Welcome to Mostafa, our first member! SP


 * Thursday 19th March**

Well done to all those who did their Student Conference yesterday! Good luck to those doing theirs tomorrow. Have a nice long weekend and be on the look out for any ecosystems and food chains as you are out and about this weekend! :) Sarah Pickles

Hello! I am a member now! Nanako

Me too! Finally! Mostafa

hi! I'm a member now **Alessandra!!!**

Welcome Alessandra and Emmanuel! Well done Alessandra, Mostafa and Nanako for excellent conferences today! How did you feel they went? SP I was very excited and I felt the conference went excellent!!! Alessandra

I agree with Alessandra thats it exciting but the problem was that for example Maxine wanted to go to the poems and I was about to go there and she got there first so I didnt know what to do with my parents so i was about to go to the real spelling board but Julia already there and I shared everything else so it was confusing for me but its actually excellent. Mostafa

My parents are saying that they enjoyed the confrence and also they are saying **thanx to you Miss. Pickles.** Mostafa

I agree with Mostafa that it was exciting and also that it was sometimes hard to show my parents some things because Erin was usually there first but overall, I think it was excellent. Nanako

I'm glad you all enjoyed it. Sorry that there were so many 'trafiic jams' and that you all ended up waiting to show things. We will have to think about how we can change that for next time! Hope you are having a nice weekend. I saw Alessandra at the bazaar, did the rest of you go? I had a great time but spent all my money on beads! Welcome to **India** who has now joined us too. SP

Hi guys! I just joined. Anyway when i was in my conference i was pretty nervous( i bet Ms Pickles could tell) but it was also kind of fun. My parents said they were soooooooo proud of me so they are either buying me 2 gifts or giving me money! YAY!!!!!!! India

Hello! I went to the bazaar with my friend from japanese school since I came right after it and because her mother was selling some things too. But my friend and I thought that it was pretty boring because there wasn't much entertainment. I also met many more people at the bazaar like Angelina and India. My mom also told me she met Ms. Pickles at school. Nanako

Me too! I also went to the bazaar! It was really fun, i met Jennifer, Angelina, Natalie, Nanako and Ilke. I was there with ,my friend Reina, Reina's brother and my brother. I went to the sponge throwing and I put my face in the face-hole and Reina threw 3 wet sponges at me! India

I coudnt go to the bazaar because there was lots of traffic and there wasnt a place to park and my car had a problem so my mom said that we go home because the problem in the car is that the brakes didnt work but it got fixed today Monday 23. **Mostafa

Well done Mostafa, Alessandra, Nanako and India for your posts! SP**

Hello everyone!! I joined! My dad and I wanted to go to the bazaar but, you know....*snore*.I'm going to have my conference and I'm a little anxious because I don't know exactly what to say.

Hope you are enjoying our read aloud 'Holes'. What do you think will happen next? Find out tomorrow. Don't forget your homework is due this Friday and Literature Circles are tomorrow! If you've finished those..... have a relaxing evening! Miss Pickles

hi gus you should read charolletes web its a great tale about a spider who saves a pig with her webs but its also sad charollete dies a slow and sad death and no one nows shes dead

What happened most of the page has gone!!! Mostafa

Hey guys! (And girls,) I'm a member now!!! :P Maxine

Yeah! Most of the page is gone! And my book suggestions too! Boo hoo! Nanako:(

I feel so sorry for you and the rest of the class who wrote on that half :( Maxine ):

Anyway, I recommend the book 'The Underneath' because it's a really gook book about two cats, (a boy and girl,) named Puck, and Sabine (HAHA!) Their mother and them meet a hound named Ranger who is in love with the cat at first sight. But he warns them not to go close to Gar Face, who is the owner of the hound, who also has his rifle with him at all times. Will the hound keep his love? Or meet his doom...? If you want to read it see me and I will lend it to you. :P Maxine

Hello how is everything I want to wish everyone a good test and good luck because you never know what the mysterious Ms.Pickles can put on it Emmanuel

True!!! Maxine :P

I want to recommend Point Blanc to everyone but first read stormbreaker which you can find in the class. Its all about this guy named Alex Rider and his uncle was under cover for M16 but his Uncle died so he had to take over his Uncles place so then he had to do his first mission to find the secret behind the stormbreakers Emmanuel

