Poetry

We have been inspired by Brian Moses poem Walking with my Iguana. You can listen to it HERE
Here is one of our own versions:-

I’m walking
With my giraffe
I’m walking
With my giraffe
When we walk along
His neck goes up high
He munches leaves
From up in the sky
He looks around
And sees tiny people
and I’m walking
with my giraffe
I’m walking
with my giraffe
Well if anyone sees us
we’re a big surprise,
my giraffe and me
on our daily exercise,
till somebody phones
the local police
says I’ve got a big thing
tied to a leash
when I’m walking
with my giraffe
I’m walking
with my giraffe
It’s the spots on his back
that make him look funny
but he loved to be tickled
under his tummy. 
And I know that my giraffe
is ready for bed
when he puts on his pyjamas
and lays down his sleepy head.
And I’m walking
with my giraffe
still walking
with my giraffe
With my giraffe…
and my giraffe….
and I’m walking
with my giraffe
with my giraffe
with my giraffe yeah!

Author Visits

The author visits were really good! Simon Cheshire came first. He wrote Jeremy Brown - Spy, Pants on Fire and many more. He explained about how to get ideas for stories as ideas can pop into your head at any time or place (including in the chippy!)
Jeremy Strong came next, the author of My Dad's Got an Alligator and My Nan's Great Escape! He was a funny man making us all laugh our heads off. He read us an extract from his new book also he showed us you're never too young to be a writer. After that he showed where he worked.
on the whole we had two great visits that we all enjoyed. AP

Through The Dragon's Eye: Gorwen vs Charn!

Chapter 8 The Great Battle
Gorwen defended himself. Charn couldn't to defeat Gorwen. Charn had melted the others but Gorwen brought them back to life. Gorwen began to fade away. DM


Through the Dragon's Eye is good because Charn gets defeated by Gorwen. Charn had turned Morris and Doris and the pets into puddles. The mouse, Boris and the children are looking for the last veeton. They have found two veetons. HN

My Dad's Big Adventure

My big dad was going on a big adventure that was called the Haunted House. When my dad went he was really scared because the house was haunted. The person who lived there was really scary because when my dad had been there Trick or Treating, the man who lived there shouted 'GET OFF MY LAWN' that's why no one should ever go there. That's why.

Literacy Inspire

Thank you to everyone who came to the workshop today and thank you for the feedback. To follow up a few of the questions. Dan Freedman writes the football stories (see cover pics for his and other possible books)

Some also asked about how to make an online word search. On the ICT blog there will soon be some help with this and links to useful sites.

Simon Cheshire visit

Simon Cheshire visited on Tuesday. Here is what some of the class said about the visit.

I thought it was very funny and his books were very good they make you laugh and he has great ideas. MJ

I liked it because he explained how to write stories really well. KJ

I liked the stories he told they were very good.

I laughed when the giant squirrel ate the people who were racing. MC

I thought it was funny because he told us he had nightmares when thinking about the plot. SV

If you want to become a story writer always carry a notebook to write down your ideas. CG

It’s really important to keep reading if you want to become a writer. DM

Viking Day

On Tuesday the 23rd of March it was Viking day. We all came to school
dressed as vikings. In the morning when everyone came in they were acting
all silly and playing around. Firstly we all swapped classes. 3M went to
3C, 3C went to 3O and 3M. In 3C we were making a longship by colouring it
in cutting it out and sticking it together. When it was finished we were
allowed to pretend that they were real. After break it was time to swap
again. We got sent to Mr Orr. In Mr Orr's class we played a game called
Kings Table. To play we had to log onto the internet. One player had to be white 
and the other player was red. The red team had less
people but had a king. The white team had more people but had no king. PA


Today it was viking day and we went in the hall and we had our photo with
our class. JR


Today it is Viking day it is very exicting for year 3. Everyone in year 3
got dressed up as Viking people. Miss Mabb, Mr Orr and Mr Crees looked
really funny in there outfits.This morning we went to Mr Crees' class. HM


