Manny The Monkey

 Hey Bloggies!

For literacy in the past couple of weeks, we have been writing children's books. we took inspiration from other writers like Lynley dodd and dr Seuss to come up with our own storyline and characters. after we came up with our idea, we started to form a script for the story. m story was about a character called many the monkey who gets stuck up a tree with his friends and they have to figure out how to get down safely.

Here's my story:

This is manny the monkey

Manny lives deep in the Amazon rainforest with his mum in a little tree hut.

Manny runs into the middle of the trees that he plays in and his friends are waiting for him there.

They played around in the low trees for a bit.

Manny decided he wanted to try something new and dangerous, so he climbs the tall tree.

“How are you going to get down?” asked his friends “I don’t know!” answered manny “Look out!”

“RAWRRRRRR” yells the gorilla. “AHHHHHHH” yells gemma, the first one of mannys many friends

as she scurries up the tree.

“HISSSSSSSSSS” says the snake. “AHHHHHHH” screams Greg, another one of mannys many

friends as he sprints up the tree, joining the other two.

“GRRRRRRRRR” growls the dog. “AHHHHHHHHH” yell millie and George, who are the last of

mannys many friends, as they scamper up the tree together. 

“Oh no!” said manny. “How are we going to get down from this tall tree?”

“How about we  make a monkey chain and climb down the tree together” said gemma

“Great idea!” said manny and they started to look for a strong branch to hang off

“I found a strong branch!” yelled George

“Let’s start our chain now” said millie

“Greg should go first” decided manny. “He’s the strongest monkey here!”

“Great idea manny” said gemma as Greg started to hang from the branch.

“I’ll go next!” yelled gemma. “Then me!” squeaked George “Me next!” said milie excitedly. “I’ll go at

the end” laughed manny as he climbed over to the end of the chain.

“Let’s swing from this branch to the next tree so we can get down safely” said Greg. “Great idea!”

said the rest of them at the same time.

“3, 2, 1 GO!” they yelled together and swung to the tree.

“now we can easily drop down” said millie

They all dropped down from the tree together.

“We did it!” yelled manny.

“Goodbye!” they all said to each other as they started to run back home

I hope you enjoyed my story.

See ya later!

The Coin Drop Experiment

 Hey Bloggies!

For maths this week, my group was doing probability and today we did the coin drop game in pairs. what we did is we dropped a coin on a piece of paper 100 ties and had a busy tally how many times it hit the line and how many times it landed in a square. I did it with Zara and these were our scores:



As you can see, Zara got 10 out of 100 in the squares and 90 out of 100 on the lines and I got 9 out of 100 in the squares and 91 out of 100 on the lines. neither of us got too many in the squares but it was quite hard to do so I'm not surprised.

See ya later!
