Faster and faster my wheels turned, round the corner leaping bump to bump on the uneven ground.

My speed picking up incredibly quick as I followed the herd, I slip and slide around the bend and gripped my tyres. Past the swaying trees in the woodland to the left of me, at amazingly high speed. As I followed on I had a funny and stomach quenching idea, that my rider hadn’t seen the huge stone just lying in the middle of the track in the exact same direction we were heading. Gripping my wheels and brakes trying as hard as i could to slow down and stop, I jerked forward my wheel in great pain. I lay there on my side facing the fallen rider, lay still on the ground in front of me.

 I looked up and saw a grazed knee, a member of staff knelt at my side, and a dozen eyes just gazing at me. In pure embarrassment I stood up in shock, also wondering what had just happened. The member of staff picked up my quad, i got back on and we continued our dangerous journey onward.

Backpage is a new resource from the BBC for parents of primary school aged children.

The site comprises of a large collection of video clips with practical suggestions and help for parents to support children from Reception to Year 6 in English and Maths.

I’d be interested to hear the views of any parents who may have visited the site. (I’ll keep the link on Delicious - our growing collection on useful links found on the right of this page)

Some of Class 2 have been doing some maths investigations based on this wonderful pattern generator. 

Look at this pattern.

Can you work out the next colour?

What colour star will be in the 100th space?

Good to be back isn’t it?

Class 2 are looking at Ancient Egypt this term. Some useful websites have been added to del.icio.us
