Hi!
Today is saturday. And i am going to do some homework, before i go to the point to point(horse racing). Because I have a stream infront of my house I am going to do something on that!
From Louise
P.S. Have a cracking Easter Holiday Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice weather!
Wishing to come back to school! and see friends!!!!!
Good to see ICT being used in a creative cross-curricular way! well done to all
Clouds
Small Cumulus
Cumulus clouds are fair weather clouds. Small cumulus are formed by rising warm air that cools to the dew point and condenses. If these clouds are seen in the afternoon, there is no threat of showers. If they are not growing, they are a sign of good weather. Small cumulus are also called humilis. The formation of shallow small cumulus may be the beginning stage of a cloud which may grow into a swelling cumulus. This will happen when there is a continuous upward current of warm air. If small cumulus are seen in the morning, the atmosphere may be unstable enough for this process to happen. If the only convective clouds in the area are the small cumulus, there is no threat of showers nearby. However, sometimes, they may begin to grow after sunset and into the night, and develop into a large thunderstorm.
Swelling cumulus
Swelling cumulus clouds are called towering cumulus. They are taller than they are wider. For a swelling cumulus to develop, there must be some instability in the atmosphere. Swelling cumulus clouds should be watched very carefully over time. The earlier in the day these clouds start the form, the larger the threat of strong storms later in the day. If there is a significant amount of swelling cumulus development earlier in the day, the atmosphere may be unstable enough for these clouds to reach the cumulonimbus stage. You know the cloud has reached this stage if lightning and thunder are being produced. On the other hand, if these clouds don’t develop until late into the day, the clouds usually will not grow much larger and the risk of storms diminishes. However, there are factors that may assist the development of these clouds after sunset. The swelling cumulus cloud should be observed to see if it is strengthening before it is decided that the threat of storms has passed for the day.
Lenticulars
These clouds form as air passes over mountains. In some cases, the air will move in a smooth arc over the mountain. This is what causes the upside down saucer shape. For lenticulars to form, the air must be fairly dry yet still contain some moisture. As the air ascends up and over the mountain, it reaches a point to where the air reaches saturation and it condenses to form a cloud. If most of the air is dry, yet it still contains a few levels of moisture, the clouds will form in these moist layers. This is why lenticular clouds may sometimes have a stacked appearance.
Cumulonimbus
Cumulonimbus clouds are thunderstorm clouds. Precipitation is always present with these clouds. Often, severe weather will occur within these clouds. Cumulonimbus develop from swelling cumulus. When lightning and thunder are detectable, the cloud is a cumulonimbus. They form from a continuous column or rising warm air. Cumulonimbus clouds indicate significant instability in the atmosphere.
Cumulonimbus clouds have a very important feature called the anvil. A cloud with an anvil is always a cumulonimbus. The anvil indicates that the cloud has stopped growing vertically because of stability above the anvil top. Sometimes, parts of the anvil will detach and form cirrus clouds. You can also tell a cloud is cumulonimbus when the top has a fuzzy fibrous appearance. This indicates the presence of ice. The presence of ice means the cloud has reached the high cloud level and is now a cumulonimbus.
It is extremely important to monitor cumulonimbus clouds since they more often than not produce severe weather. The earlier in the day these cloud form, the greater their significance to severe weather.
Kelvin-Hemholtz
These clouds which have the appearance of breaking waves only last for a short time. Usually they only last for a few seconds to a few minutes. These clouds indicate wind sheer. In other words they indicate a large change in wind speed over a small increase in altitude.
Altostratus
Altostratus clouds form when there is a significant amount of moisture present. If the altostratus clouds cover a large portion of the sky, are increasing in coverage, and are approaching from the direction of the wind at the clouds’ level then widespread precipitation could be expected in the area. However, the precipitation may not occur directly overhead. These clouds often are carried long distances without significant change. In the winter of the northern states, these clouds move ahead of large scale weather disturbances. During the summer, altostratus may be produced by the outflow at higher levels from nocturnal thunderstorms. In the south summer and fall, these clouds are produced from the northward outflow from tropical and subtropical systems farther south. As moisture flows northward from the southwestern summer monsoon, altostratus may be produced.
Stratus
Very little precipitation ever falls from stratus clouds, except for maybe a few drops of drizzle or snowflakes. These clouds appear very large since they are so close to the ground. Stratus clouds indicate low level moisture and often represent saturation near the surface. Stratus clouds may be common along a coast or in a valley where moisture is often plentiful. Elsewhere, stratus clouds may accompany warm or cold fronts or tropical and subtropical disturbances. During the summer, stratus clouds may represent areas of high humidity. It is important to note that stratus clouds are very uniform in appearance. If the clouds have variation across the sky, they are stratocumulus. Stratus clouds may form overnight as a result of surface cooling. This is especially common in low areas or near lakes. Stratus clouds also represent the transition to or from fog and cumulus clouds.
