Refracting Light

Today Charizard found starting work a little stressful but settled down nicely into his Time4Learning lesson. He did multiplication factors and in order to do that learnt about long multiplication. Jigglepuff found some of the questions difficult too! After he had finished that lesson we had a look together at some of the science topic about Space and the Universe, where we learnt about different galaxy shapes (and now we know that the Milky Way is a spiral, they played a trick on us by showing us a photo that looked as though it was irregular though!) Charizard played Ko's Journey, where he did the refracting light crystal puzzles with very little help (like learning to use a simple protractor, and learning about angles). We needed to learn how to add different fractions in order to work out the weight we were carrying, which was quite tough. But we managed it, and then after lunch we read the second section of The Children of Greene Knowe. We discussed the simile where the bird is like an arrow and agreed that it was a good simile because it reminded us of the speed of a peregrine falcon, the fastest land animal. What good general knowledge Charizard has!

Jigglepuff's favourite bit of the day was reading aloud.
