Hey Blog! This week I want to give you an insight to a typical Wednesday out for me. This Wednesday we went to Derby, my local city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For about a year, we have been meeting two other families nearly every Wednesday. We visit places, such as parks and nature reserves. This week, we decided to go to Derby for two reasons: first, to see the Peregrines, which nest on<\/em> Derby Cathedral, and the second to visit the \u201cpeace doves\u201d exhibit in<\/em> the Cathedral. The morning began early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we go out for the latter half of the day, Wednesdays are usually lighter on bookwork than the other days of the week. I only had to do maths (45\u2019) and piano (40\u2019). In this maths unit we are learning about directed, or negative, numbers, and I was doing \u2018algebraic equations with directed number\u2019. After watching the peregrines, we went into the cathedral to have a look at the peace doves. These are about 8000 white paper doves suspended by ribbon, each of which has messages of peace, hope and love on it. They are accompanied by music and colour-changing lights, which makes it a really stunning display. If you live nearby, I recommend going to see it. Then, after admiring the doves for a time, we went over to the silk mill. It was built in the 1700s, and predates the cotton mills at Cromford. At the time we visited it, there was a model railway going, which was quite cool. Shortly afterwards it was time to go home, as I had a cricket match in the evening. This one was an away-from-home game, and we won! Then, yesterday, we played another match and\u2026 WON AGAIN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am going away this week, so my next post shall be all about where we\u2019re going \u2013 Stonehenge and London!

I did get almost all of them right, so I must be able to work just as well on the train! However, I did do my piano, which included making notation of a new piece of music for my practice, called \u201cThe playful puppy\u201d. We got into Derby quickly, and then walked from the station to the Cathedral, to find our friends. There was already a small group of DWT (Derbyshire Wildlife Trust) people with scopes up, which they let passers-by use to look at the peregrines. And to all those wondering, they do not only eat peri peri sauce, and smile all the time, they are falcons which eat pigeons and other birds. In the \u201970s they were very rare, because of persecution, pesticides, and other nasty things. Now they\u2019re back, nesting on many tall buildings around the country; one of these buildings is Derby Cathedral. By now, the chicks are well grown, and getting ready to fly, mostly by wing flaps to warm them up. I saw all three of them at the same time, and the \u2018falcon\u2019 or female sitting on the edge! We also saw the tiercel, or male peregrine, flying around. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
