Roman Day

On Thursday it was Roman day.
We all dressed up as Romans and had lots of fun. We made a mosaic, a Roman bracelet and clay decoration. At the end of the day we had a feast and we had slave and rich and took turns. What did it feel to be a slave?
Well a little bit scary.
How did it feel to be rich?
We felt like queens.

Life at school

O.K. Life at school can be nice, but only sometimes. Most of the time we’re sitting on the carpet and at our desk doing work and there is less games. I love maths the best as it is very… mad and fun!! School feels like it will never end when we learn something new. Were learning about Romans and we’re very happy learning about them. SH

The Animal Lady

The animal lady came into our school and she bought a snake and a skunk and a bird also a tortoise it was only 3 years old and it was so cute and sweet. It felt so smooth, I wanted to hold the tortoise. The bird was a Cuckoobara had a little accident on our hall floor. The snake was rapping its body around the ladies arm. The lady was very brave to hold all of the animals. By E.k

A couple of days ago, we saw four animals, the first one was a snake we got to stroke him but we had to use the back of our hand so he didn’t get all sweaty. After that we got to stroke the tortoise, he felt hard because of his shell. After that, you’re not going to belief this, ok it was a… skunk. She didn’t use her perfume though. After that we saw a king fisher though he doesn’t eat fish he eats insects. MW

A lady came into the school and had and a tortoise and a snake and a bird. The lady let us stroke the animals. MK

Bonjour!

Bonjour! We are the first year group in the school to start learning French. We have some good fun on a Monday afternoons in the Fun Factory. Mrs Pitt dresses up in a beret and teaches us how to say hello or to say we are ok in French. I am good at French now. Soon we will be learning our numbers. By TM

Science

Today is just a normal day, this morning we did science with Mrs Dewel. We are learning about magnets at the moment and today we wrote facts we know about them and I have learnt lots. Did you know that magnets have a north and south pole and only the north and south will attract? If you put south and south together they will repel same with north. I love science! MW

Anti - Bullying Week

This week is anti-bullying week, on Friday we will be wearing blue. We will be wearing blue so our teachers and school mates know that were against bullying as a school. This morning we had an assembly about anti-bullying, and in this assembly we had a story about a little boy, he had a friend whose ears went in circles when you pulled a hair out of the middle of his head. Weird isn’t it but we should NEVER bully people for the way they are, in fact I think that you shouldn’t bully people at all. If you have Sky, watch, See Something Say Something.

Remembrance Day

Today is Wednesday 11th November 2008 I know that it’s weird that I’m writing about Remembrance Day but I want to. So I think Remembrance Day is a special time at 11 o’clock on the 11th day of the 11th month we think about the people who gave up there lives to save ours. Whilst doing this you, yes you should have been wearing a poppy, if you were wearing one, congratulations! At school we threw a special assembly that was a very dark assembly. At 11 o’clock we stopped and had 2 minutes silence in that 2 minutes silence we saw Mrs Pitt’s photos of her husband in the war - he didn’t die. You can see one of the photos above. Bye for now.
By MW

Remembrance Day is a special time of year because we think of people who have died in war or who have helped our country. We all had 2 minutes silence. In the 2 minutes we had a think about the people who have been in the war. We saw Mrs Pitts photos of her husband before he went to Iraq.

Language Alive

Today Language Alive came in. They acted out a play and in the play they fall out. There’s a new law saying they need a license to tell stories. They had a problem, on the letter it said they had to do it alone. In the end they said they would move to Bejing so they didn’t have to get a license.

SH

Today at school a team called Language Alive came. Language Alive are actors. When they came in [which was…5 minutes ago they did a play which was very good, amazing, fantastic. At first we met someone called Malcolm and then he told us to go to the market [which was the hall] and guess what we met a story teller. When we were there they fell out but then they were friends and wanted to do a story together at the stadium but couldn’t because the rules said 1 person per act so they moved to Bejing to tell stories together.
By MW

Today it is the 10th of November and we had two visitors we went strait down to meet them everyone was excited. When we got in the hall there were two people. All through the acting they argued a lot, but after all we had to help them because they did not know if they should go in that silly show or not but when they saw the instructions they went mad because they wanted to do it together but the rules said they can’t tell stories together just one person at a time. ET

Today the class liked our visitors .It was great and really funny. It was a language alive story telling. We all got to join in .The stories were about friendships, lessons and feelings. And a story was about a story telling contest. MC

Today in Assembly we learnt about hedgehogs. We had a man called John came, he taught us lots. He was from the Birmingham City Council Park Services. He showed us what the hedgehogs hibernate in. It was a box with a tube that was made to crawl through. Lots of girls and boys wanted to be a hedgehog guardian who has to to look after the hedgehog and feed it and check it once and a while.

The Sponsored Walk

The sponsored walk was amazing! I really enjoyed dressing up and walking round the school. Ten times I walked round the school PHEW! It even tires me out thinking about it. I dressed up as a bad fairy but my costume was very itchy * scratches arm* it still itches now even though I’m not wearing it. It had little red and black skeletons all over it spooky! *creepy music* bye for now.

Lunt Fort Story 2

Yay! Trip day is here, I couldn’t wait to get on the yellow coach. The engine roared as we ran onto the coach. Everybody was loud, noisy on the way. I wondered when we were going to get there when suddenly someone shouted “were here”. Every body hurried of the coach. I blew of the coach towards my class suddenly a man came over and said “hello my names Doug I am your leader for the day”. I followed Doug to the wooden granary. He gave some advice “eat some lunch and buy something from the shop”.
Then after lunch I went and bought a torc when suddenly I didn’t know were my mates were not even my class just then I heard a faint roar from the gyrus as I walked in I smelt blood .When a man came over he had a sword and shield . He took me to a Roman Governor .
Wwwwhere was I ?, I didn’t understand . Now I know I’m in the Governors’ office ”How did you get here?” “I…I” I murmured but he was having none of it. He was talking to the guard privately he said… do you really want me to tell you… you will be sorry.. he said THROW HER TO THE LIONS!! .Then I fainted but when I awoke I heard Mr Crees’ voice “Meghan are you listening”? I just nodded. by mw

My Lunt Fort Story

We all lined up and crammed on coaches. The coaches we’re bright, shiny and shimmers in the light off them we’re graceful. The day had come, we we’re going to Lunt Roman Fort! We we’re very hot on the coaches, as they we’re big and very full. Eventually we got to a big wooden gate, we we’re there! We met our guide Doug, he was very funny. He got us marching shouting “sin,dex,sin,dex”. Later on we went to the Granary, it was made of wood nice and brown. I saw Ellie and Meghan get dressed up in gleaming, shining armour. I touched Meghan’s armour and there was a blinding flash of light.
All of a sudden there we’re 3 of Meghan then 2 then a roman, we had gone back in time, but at least Meghan we’re ok. Except we could hear footsteps, they sounded like Roman footsteps. Then we knew they we’re because they grabbed us each on the shoulder.
We all closed our eyes, when we opened them we all had a surprise as we we’re in the same room as the guard, dun dun der! The Romans asked what to do with us and the guard said” put them in with the elephants so they could trammel on us, and get some exercise. I then remembered the armour that Meghan and Ellie we’re still wearing, I thought it might work in reveres order if I touched Ellie, so I did and there was a blinding flash of light, we we’re back in the Granary with everyone around us saying “where have you been, we have been looking for you every where”. We all just cried in relief. by sh
