Title: Roald Dahls Revolting Rhymes
Author: Roald Dahl
Illustrator: Quentin Blake
What Made Me Read It: I love Roald Dahl’s books, they’re always amazingly funny. So when I saw this book I decided to give it a go.
What It Is About: This book has all your favorite fairytales in it. Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs. Each story is presented as a very long and funny rhyme. Here is a small extract from Goldilocks and the Three Bears:

“This famous wicked little tale
Should never have been put on sale.
It is a mystery to me
Why loving parents cannot see
That this is actually a book
About a brazen little crook.”
Had the chance I wouldn’t fail
To clap young Goldilocks in jail.
Now imagine how you’d feel
If you had cooked a lovely meal,
Delicious porridge, steaming hot,
Fresh coffee in the coffee-pot,
With maybe toast and marmalade,
The table beautifully laid,
One place for you and one for dad,
Another for your little lad.
Then dad cries, ‘Golly-gosh! Gee-whizz!
‘Oh cripes! How hot this porridge is!’’

To find out what happens next, read Roald Dahls Revolting Rhymes!

Division Bookwork by Lucy

W.A.L.T understand division. Division is in the family of facts, and can also be made into multiplication,

E.G.... 6÷7 in the same as 7x_=6.

 This is the way I think that division is a-lot easier to do.

Animation by Lucy

 Today we learnt how to do Animation, I, for one Really enjoyed it, and this is how we did it...

• Go to Explore and find a garden background,
• Find a blue cartoon butterfly on Explore,
• Put the butterfly on one side of the slide,
• Duplicate the slide by tapping the slide that your on with two fingers, move the blue butterfly forward a really small bit, do this repeatedly,
• Add another character from Explore on slide 1 and Ctrl+C it,
• Go to slide 2 and press Ctrl+V, move your other character a small bit, 
• Do this repeatedly.

Maybe you could have a go sometime!😊😀

Animation by Atawhai

W.A.L.T make animation on slides.

• We typed in the picture we wanted and put png on the end so the background was not see - able. 
• We had to move it slowly other wise it looked kind of bad.
• We also had to duplicate the slides.        I really enjoyed this. It might take up some time but the results at the end are great!  THANKS to Mrs Minehan.

Animation by Seth

WALT make animations on a slide. First use PNG to get a transparent background.be patient. Embed it onto our blog change the html to make it move on our blog. This was easy for me. You should give it a try some time. This may be hard for you but it's a lot of fun.

The Incredible Jumping Spider Report by Emma

 Jumping spiders are a living insect. They are invertebrates, which means that they have no backbone. Jumping spiders are solitary witch means that they don’t work together. They can live for three whole years. There are many different types of jumping spiders all over the world.

 Habitat
Jumping spiders live in a web made out of their shiny silk but they don’t catch their food there. Some even live in houses in cracks or under old floor boards. You have to be careful where you step because if you have wooden tiles they blend in very well.

 Special features
 Jumping Spiders make their houses with their own silk. They are not venomous. They are great dancers but all they do is wave their arms in the air. They hunt their prey on their fuzzy little feet. Their eyesight is very good because they have six eyes on their head they can see in every direction. They’re great at disguising when a predator is near.

 Food and Sleep
The jumping spider eats one main thing which is other insects. The way they do it is, they pounce on their prey from behind then use their strong jaws to eat it.

 Distance and Speed
The jumping spider is very speedy because it can jump about 10cm each jump, which is a lot for a little spider. If you try to catch one you have a high chance of it escaping your hand. 

Predators
Birds are one of the predators to the jumping spider because they try and eat them. They protect themselves by mimicking another animal that is a predator of their predator.

 The importance of jumping spiders
Jumping spiders are very important because they pounce on other annoying insects and eat them. Without them we would have a lot of bad insects. Unfortunately they eat good ones too.

 As you can see the Jumping spider is an amazing little insect.