Mammatus
Mammatus clouds are an indication of very severe weather. They are formed by the action of a cumulonimbus cloud. They represent very unstable conditions. Large mammatus clouds I ndicates that there is a very strong thunderstorm near by. Mammatus form under the anvil. The pouch like structures are a result of sinking air. Updrafts carry moist air upward where it spreads out horizontally. This moist saturated air is heavy and begins to sink. This is the sinking motion that forms the mammatus. These clouds do not produce severe weather, rather they only accompany severe weather. Mostly, mammatus are seen after the worst part of a thunderstorm.
Nimbostratus
Nimbostratus clouds are precipitation clouds. They sometimes appear to be blurred. This is because of the falling rain or snow. Nimbostratus clouds always bring precipitation. Nimbostratus clouds should be watched closely because most thunderstorms start with a nimbostratus phase. If the nimbostratus cloud is convective, which means it is growing vertically through the upward motion of warm air, then a thunderstorm could develop very quickly.
Stratocumulus
Like stratus clouds, stratocumulus may occur often along coasts. Elsewhere, the clouds accompany larger scale weather systems, usually after the passage of a cold front or a humid large-scale disturbance, and most commonly in the afternoons. Stratocumulus could be the end result of the decrease in cloud cover before a new weather cycle begins. They are often seen before the sky clears. Cold air passing over the warmer great lakes during the fall can produce stratocumulus. Stratus clouds indicate low level moisture. This low level moisture allows saturation to be reached and the stratocumulus cloud can form. Weak instability needs to be present in the lower layer of the cloud to increase the variability and a more visible structure. This is one way the difference between stratus and stratocumulus can be determined.
Cirrostratus
Cirrostratus indicate a significant amount of moisture in the higher levels of the atmosphere. A layer of wide spread cirrostratus may indicate one of two things. The first being the approach of an active disturbance. The second being an inactive high level moisture outflow. This happens during the monsoon season in the Southwestern United States. Also, when moisture flows outward from the tops of tropical or subtropical disturbances, cirrostratus usually form. Cirrostratus clouds tend to blend in with other clouds of an approaching warm front. If over time (usually several hours), cirrostratus clouds are becoming more dense and are increasing, other clouds should be watched because an increase in other clouds may indicate a more active weather situation. One example is if a sheet of cirrostratus is seen merging into an area of altostratus clouds, precipitation may occur in the near future.
Altocumulus
Altocumulus clouds which cover a large area for a long time (several hours) indicate an active moving weather system and a significant flow of moisture over a long distance (hundreds of miles). If cloud layers at other levels can also be seen, an organized weather system may be approaching the area. If the altocumulus clouds only last for a few hours and only cover a small portion of the sky, there is most likely no big weather system in the area. If altocumulus clouds grow and increase in thickness over time, most likely, there is moist air rising. If they are approaching from the direction of the wind at the clouds’ level then a change towards moister weather may be indicated. When altocumulus clouds pass over a rough or mountainous area, they can form into lenticular, lens shaped clouds.
Cirrus
Organized storm systems are usually accompanied by cirrus clouds however, these clouds are usually obstructed from view by lower clouds. Cirrus clouds tend to have feathery strands called mares’ tails. These often indicate the approach of a warm front marking the advance of a storm system. This is usually true when the cirrus clouds are wide spread, and more dense. It is also common to observe isolated cirrus clouds. Whenever there is moisture in the upper levels of the atmosphere, cirrus clouds will usually form. These isolated clouds do not usually have much significance and indicate a relatively neutral situation. Therefore, it is important to take note when observing cirrus whether the clouds are isolated, or if they cover a larger portion of the sky. The isolated cirrus usually do not mean much, but if the cirrus clouds are increasingly dense and widespread, they may indicate the approach of a weather system.

Wednesday 1: 10 4th April Sunny but a tiny bit of wind Lovely weather
from louise
p.s. Is any one going on holiday because I am going on holiday to Shell Island in Wales with some friends and my cousin!
hi every one it is Wednesday yesterday i went on to google and got on to a program called investigating rivers for homework and got some information on them. I am having a good easter holiday
Hope you are too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Clunbury! I have been down to the river with Lou and my brothers.
The rivers water is really chilly which was nice because the weather has been so hot recently. The dog loves the river too, he has a good splash around in there and cools off his feet.
hope you had a good holday!!!
i was really thrilled that i got a responce at the Albrighton Hall Hotel,
Hello Clunbury! I am sitting at my desk at Llwyn Filly whilst some of you are outside on my field playing.
I must say, i am very impressed with your website and i have been exploring it. Very naughty of me as i am supposed to be doing paperwork!
It is 7.30 on Friday evening and you have just arrived. You were playing rounders with my dog (Tinker) and now you are going to play The Great Egg Race.
I’ll speak to you all soon
Remember to be quiet tonight and not to wake me up!!!
Stig
Is this the right page to do this on?
The Y6 are going to an end of year trip and I would either like to go ice skatting or ten pin bowling.
What do you say?
Hi everyone the school holiday was brill!!.But we are all back to school now and there are alot of things going on! .
hi louise my name is jodie i am from villiers primary school hpoe to hear from you
