Buy it! Buy it! You've really got to try it!

This week Year 3 really enjoyed creating adverts for their own fictional boat. Do their snappy slogans and special features convince you to buy them?

Glorious Gloriana!

This week Year 3 have been focusing upon non-fiction. They wrote very imaginative news reports about Gloriana, the Queen's barge. We hope that you enjoy them!

Total Eclipse

In 4E we learnt about the solar eclipse.  Then we create videos and books about what we had learnt.  
Here is Priya and Amy's video.

Disaster Coming!

This week in Year 4 we have been creating global problems.  We have then designed robots to save the world from these disasters.  To prepare ourselves for writing a narrative, we interviewed experts about the disasters in our own News Round videos.  Here is the trailer for them and one of our videos.

Rock the Boat

This week the children created their own boat to replace Titanic in the story 'Titanicat'. Can you spot the five senses in Ashton's writing?

Have you ever seen such a snowy white boat. While the turquoise waves smash on the gorgeous boat it sails dramatically. Occasionally, the boat suffocates in the freezing cold bubbly, blue sea. The smell of rotten salmon invades my nose. The boat tastes of the salt from the cold, freezing sea. The windows shiver because the freezing cold salt water splashes them like a speed boat sprinting through the sea. The boat hears the waves splashing. Ashton (3B)

Roping Together

This week in 3B the children have been reading Titanicat. They went outside and retold the story using rope and chalk!

Bookish Characters

It's World Book Day!  To celebrate the whole school dressed up like their favourite book characters. In 4E we took pictures of ourselves and wrote descriptions of our characters.  Here are a few for you to enjoy!

Sinking Kennings

Last week in literacy 3C we're looking at different types of Poems linked to our theme Titanic. On Friday we went outside and looked at how ice moved on the playground. We collected language whilst looking at the ice and then wrote kennings about icebergs.

The ice

A life taker,

A penguin hider,

A ship sinker,

A fridge freezer,

A quick slider.

Aaron 3C

The iceberg

A sly ship murderer,

A huge penguin saver,

An ignorant people killer,

A sneaky cunning hider,

An evil life ruiner.

Shannon 3C

An iceberg

A ship sinker,

A slippery saver,

An underwater killer,

A gigantic floater,

A big slider.

To Make a Robot

This week in 4E we looked at a poem called 'To Make an Ogre'.  It has lots of lovely metaphors!  We enjoyed reading it so much that we wrote our own poems called 'To Make a Robot' based on it.  We worked in pairs to write our poems.  Which is your favourite metaphor?

Melting Kennings

This week year 3 have been learning about Kennings and Caligrams. We have linked this to our topic which is Titanic so we went outside to look at ice and how it moves!

We then used our ideas to write Kennings!

A colossal boat destroyer.
A calm captain panicker.
A silent filler.
An oak wooden deck ripper.
A death bringer.
It is like a monster rising.

A solid crasher.
A patient waiter.
An aggressive wave fighter.
A silent swimming
It is a wave pusher!
Natasha

A spiky reflector
A ice freezer
A ship demolisher
A transparent waiter.