Today is Tuesday 23 March 2010 which is viking day. First we went to Mr
Crees' class and made longships. First we coloured it all in then we
stuck it toghether and I finished mine. Then we went to Mr Orr's class and
played a game called Kings Table. I won three times and my partner was
Mason. I think my costume was not a viking look alike NP

More Science Day

On the 12th of March was Science day. We made magic muffins! Then we made slime! I had green slime! The experiment was called slime time! The choice of colours were green, red and blue. We had a lady called Sarah, she did our experiments with us. After we had finshed it, we split into 5 groups I went to Mr Crowley first we made a lava effect. Then I went to Mr Dourass's paper aeroplane experiment we threw them and the long card planes went the furthest. ET

On Friday the 12th of March it was Science day. In 3m we were doing slimetime. Firstly we did an experiment called magic muffins. To make magic muffins you have to get a special chemical called pva and pour another special chemical into it. Finally you have to add some food colouring and then it explodes. Next we made our own slime to take home. The choice of colours were green, red and blue. Most people choose green to make it look like real slime. Once Pete, Martin and Sarah were finished in year 3 they went up to year 4. Everyone in year 3 got split up into 5 groups. one group went to Mr Crowley, one group went to Miss Mabb, one group went toMr Dourass, one group went to Mr Crees and one group went to Mr Orr. Mr Orr was doing a coke experiment, Miss Mabb was doing sweet tasting, Mr Crowley was doing a volcano, Mr Crees was doing an egg eating milk bottle and Mr Dourass was doing paper aeroplanes. My favourite activity was sweet tastingwith Miss Mabb. My favourite part of the day was the morning because the sciencetists set up an assembly called Mad Science. The first thing the scienctists did in assembly was setting the piece of paper on fire and making it disappear. Every time it disappeared it went into Sarah's pocket. My favourite part of the assembly was when Mrs Heelas went onto the hoverboard. PA

Science Day

On Friday 12th March 2010 it was Science day. My class, 3M made slime with Sonic Sara.
We made some on our tables and some to take home with us. Guess what? No don't guess I will tell you. I was walking home showing my brother and sister my slime, when my nan said to put it away whilst we cross the road so I put the lid on it and got it out at home but when I got it outi I obviously had not put the lid on right so it had exploded in my bag. I have now put it in the bin! by JV :)

On the 12th of March it was science day it was very exciting for year 3. Everyone in the school watched a show called Mad Science.The people who did the show were Sarah, Martin and Peter. Sarah got out this hoverboard. She picked Miss Heelas to go on the hoverboard. HM

Science day was great fun especially when the visitors came in our class and did stuff. We had Sonic Sarah and we did slime and we were allowed to make some on our own and choose a colour I chose red. It was funny when the teachers came out dressed up in a lab coats. Mr Orr he really looked like a scientist. The assembly was even better than great, I loved it especially when Sonic Sarah had a toilet roll and blew it all over Miss Wilkes. When Mrs Heelas went on that hoverboard it was really funny.Then we went to Mr Orr's class and did the cocacola thing all the boys were going under the cocacola. When it was squirting out it was funny. NP

Vikings

In year 3 we have been working on the vikings today 9/3/10 we 3M made a
report about them. How much do you know about the vikings? Well I know not
much but I know that when vikings didn't have a country to conquer they
conquered each other. The viking children didn't go to school they read
books to learn and help their moms at home. Viking women weren't allowed on
raids they were only allowed on if they were going somewhere else to
settle from NP


In year 3 we have  been working on the Vikings. Did you know the vikings
never went to battle with horns on there helmets.The Viings came from
Norway, Denmark and Sweden. HM


Hi I am going to tell you all about Viking Day!We made a Longship
{in mr crees's class}.I also played a game called Kings table!I hope
I will enjoy the rest of the day {I will!} ET

The Lost Teddy

It was a lovely Sunday morning and it was the first week of the summer holidays. Lilly went to the fun fair. To her surprise, she had won a gorgeous pink teddy, you should have seen it. Lilly named it Molly. Lilly’s Mum was called Sarah and her Dad was called David.

