of coke, a pair of scissors, a 1 metre long rope, one 28 inch long piece of wood, 1 hammer, 1 bucket of water and a tarpaulin and bring them outside on some grass. Flatten your tarpaulin on the ground and put the bucket next to it. Fill up the bucket halfway with water. Pour the whole bottle of coke into the bucket that has the water in it. Set up the sponge and scissors next to the bucket and on top of the tarpaulin. Grab the hammer and hammer the 28 inch long piece of wood into the ground. Tie the rope around the piece of wood in a tight knot (any knot will do).   Collect Monkey from wherever she is and bringher onto the tarpaulin. Tie the rope around your dragon’s claw in a knot. Soak the sponge in the bucket for ½ a minute. Pull the sponge out of the bucket with your hand. Massage the sponge on Monkey’s scales all over her body until Monkey is all soapy. Hose Monkey down with a hose until all of the coke is off. Untie the rope from you dragon's neck.   Tell Monkey to fly around the garden until you tell her to come down. When Monkey comes down, tie the rope back on Monkey’s neck. Cut Monkey’s claws by using the scissors. Repeat step 14.

Putting your dragon to bed:

Lights out for my dragon is 7:00 in the weekdays and 7:30 in the weekends.    Collect Monkey from wherever she is and take her by the claw and walk her to her bedroom. Lift Monkey onto her bed and cover her with her blankets. Go into the kitchen to get a teaspoon of sugar and come back into Monkey’s room. Give the teaspoon to Monkey and tell her to eat the teaspoon of sugar. It doesn't matter if Monkey eats the teaspoon as well. Sing her favourite lullaby to her and give her teddy bear to her. Make sure that you put her to bed at the right time every night because you certainly don’t want a cranky dragon! (She might go crazy other wise!)

Exercising your dragon:

Collect Monkey from wherever she is and tie a rope around her neck. Walk to the park and untie the rope from Monkey’s neck. Let Monkey fly around the park 6 or 7 times and make sure to tell her to come down when you want to leave. Once she is down tie the rope back around Monkey’s neck. Walk home and go inside or stay outside if you prefer.

 I hope that you liked my instructions for looking after my pet dragon, Monkey.

Show Me

At maths time today we used an app called Show Me. My maths buddy Zoe and I worked out what 49x3 was and then we made a video on Show Me.

Here is Zoe and my Show Me video working out two ways to find out what 49x3 is.






I hope you learnt something today in our video!😊
