About

This blog is all about 5 easy knots you can do at home with a rope/string during Coronavirus/Covid-19. Also there is a bonus. Would you like to learn them? If you do then read this blog.

1. Overhand Knot

The first knot I’ll be showing you is the Overhand Knot. I’m going to have a standing end and a working end. The first step to complete this Overhand knot is to make a loop then thread the working end over the loop then under the loop then tighten.

2. Underhand Knot

This is a Underhand knot very similar to the over knot that I taught you about, which is the Overhand knot. So the first step to make a Underhand knot is to make a loop then thread the working end under the loop then over the loop after tighten.

This is an picture of the knot called the Underhand knot.

3. Figure of 8 Loop

z|So this is the third most easiest knot, which is called the Figure of 8 Loop. So the first step to make the Figure of 8 Loop is to get your working end and put it next to your standing end. Step 2 is to make a loop then thread it over then under your standing end and working end. Next thread it through the first loop you created and tighten.

4. Square Knot

So this knot is a square knot. It involves a Overhand then a Underhand. This does not involve a standing end. Lets jump right into it so step one is to make an Overhand knot but do not tighten and then create a Underhand knot and now tighten.

5. Clove Hitch

This is a Clove Hitch knot the 5th easy not you need something that you can lift above the ground, standing or something you can move about. For step 1 you need to get your working end then put it over your object then pull it. Step 2 is to put it over your rope. For step 3 you need to pull it and then put it under the left side of your cross.

A Clove Hitch wrapped round wrapping paper.

Bonus Thief Knot

This is a Thief knot not to get confused with the square knot. First step is to loop it back on it’s self. Second you need to get the other rope and thread it under then over then under then back over again. For step 3 you need to tighten them really tight

This is an image of a Thief knot on our rug.

Day 3 of Home Educating

Introduction

Schools closed so we carried on learning and then made a Company called Educ8.uk. Now we write blogs about what we do every day so this blog is all about Day 3 of home educating. We aren’t keeping any secrets so read this blog for fully truth!

Maths

In Maths, we did Multiplication the questions were tens by units for example 58×0, 17×3, 46×4, 56×1, 59×0 and 17×6. Also tens by tens for example 68×42, 12×21 and 40×66 ect. Then we x tens by hundreds here are some examples 68×118, 60×938, 80×629 and 42×188. Obviously I got them all write because I like Maths and I’m also really good at Maths.

History

In History, I watched the Battle of the Atlantic on Facebook live the Battle of Atlantic, was the longest continuous military campaign in World War II, ran from 1939 to the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, covering a major part of the Naval history of World War II. At its core was the Allied naval blockade of Germany, announced the day after the declaration of war, and Germany’s subsequent counter-blockade. The campaign peaked from mid-1940 through to the end of 1943. So that’s what we did in history from 1 to 2 o’clock. Here is one of my drawing from the Battle of the Atlantic. Just look below!

Start date: 03 Sep 1940s
End date: 08 May 1943

The front cover from a side perspective.

My Opinion on the Book

This is my opinion on the book called Bad Dad wrote by David Walliams is very good. I think you should consider buying it but the only bad thing is that it has a lot of pages. If you like books then it will be no problem for you. Also I don’t recommend it for little children because it has 422 pages. It is very long and talks about lots of different adventures. This is a little blurb, Dads come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. There are fat ones and thin ones, tall ones and short ones. There are silly ones and serious ones, loud ones and quiet ones.

This is another picture taken from another perspective.

Nightscape Book Review

About

Nightscapes real name is Harry Gallagher he lives in London and climbs buildings in London and other cities and then he wrote this blog all about what he does. He’s 22 years old. He’s an urban explorer and photographer who gained fame on both YouTube and Instagram under the name Night Scape with his explorations of places that not many others would dare to consider. Some of his top videos include “Climbing the Sidemen Tower (Arrested),” “Sneaking into New Westham Stadium” and “London Skyscraper Climb – 183M.” That was just a short brief of Harry Gallagher so now it is time to read a Nightscape book review

Nightscapes real name is Harry Gallagher. Harry Gallagher climbs buildings so he made two YouTube channels about climbing buildings called Nightscape and Dayscape. I like it because his book has so many amazing illustrations and tells you don’t let people tell you what to do and get out of your comfort zone.

This the front cover looking at another perspective.

My Opinion

I think you should read it since it is telling you about his life of climbing buildings freeruning and parkour. Also it tells you after this book don’t go and just start climbing because even if you’re 5 metres in air it will feel totally different to when your 30 metres in the air. He climbed the worlds tallest chimney and most of the skyscrapers in London and also lots in different countries cities like Santorini, Shanghai, Jakarta, and Dubai.

