April Fools' Day is about more than playing jokes, tricks and pranks. That's just the most fun part of the day! Check out why we're all so mischievous on April 1st.
The History
In the 16th century, France celebrated the New Year just like we do today, except they partied on April 1st. In 1562, Pope Gregory changed the calendar to the one we use today and from then on, the New Year began on January 1st. Lots of peeps (people) didn't know about the new calendar, or they ignored the new calendar and kept celebrating on April 1st. Everyone else called them April fools and played tricks on them.
Fools Around the World
In France today, April 1st is called Poisson d'Avril, which means April Fish. Children tape paper fish to their friends' backs and when the young "fool" finds out, the prankster yells "Poisson d'Avril!" In England, tricks can only be played in the morning. If a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle." In Scotland, you are called an "April gowk," which is another name for a cuckoo bird. In Portugal, April Fools' is celebrated on the Sunday and Monday before Lent. Pranksters (people who like to play jokes) usually throw flour at their friends.
Here is today's brain teaser....

ICT - Can I embed a 3D model?
ICT Learning
Click below for the full instructions: |
Learning this week:
Children, go to your friends' blogs and comment on their models that they posted from last week.
If you haven't finished then you can edit your model and re-post on your blog page.
An example of a good post to your friend's pages:
Hey Sarah, I really like the model you have made. It has a really good likeness to the Taj Mahal in India. The spires and roof are really detailed. I also like the windows you have put in there too. I can see that you have copied and pasted the parts to make it symmetrical.
One thing I might add as a wish is that I would have taken more time on the doors to get the same detail you have on the other parts of your model.
Take a look at my model and tell me what you think of it. :)
Tips: Be informal, be friendly and talk to your friends like you do in class. It's ok to add an emoji to the end but keep it at a single emoji.
You are doing well if:
You have used correct spelling and grammar
You have used their name
You have looked closely and offered two pieces of praise
You have offered good advice on their next steps
You have been very positive
You have used only one emoji
Take a break!
