Piratical party.

Bones is the ship of Captain Pea Brain a very very fierce ship indeed. A ship with courage and a lot of brains.

The dog from Bones has lost his bone. The dog is called Paws.

Black Beard is jumping into the sea to get the bones. He holds his breath very tight, so he doesn't drown.

This is Blackbeard giving paws his bone.

Crusher, an enemy ship of Bones is about to attack. Will Bones win or will Crusher win ........?

This is Super Sally she is firing cannons on the Crusher.

Bones and Crusher are fighting.

Yay we won! We won. Crusher celebrated.

Erosion experiment.

One of our topics this term has been "Water". We've looked at pollution, floods, drought, rainfall, and important scientists like Dr John Snow, Robert Koch, Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister.
This was a water experiment to show how trees help to prevent erosion. Erosion is when rain hits the ground really hard and farmland gets destroyed.

First of all, we got two trays, next we poured soil into the trays.

Then we cut some straws up and put them in one of the trays of soil. Then we put some fluff on the top to make it look like the leaves on trees

We got a plastic cup with really big holes in the bottom. We had to tape some of it up on the bottom. When we poured 500ml of water through the cup, it looked like real rain.
First we started on the tray with no straws in. The soil went all squelchy and it had mud slides. It looked like a swamp.

When we poured the water on the fluff, the fluff stopped a bit of the water getting on the soil. A few of the trees collapsed. When we took the fluff off and looked down, it looked a lot drier than the other tray.

Puppies

When puppies are born they are all white but they have pink noses.They are very small.
















You have to keep the mum with her puppies.The puppies have to be kept warm. Most puppies
when they're born are put in a box with their mum.When they come out of their mum's tummy
they need a soft surface to come out.Puppies can't bark so they make a squeaking noise.

When puppies are a bit older they don't drink their mum's milk they have to be weaned.They
need about two visits to the vet's until they are at least one.

Moulton's Flood

This happened on the 22nd of June 2007. A flood hit Moulton. It happened because the drains weren't fast enough to cope with the water. They couldn't cope because there was so much rain. It was raining so heavily.

The flood knocked down bins and flooded houses.

One girl reported that she had to shut all the doors from the Conservatory to the livingroom because you could hear the banging of the rain on the roof of the Conservatory. It was annoying because when you shut all the doors you could still hear it! The drain on my road looked like a wave. It was moving just like the sea. My cat went right under the sofa because its only one year old.

Another girl added that her dad had to take all the plants in because they were waterlogged. There was 1cm of water in the pots. My dog was really scared of the rain and the noise. She hid beside the sofa and tried to get under it.

A boy reported that the drains were blocked at his house.

A girl said "It flooded into my garage and my car was flooded, but luckily we had my daddy's friend's car."
