The Thaumatrope
The Thaumatrope was one of the earliest and the simplest toy made in the Victorian times. The Victorians were really fascinated with the Thaumatrope because it had pictures that move. Victorian children were fascinated in toys with pictures that moved. The Thaumatrope is just a stick with a disc and a picture on either side. To use the Thaumatrope you just need to rub your hands on the stick and when you look threw the other side of the Thaumatrope you will see the pictures move.

18 December 06 - 08:04What I've learned about the Victorians
So far in our Victorians topic we have learned about the different jobs that poor victorian children had to do such as a chimney sweeper, miller, miner,being a servant for rich people and the street seller. Chimney sweepers had to be children because adults couldn't go down the hole of the chimney. The miller is where they would sew with big machines,adults couldn't get under the machines so the children who worked in the mills had to go under the machines and clean them when they were still on. Lots of children got killed in the mills. Girl millers had to wair brown,baggy and torn dresses. Boy millers had to wair a baggy top with baggy trousers. Both girls and boy millers were not aloud to wair shoes. Being a miller was the most dangerous job of all. Miners had to bring cole from the mines. Lots of people caught diseases from the mines. Being a servant of a rich person would have to be the best job that victorian children had to do, because if you were a servant in a big house and the rich family were kind you just might get a bed to sleep in and a shelter. Servants had to work in the kitchen making dinner, changing the sheets off of the beds and cleaning the house. Street sellers had to go about the streets selling anything they could find. The other thing I have learned is about different objects that have changed through the years such as the camera, wringer, oil and gas lamp,the floor beater and the teapot. The wringer is a handle that you need to turn so that the two cylinders turn round and take the water out of the bit of clothing that is in between the two cylinders. The wringer has changed into the tumble dryer.Victorians used the floor beaters to whip the dust out of the floor. The floor beater has changed into the hoover.

16 December 06 - 19:58Amy's reindeer poem
Rosey red cheeries on a hollie bush
Everybody is outside playing in the snow
Icicles hanging from lamposts
Naughty children don't get any presents
Decorations in every house
Everybody opening presents on Christmas day
Everyone playing with their new toys
Robins singing merrilly on a frosty tree branch

16 December 06 - 19:43My performance awards
Last Friday it was my performance awards at dancing. The performance awards was split into two parts, the first half was the set dance, pairs dance and the solo dance. At the pairs dance me and my partner had forgotten what to do so we just made it up but good the dudge hadn't yet chosen the winners of the pairs dance, because if the dudge has not yet chosen the winners we need to do the dance again untill the dudge had chosen the winners. Then at the second half it was hip-hop, cheerleeding and prize giving. My best dance in the second half was my hip-hop dance to Shakira's song called hip don't lie. AT the prize giving the winners of all the dances got a medal. I won two, one for coming in third at the set dance and one for the cheerleeding.

Sparkling ice on the lake
Never going outside without hat and scarf
Over the rooftops santa goes
White snow on the ground

Neat and tidy houses for santa to come

08 December 06 - 13:40Amy name art
Today we went in the computer room. We had to use word to find a font to use to write our name to make a pattern. It was really tricky to do it properly. We had to colour in the letters different colours so it wouldn't look the same. Although it was tricky it was really fun.

On Monday two people came called Suzanne and Sandy came to the school to teach p6S/J, P6M, and some P5 some songs. Some of the songs we already knew like Build Up, Special kind of heroes and I'm the only I, but some of the songs had sign language. After playtime we had a concert. We had to teach some of the songs and actions that the younger ones didn't yet know because they were not at the rehersals.