Emmanuel I wanted to tell you that I watched the movie StormBreaker and it so cool I watched it on TV. Mostafa hey guys just wanted to say goodbye and i'll miss you!!! Alessandra

i also wanted to reccomend this book cookie i think Angelina will like it because its by jacqueline wilson!!! Alessandra **

= = =Look what I found: =

Welcome to all our new members! Hopefully Aydan, Sabine and Oumie will write something soon, as they have just joined. Hope you are enjoying our read aloud 'Holes'. What do you think will happen next? Find out tomorrow. Don't forget your homework is due this Friday and Literature Circles are tomorrow! If you've finished those..... have a relaxing evening! Miss Pickles
 * || **Wednesday 25th March

I think that in " Holes" Stanley will see that Zero will leave soon because it seems that he stayed there for a pretty much long time. I wonder what he did to get there. Maybe he just got there to dig holes because it said in a chapter that Zero liked digging holes. Nanako :)

I agree with Nanako. Mostafa :P

Finally i finished my homework. Mostafa

Hi!!!!!!! I'm finnaly a member now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jennifer

It is really cool!! Jennifer

my report is 5 pages long now!!!!Jennifer

Wow! Maxine :p

Friday 27th March

It was a great week at school. This was the best homework the class has ever submitted! Well done!!! Fabulous work. If you typed up your reports in habitats or animals, don't forget to email them to me at spickles@lincoln.edu.gh so we can share them during our Writers' Workshop time. Also, next week, we will have a test on geometry! We will have the test on Wednesday. it will be on the properties of polygons, angles, types of triangles, lines, rays and line segments. If you are not sure on any of these have a read of the SRB online over the weekend.

Have a great weekend! Only 5 school days till the Easter holiday! :) SP

Hi guys!!What are you doing this weekend?? Jennifer

Whatever it is, have fun!!!!Jennifer

The test sounds scary!! Jennifer Have any of you read the book White Giraffe and the next book in that series?? If you havent, read it NOW!!1 I am still reading it but i guarantee, you won't be bored!!! Jennifer

I need to read 'White Giraffe', Leah gave it to me ages ago. Thanks for the reminder! Don't worry about the test! SP

Hi miss pickles!!! Jennifer i didnt see you type Jennifer for some reason the writing keeps turning black and white!!!!! Jennifer

Im excited for the test. Mostafa

Hi guys. What do you think about the test? Jennifer

I wonder what the experiment miss. Pickles is talking about? Jennifer

Me too. Mostafa

Maybe its like we're going to raise or see how animals live! Nanako:I

I'm preparing for the test next week! how about you? Nanako:)

All of you have to read the book, " Igraine the Brave"! It sounds like a boyish book but belive me, I've read it and its not a boyish book. Of course, that doesn't mean its not for boys, they can read it too. Nanako (*.*)

I think you got to read Judy Blume Superfudge because it is interesting and with really funny parts. Mostafa

I think people that are not in my literature circles group should definitely read Bloomablity! It is sooooo interesting and kinda sad but it's still good! India :D!!!!!

I have Igraine the brave but i haven't read it yet!!! Jennifer

I got it for christmas. Jennifer

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll try them! India, I think it was a good idea suggesting Bloomability to the others! Nanako(*.*)

I'm finally in 4th grade in japanese school! The grade depends on the month you were born. Since I was born in July, I'm 1 year behind than the normal school. And that means no more japanese school for 2 whole weeks! Hooray! Nanako:D!!!!!!!!

i also have Igraine the brave and i haven't read it to. Alessandra**

I finally joined .oumie

Miss Pickles my mum has started to read Inkheart!!!! India *_* !

Great to read all your book recommendations. I will have to try Igraine the Brave. Isn't that by Cornelia Funke too? Great that India's mum is reading Inkheart. I recommended it to Mr Mike at school and he has just finished it and he really enjoyed it too. Congratulations on your progress with your Japanese Nanako! SUGOI !! I still haven't read Bloomabilty yet, can you believe that? I will try and read it this week. Who of you has read all 3 books in

the Inkheart trilogy? SP :)  Your mum is reading inkheart? did you already read it ? oumie

Yes Ms.Pickles Igraine the Brave is also by Cornelia Funke. I have read the whole Inkheart triology and it is great! And thank you for the congratulations Ms.Pickles! Nanako {*_*}

Monday 30th March

Started reading Bloomability last night. I love it. Read half the book and stayed up too late reading! Here's to a great week! :) SP

Here are some of the words you will need to understand for the test on Wednesday:

congruent concentric concave convex parallelogram polygon quadrangle obtuse acute right scalene isosceles triangles equiangular equilateral quadrilateral right angle vertex vertices lines segments rays endpoint irregular regular

Don't forget to go on the online student reference book if you need to refresh your memory!

