Maths Affirmation
The affirmation I have looked at is to learn my 6,7 and 8 times tables. I have clicked on the here internet link and played the timestables game. I played baseball, spaceships and the maths magician game which were cool. I then did a test and I got 10 out of 10 wow i'm pleased.
Making my model
I enjoyed making my model because it was fantastic and fun to see everybody enjoying theirselves. I made it from cardboard and then I painted it black and yellow. It was good to be able to use my imagination and then put my thoughts into practice.
If I were to do a model again I would change the length and I would draw a plan before I do it so I would have a guide to follow.

Zoo joke
My friend Dave got a job at the zoo. He had a conversation with the boss and the boss said you might have to look in the red book if you want to know how much each anaimal costs if they die. Dave did not look in the book because he knew he wasn't going to let any animals die.
He was sweeping near the finch cage and he knocked it and a finch came down. Then he went to the red book and looked in it to see how much a finch would cost and it cost £1000. Dave threw the finch into the lion cage and the lion ate it up. He was sweeping in the chimps cage and two chimps were playing on the tyres and the chain snapped and the chimps died. Dave went to the red book again to see how much the chimps would cost and it was £5000. The chimps were then thrown into the lion's cage and a lion ate them up.
Next, Dave was cutting the grass on a ride on lawn mower which he crashed into a tree. A bee's nest fell down from the tree into the lawn mower's blade and chopped them all up. Dave, went to the red book to see how much the bees would cost and they cost £10 each. The total cost was one million pounds. The bees were thrown into the lion's cage by Dave and the lion ate them all up.
The next day, a new lion came to the zoo and asked the other lion how is the food? The other lion said I had yesterday, finch, chimps and mushy bees!
