Super sewing

Take a look at this beautiful piece of careful cross stitch!  Lauren says she found it quite tricky to start with, but she got better and better and this is the result.  Now she just needs to decide what to turn it into.  Lovely work, Lauren!

Challenge after challenge!

Mrs Bennett has really challenged her maths set this week, but she couldn't catch out Phoebe, Lucas and George!  They have been adding two- and three-digit numbers to crack a code to find letters and then unscrambling anagrams to find creatures from under the sea.  What cleverclogses!

The most AMAZING blue frog!

My goodness, Joshua has been working hard!  He has drawn a beautiful poisonous blue frog (who lives in the rainforest and says 'ribbit'!), and has typed up some amazing sentences about it.  I am very impressed by his fabulous work and the way he can talk about it.  Brilliant stuff, Joshua!

Well, I have certainly learned a lot about Rudyard Kipling that I did not know!  Thomas and Aiden have recorded lots of facts in these really interesting, illustrated biographies.  No wonder Mrs Bennett is pleased with them!

You'll never guess what happened!

 These diary entries have been beautifully written by Oslo and Amy who have chosen some amazing vocabulary and phrases that really make you want to read all about what happened during their day.  Who would have thought that they would bump into a caveman?  Great writing, folks!

Well I never ...!

Did you know that there is a caveman living in a cave, and none of us has realised!  Well, not until someone fell down a hole and found him.  Just read Holly's, Connor's, Callum's or Phoebe's newspaper accounts and you will find out who, when, where and what!  They have included some great quotations as well.

Caveman Adventures

Stuck for something to do this weekend?  You need to go and visit Charlie's or Willow's new caveman theme park.  Their detailed descriptions and use of interesting vocabulary make these sound like a really great day out for all the family.  I can't wait!

A spoonful of sugar!

I think this is the most beautiful recipe I have ever read, Sophie!  She has thought really hard about what makes one of her friends so special, and found a measure for each attribute.  This is a super piece of work.  Well done you!

Are you sitting comfortably?

Harvey couldn't fit more expression into his reading if he tried!  He always looks carefully at the punctuation so that he makes his reading make sense, emphasises words that need emphasising, and uses different voices for different characters.  It is an absolute pleasure listening to him read.

Once upon a time ...

Charlie is very proud of the dinosaur story he has created using Book Creator on an iPad, and so he should be!  There are pictures, text and sound to tell the reader what happened.  This is a fabulous piece of work, Charlie!
