A challenge

How many times can you fold a piece of paper in half?

We were surprised that when you fold different sizes of paper in half, you get almost the same number of folds before you can’t fold it any more. We used A4 paper, newspaper magazine, a piece of newspaper, and a 640 x 510mm paper in our trial.

10 Things that make me happy

  • The ten things that makes me happy are:

Number 10 – ‘Singing’.   I love to sing.  I don’t mind what songs I sing and I like to make up my own songs.

Number 9 – ‘Friends’.  My friends are always there for me.  My friends always make me laugh and smile.

Number 8 – ‘Family’.  I always go on holidays and go camping with my family.  We decorate our house for Christmas both inside and out.  We go crazy with the decorations.

Number 7 – ‘Drawing’.  I draw all different things like people, animals and whatever else is in my head.

Number 6 – ‘You Tube’.  I like to look at Minecraft, music and Undertale on youtube but I really want to be a you tuber.  I want to make videos and see the world and make videos of what I see to show people.

Number 5 – ‘School’.  I love to learn.  I love the teachers and my friends and I love to do lots of different activities.

Number 4 – ‘Making craft’.  I enjoy painting, drawing, origami, clay, printmaking and lots of other craft activities.

Number 3 – ‘Shopping’.  I love to shop and look around. I love to match outfits like matching shoes with dresses or shirts with jackets.

Number 2 – ‘Grandparents’.  I enjoy visiting my Nana and my poppy.  I help them clean their car.  My Nana spoils me a lot by giving me lots of ice cream.  My favourite is vanilla but I also like rainbow ice cream with m&ms.

Number 1 – ‘Mysteries’.  I love to research mysteries on the computer like old times and see what was in the world in the past and in the present. I know there are mysteries in the world now.

My Oscar fish

Hello Mrs McKay,

There are three different types of Oscars. There is red, an Albino Oscar which comes in white and a Tiger Oscar which comes in black but it also gets orange or yellow on it when it gets older. The Red Oscars grow the biggest.  The Tiger Oscar grows the second biggest and the Albino Oscar grows the least.  I have got all the Oscars.  I have four Oscars but the red one is my favourite.
