Myths and legends

In Foxes, they have been learning about myths, so Sammy decided to write her own.  It has loads of interesting vocabulary choices and huge amounts of detail, both of which make it a really interesting story.  Super work, Sammy!

The best bed time story in the world!

Charlie's story has got everything - drama, laughter, tears, suspense and a hero!  He has worked so hard to write and create this book, and what a special book he has to keep.  Mrs Lister and I REALLY enjoyed sharing this together with you, Charlie.  Well done you!

Your empire needs YOU!

These folks have certainly made joining the Roman army sound very appealing if you are strong and fit (and want to attract women!).  Tomas, Riley and Emily have listened carefully in their lessons and have included lots of information they have learned in their posters.  Well done, people!

What is Easter all about?

Sophie really enjoys her R.E. lessons.  That's why, after writing a detailed explanation of Easter in class, she went home and wrote another copy of all the things she had remembered.  It's lovely that you are so enthusiastic about your learning, Sophie.  Well done you!

Guess who!

Elsa, Autumn and Sam have been pretending to be a character from The Jungle Book and then writing an account in the first person.  They have used some great adjectives and vocabulary choices to describe the events in a really interesting way.  Well done, folks!

Division made easy

Oliver finds division really easy when he chunks numbers using a number line.  He spots the number he's dividing by and then counts up until he reaches the number he is dividing.  What clever thinking!

Surprised!

Henri Rousseau has certainly inspired Izzy and Justin!  After looking at his painting, they have produced these beautiful oil pastel drawings that they would like framed when they take them home please, Mum!!

We will remember ...

It is wonderful to know that Elle, Mason, Rachel, Isobel, Charlie and Sam have taken Remembrance Day so seriously.  Their acrostic poems really quite moving with carefully chosen vocabulary and beautiful phrases they certainly make you stop and think.  Amazing work, people!

Play script

Not only has Kieran written a fabulous play script, he has also used a pink polishing pen to edit his work.  I was very impressed by the way he showed the need for question marks rather than full stops. Superb work!

Marvellous movie

Olivia, Kevin and Harvey (photo to follow) have produced an amazing Olympic promo.  They have combined different effects and techniques to convey the drama of the original Olympic Games and compiled them into a superb video.  Well done, folks!

High drama in Ancient Greece

It wasn't easy being an Olympian, as these four chaps have very cleverly shown us in their impressive iMovie.  In about a minute and a half, the music, stills, videos and costumes really capture the drama of the challenges the Ancient Greeks endured.  Great work, Thomas, Connor, James and Teddy!

The first Olympics

Well, I've certainly learned a lot about the first Olympics from this fabulous research by Oscar.  He has included so many interesting and little-known facts in this beautifully presented piece of writing, no wonder he is a special achiever.  Super work, Oscar!

Someone I know!

Meet our new biographers - James, Marcy, Aidan, Shannon, Thomas and George!  They are Special Achievers because they have put a little extra effort into their research and presentation of these informative life stories about a member of their family.  Brilliant work!

Ty's Treasure Trove

Ty is a double achiever this week because she has been teaching Mrs Jolly how to read the words in her special treasure box.  They are both working really hard and I was amazed by how many words there are in the box altogether.  Fantastic work, Ty!

Rhyming under the sea

Chanya, Holly, Kellen and Oslo have been having a go at writing rhyming poems. They have used what they have learned about life under the sea, have added adjectives to make their poetry interesting AND included rhyming words at the ends of the lines.  Fab work, folks!

Sensory emotions

These children have been doing some very deep and creative thinking this week.  They have been talking about a wide range of emotions and then each chose one to describe using their senses.  What very mature pieces of work Ty, Lacey, Jack, Zach, Alfie, Eleanor, Connor, Elsa, Sophie, Millie and Erin!

HOT off the press!

Travis, Josh, Amy and Summer are our latest reporters to write newspaper articles about the recent volcanic eruptions!  Their reports include quotations, facts and illustrations, and are written in a realistic reporting style.  Great work, newshounds!

Explosive writing

Lexi, Jack, Finley, Connor and Harley have used lots of the information they have learned this term to make these informative leaflets about volcanoes.  They are beautifully presented and illustrated, and show just how much the class is enjoying this topic.  Well done, people!

Comical comic strips!

These fabulous four have shown that they know how to turn a gruesome story into an entertaining and humorous comic strip!  Shannon and Grace, and Katie and Harvey have added captions and speech bubbles to tell the heroic Saxon story of Beowulf, with a gross end included!  Well done, people!

As strong as Beowulf!

George and Josh have each produced a fabulous character profile of Beowulf using adjectives and similes to describe his appearances and his qualities.  Two imaginative pieces of work, lads.  Great work!
