Myth Quest Story again

2011-06-15T20:45:00.002+01:00

A long time ago before illness came there lived a teenager called John he lived in Jasper by the edge of the sea. There was a monster called Jaw Dagger who lived on a island far away with a magic apple. John wanted the apple because it would fit in the middle of a stone and give the bad world a disease and they would die.

So John was chosen to go on the quest. He got in a boat and set off. On the way he saw whirlpools and pirates. So when John reached the ship he jumped onto the ship and threw them off. Soon John managed to get to the island.

He slowly approached Toxic the big metal warrior. He threw the sword it swiped Toxic and he exploded but when John reached the cave he saw metal surrounding the apple. Bravely John whacked the metal but his axe kept bouncing off. Just then John cleverly found a slit in the metal. He smacked it and the metal broke. Then John struggled to pull the apple out but eventually he managed it.

A week later he arrived home. The people there were heartbroken to see him they gave him the stone and the bad world got a disease and they died and John became king. JR

Myth Quest Story

The king of the castle said Bobovic you’re a good fighter to defeat the monster so you can go.

The next morning Bobovic got all of his clothes ready to set of on a boat. Later on he was half way there all he needed to do was steer to the first left then he somehow got there in time suddenly he heard a big bang it was the treasure. Bobovic went into a big leathery cave trying to work out where he heard the bang but he heard the Bang again and again then a big hairy monster lashed out at him and licked Bobovic nearly to death but Bobovic got the treasure and ran out of the cave screaming with agony. Bobovic shut the cave door and ran all the way back to the Castle. MR

Another Myth Quest Story

2011-03-16T13:50:00.000Z

Many many years ago before the dinoursours were alive there was a half hearted man called Bobovic. He lived in a little castle with his wife Julie. The castle had stained glass windows but the wind whistled round everywhere so his family loved being in the great hall by roaring fire which was being put out. So the king of the castle said Bobovic you’re a good fighter to defeat the monster so you can go so Bobovic went.

The next morning Bobovic got all of his clothes ready to set off on a boat. Later on he was half way there all he needed to do is steer to the first left then he somehow got there in time. Suddenly he heard a big bang! It was the treasure so Bobovic went into a big leathery cave trying to work out where he heard the bang but he heard the bang again and again then a big hairy monster lashed out at him and licked Bobovic to death. He nearly killed Bobovic but Bobovic got the treasure and ran out of the cave screaming with agony and Bobovic shut the cave door and ran all the way back to the castle. MR

Myth Quest Story

2011-03-06T22:01:00.000Z

Hundreds and thousands of years ago, before we lived there was a terrible beast. The people found out that the monster was a meat-eater killing all the villagers. That day the villagers called together a meeting to choose a person to kill the monster and bring back the sword. A girl called Rose was chosen to do it. She wasn’t sure at all if she could do it, but was forced to by the others. So Rose set of to the old harbour where a sailor was trying to sell his boat for a piece of silver. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a dropped piece of silver she picked it up and thought to herself, I should keep this for myself but I have to. She walked to the sailor and immediately he started to tell her about the boat. She gave him the silver and took the boat. She accidentally sailed into a tornado like whirlpool that carried her to a faraway island called Make Male Island. She hurried through all the obstacles until she came to a ring of fierce fire fames dancing in her eyes, she stabbed the monster and suddenly a blinding gold light filled the area the god called Levorinia popped into view. All he said was, here you go, use it well. Then POP! He disappeared into nothing. Now, sitting on Rose’s back, was a huge water tank filled to the top with ice cold water. Suddenly she knew what to do she flicked a rock switch, and a silver streak of freezing water burst out of it. As quick as a flash the fire was put out. She stared in amazement as the ashes revealed a marble pillar on top, a scarlet cushion laden with gold strands and finally a beautiful, goblin made sword rested on top. Suddenly a solid gold fountain full of gold liquid caught her eye. But before she went she picked up the sword that was slightly warmed by the current fire. She waded over to the fountain and forgetting what she was doing, she plunged the sword down into the gold liquid and taking her time, dragged it out again. She watched as a half silver, half gold glow emitted out of it. She stuffed it into her pocket but tore a huge hole into her pocket, so she held it in her hand instead. A week and three days past and rose was back in Mevoria village. Every one was so amazed, and because they didn’t have one, they made her queen. And she was never troubled again. SV

Poetry

2010-12-09T11:50:00.000Z

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!

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

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

Viking Day

2010-03-23T19:46:00.001Z

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

2010-03-23T12:45:00.002Z

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

2010-03-23T12:34:00.002Z

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

2010-03-10T19:45:00.000Z

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

The Lost Teddy

2010-03-08T19:30:00.003Z

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.

When the animal came he bought lots of interesting animals. First we saw a scary, horrifying tarantula! The entire first row stood up the animal man walked slowly down with the tarantula in his hand. The next animal that came out was a snake called Mexican Pete. The animal man kindly put Mexican
Pete on the floor and let him squirm around. After all of that wiggling Mexican Pete decided to take a trip down the first and second aisle. The third animal was a barn owl. He came down the first row and we got to stroke hi white, fluffy chest. Last but not least was a chinchilla. He came down the first and second aisle and said hello to everyone!PA

New Children's Laureate

2009-06-16T18:54:00.002+01:00

Anthony Browne (pictured) has been announced and what he has to say in his acceptance speech fits in well with the INSPIRE workshop we held today.

Picture books are special – they're not like anything else. Sometimes I hear parents encouraging their children to read what they call proper books (books without pictures), at an earlier and earlier age. This makes me sad, as picture books are perfect for sharing, and not just with the youngest children. As a father, I understand the importance of the bond that develops through reading picture books with your child.

2008-11-21T12:37:00.006Z

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

Anti - Bullying Week

2008-11-18T12:33:00.000Z

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

2008-11-11T12:38:00.006Z

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

2008-11-10T12:16:00.012Z

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.

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

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”?

My Lunt Fort Story

2008-10-20T12:29:00.001+01:00

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