After a while she asked her Mom if she could go on the merry go round. Lilly’s Mom thought for a moment, only if you go with an adult” so Lilly called her Dad to go on the merry go round with her. She was so excited because she had never been on it before.

She did not see that Molly was slipping right out of her hands. 15 minutes later Lilly and her Mum and Dad had looked all over the fun fair to see if she could find Molly but it was really dark and they were so tired their eyes were flinching. Sarah Lilly’s Mum told Lilly that they would come back tomorrow but Lilly refused to go home. She wanted to find Molly. Meanwhile Sarah and David were walking home. Lilly was trailing home behind them.

While Lilly was walking behind, a strange man wearing a black suit, appeared in front her.

“I know where your teddy is. “ he said in a growling voice. “Follow me!” Her parents did not notice Lilly following the stranger and carried on walking home. Meanwhile the dark, sinister man lead Lilly to his van with blackened windows.

“Your teddy is in the boot. You can get it if you like.” He opened the doors and Lilly climbed in.

“STOP” screamed a familiar voice! “I have your teddy he’s lying” “JANE ITS YOU,HELP” Lilly screamed. The man saw that Jane and Lilly knew each other so he just drove off. Jump in my car and here is your teddy I will take you home know. When Lilly got home she got a very good telling off and Lilly learnt NEVER EVER to go with a stranger EVER again.

School Stuff

I love this school because I like the painting's around it. Mr Orr, Miss Mabb and Mr Crees
are the best teaches in Yr 3. The best topic I liked was teeth and eating. JB

In maths we have been learning about scales. Miss Begum had to work very hard on our maths. When we were learning about this in maths we learned about negative numbers and positive numbers. I worked with a friend. We helped each other on the worksheets about scales. JC

Experiment

3C did a experiment a couple of days ago. It was on the Teeth and Eating topic.WHAT WE DID... We got a glass of milk, and then a glass of Ribena, and next was a glass of diet coke, and after that was a glass of water. Finally it was a glass of normal coke. We put a tooth in each glass and we are going to leave them there over the half term and after that we will see what has happened to the teeth. NM

Clubs

In the juniors we have a lot of clubs. There is drama club, writing club, basket ball club, recording club, tennis club, football club, violin and guitar club. They are really fun .Mr Orr runs lots of them he is a really good teacher too. Hope you enjoyed reading this!!! HG

Investigation

In science were investigating eating. We are trying to find out which is the most popular food for wild animals. Is it mostly bread, sunflower seeds orraisans. We have to see which is the most popular.It's so exiting. NP

Half Term

I can not believe that its half term already. Everyone seems to be very excited. I will be surprised if anyone is upset about having a half term. Thank you to all the teachers in the school who have tried really hard to set up all of our work. I am also saying thank you to all of the pupils who have tried especially hard with the work that the teachers give them. PA

Science

In science we have done some investigating about teeth and eating. You should have a healthy body. These are the things you should eat the most in order. First is carbohydrates second is fruit and veg then it is proteins and finally it is the 'not very healthy' fats and sugars. Your teeth should be healthy not rotten. You should have your five a day that is healthy! JC

Diversity Week

During Diversity week we had lots of visitors. If you are wondering what Diversity means it means that we are learning about different religions. Class 3C, 3O and 3M made videos and posters and we had to show the videos and posters to all of the school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yes Im serious you know. NM

Teeth & Eating

In science we have a topic we are focusing on. That topic is teeth and eating. So far we have sorted food into groups, found out how many of each food we can eat in one day and looked at a pyramid that told us the different type's of food. I liked learning about healthy food. By NM
