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.

Revolutionary Inventions

In 4E we have been designing our own inventions and creating adverts for them.  Here is Amy's Super Stationary Swapper.  We think it would be a welcome addition to our classroom!

The Happy King's Castle

Year Three have been learning all about explanations this week. The children designed their own machine which would keep a king happy and clean his castle from top to toe! Here is an extract from Diya's explanation.

Do you suffer from an enraged king? If so buy this mammoth machine which will clean the whole castle of yours. But how does it work?

To start the machine you will have to simply press the red button, a big spark will spin around in the pump. Meanwhile,  a dashing flash will appear and get the machine started.