[[ [|https://everydaymathonline.com/]| [|https://everydaymathonline.com/]]]

Look at pages 90 - 100. The test will take place on Wednesday. If you want to play some geometry shape games online go to [[[|http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/maths/index.html]| [|http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/maths/index.html]]] Good Luck!! SP :)

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I just started writing when Sabine started writing! Anyway, I got some book recamendations (where's the spell checker?).1) Marshmallow Magic and the Wild Rose Rouge.It's about a girl nicknamed Lemmie and she has this magic called 'marshmallow magic'.She allso has a 'sister' named Rose.But she calls her Rose Rouge.I would have liked to put a site about it but I can't and anyway it doesn't seem like a good idea.2)Spy Cat, it's in the library.The tittle tells it all.I wonder what the shrimp will look like when they hatch. What is Igrain the brave and Bloomabillity about? I also started reading InkDeath (da da daaaaaaaa) and, like all the Inkheart books, it starts just a little bit boring to me (in my opinoin) Hope everyone had a good weekend PS, If you want to know more about the books I recamended, just ask me. If you are interested ( :o oooo!) in Marshmallow Magic and want to ask me where to find it, just note that all I will be able to answer is 'uhhhhhhh...'. **Xoai**

I have got the hang of the wiki now!!!! sabine

Hey xoai!!!! sabine

I have a great website to go on for the math test it really helps!!!!! www.mathsisfun.com sabine <span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Sabine I went on it ."I love it" thanks for the help and website.Xoai why don't you try reading "The secert Identity of devon something" and also you Sabine it's your kind of books and maybe Alessandra.Sabine you forgot to spell your name Sabina.

Who are you ??? You didnt write your name!!! Mostafa

Hello! Xoai, I see that you want to know about Igraine the brave. Well, its about agirl called Igraine who lives in a castle called Pimpernel castle. She has a brother and her parents and the only thing she wants is an adventure. But when her birthday arrives, she finds one. When she goes on her adventure, she encounters many things like a knight ( one with a spiky head ) a giant a three headed dragon and lots of magic. If yo want to find out more, then read it! It isn't in the library so you should ask me since I have the book. I will usually say yes unless I have agood reason. Nanako {*_*}

=<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);">Detective Pickles has been on the case!!! I have managed to find some of the missing text. Let me know if your posting is still missing and I should be able to track it down through the history. I think it occurred, as some many of you 'detectivettes' realised, that too many people were editing the page at the same time! Never fear. Don't let that discourage you from editing. We should always be able to track down missing posts. :) Detective Pickles = =<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);">OK miss.Pickles, I will let you know!!!! sabine = =Thanx sabine.

 * Ms.Pickles! I somehow can't view the rest of the page from when Angelina first wrote! What should I do to fix it? Nanako**

Hello Miss.Pickles i am having lots of fun this easter i went to tema, and mamami ,and i got to see the monkeys ,and the guine pigs at wild gecko, and i went to the book shop to buy creative art books in happy minds,and i got to see the new house my dad is building.Angelina

Miss.Pickles are you going to erase some of the writing this page is getting to long!!Angelina Yes, I agree with you Angelina, but maybe we can just make a new page by clicking on new page on the actions box on the top of the page. Also, now I can't even read things that Angelina first wrote. I can only see from where Mostafa wrote ( the part where says " Yah me too").__ I think maybe someone deleted some of it. Was that you Ms.Pickles ( Since it says in the agreements that only you can delete things)? Nanako

hi nanako did you notice that the colur changing,also am i supose to click save draft or save? Well wich evr one it is i am clicking save .Angelina.

Hello! Yes, I did notice and you're supposed to click on save ok? Also, I don't want to be mean or anything but who are you? You didn't write your name! Oh, and one more thing.I noticed that the signs on the editor bar kinda changed. Did someone change it? Nanako

Miss.Pickles on the homework we had to create a terraruim and are we suppose to write down something like write our observation. Angelina.

Yes you are supposed to write about any observations and what you included in your terrarrium. I have created a new page so click here to go to it. Miss Pickles