This is another perspective of the front cover.

Additional Information

Even better he climbs other buildings like the Sideman Tower, the Humber Bridge, the London Stadium, a bridge in Stratford, Petticoat Tower, Balfron Tower and One Canada Square.

Rating

I give this book a 5 out of 5. I hope you enjoyed reading this Nightscape book review. Don’t forget to read day 1 of home educating. Also day 2 of home educating.

Day 2 of Home Educating

Do you want to hear about day 2 of home educating through the eyes of a 10 year old? We are going to be writing a blog every day on what we have learnt. All throughout covid-19 aka coronavirus you shouldn’t worry because you need to read our blog called Coronavirus School Closure Tips

Maths

Our first subject was maths again so today we worked on percentage questions such as 60% of 80, 80% of 0, 90% of 20 and 100% of 20, which I got all of these questions right. They are grades 6 and 7. How old do you have to be in grades 6 and 7? You have to be aged 10 1/2 to 12 years old to answer the questions. I’m only 10 years old but I got them all right. There were 4 sheets with 16 questions on each and I got every single question right, which made it so I got a total of 64 marks.

Hear are some of the workings out to some of the questions.

Spelling

I got tested on some year 5 and year 6 spelling words, which I obviously got 10/10 on. Well done to me! The words that I got tested on were Yacht, Vehicle, Vegetable, Variety, Twelfth, Thorough, System, Symbol, Suggest and Sufficient. I am very good at spelling and I also like spelling because you use different methods to learn how to spell words like manufacturer and lots more words.

Reading

I read Bad Dad again today. Who do you think wrote Bad Dad? It was David Walliams, who also writes lots of other books called Bad Dad, Slime, The Ice Monster, The beast of Buckingham Palace, The Creature Choir, The World’s Worst Teachers, Fing, Geronimo The Penguin Who Thought He Could Fly, The World’s Worst Children 2, The World’s Worst Children 3, Grandpa’s Great Escape, Awful Auntie, The Midnight Gang, Billionaire Boy, Mr Stink, The Boy in the Dress, Ratburger, Demon Dentist, Gangster Granny, The Bear Who Went Boo, The First Hippo on the Moon, The Slightly Annoying Elephant, The Queen’s Orang-Utan and Boogie Bear ect.

PE

After dinner, I went on our trampoline to do a PE lesson so I was teaching myself how to Kody, which is a front drop to a backflip. A front drop is where you bounce in the air then jump and land onto your stomach. Also I was doing Front flips, Kabooms and Arabians.

I hope you enjoyed reading about day 2 of home educating. But now go and read day 1 of home educating.

Home Educating

Day 1 of Home Educating

coronavirus school closure tips for parents — coronavirus school closures so we carry on educating

Lets talk about day 1 of home educating Monday 23rd March. Welcome to Educ8.uk this is our blog about what we’ve done during coronavirus aka covid-19, which is its scientific name. We are going to write a blog everyday on what we’ve done at home. This is a massive project to complete but we are going to push through it since we’re educating at home.

Maths

So today our first lesson was maths and what we’re doing was working on our sheets that school sent home and mine were to do with fractions, decimals and percentages so that’s what we did in Maths. Some examples are 55%-39% or 100%-15%-10% but also there was some word problems also there were questions asking me to shade 63% of a 100 square and to turn fractions into decimals then turn decimals into percentages.

Spelling

Then we did a spelling test, which I got 10/10 on well done to me! The spellings were Bargain, Familiar, Nuisance, Conscience, Neighbour, Temperature, Amateur, Appreciate, Awkward and Determined, which was all year 5 and year 6 spelling words because I’m in year 5. I am really good at spelling words even hard ones like manufacture and car makes such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, Volkswagen and lots more car manufactures.

Reading

Finally we read for 5 minutes so I chose to read Bad Dad wrote by David Walliams. I read from page 100-106 because I read sometimes so that’s why I was already up to page 100. I like the book but it is very long but very good its all about dads that can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. There are fat ones and thin ones, tall ones and short ones. There are silly ones and serious ones, loud ones and quiet ones. Of course there are good dads. And there are bad dads. That’s like a blurb for the book obviously it talks about bad dads.

PE

After dinner, my brothers and I played tennis to get some fresh air. I did all sorts of shots like surfs, forehands, backhands, volleys etc. Get ready to hear tomorrows blog of Day 2 of home educating.
