This week we were looking at bonfire poems and wrote our own:

I can see flames.

They are swirling and twirling.

They are red, orange and golden yellow.

They are smokey and spitting.

Have a go at your own poem;

I can see flames

They are…

They are…

They are…

We recorded our own bonfire sound effect and posted it on to our radiowaves site.

For the past couple of weeks we have been looking at traditional tales. We have been writing our own versions of Cinderella. Last week we created a multimodal story of Cinderella. Unfortunately the sounds we recorded have not uploaded.

Harvey has wrote the rest for our Cinderella story. Have a little read for yourselves;

the stepmother cleaned and cleaned all day long, she began to get very sleepy. she sat down to have a little rest just as cinderella walked in, “what are you doing how dare you sit down, have you got my clothes ready for the ball yet?” “am so so sorry cinderella i will do it right away” said the very tired stepmother. it wasnt long before cinderella was dancing away at the ball, back at the house the stepmother was crying her eyes out then suddenly a flash of light came, it was her fairy godmother and she told the stepmother she could go to the ball and made her the most beautiful girl in the land. the stepmother was really happy and had lots of fun at the ball, the clock soon struck 12 and the stepmother changed back into her rags and lost her glass slipper.The prince knocked on cinderella’s door the stepmother opened the door and took the glass slipper and placed it on her foot, the prince seen that it fitted her and they got married straight away and lived happily ever after.
THE END.

This week we have been writing our own versions of Cinderella. We have swaped the roles of Cinderella and the Stepmother.

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful and kind Stepmother and an ugly and mean girl called Cinderella. “Scrub that floor until I can see my face in it” the mean Cinderella would shout.

Can you carry on the story? Post it as a comment and we’ll read it out in class.

All last week we have been looking at Cinderella and studying the characters in the story. We have enjoyed all the role play of the characters. On Friday we wrote some dialogue to for Cinderella, her stepmother and sisters.

William Newton ‘I wish she could stay for she was so beautiful and charming’ (Prince)

Louise ‘Get scrubbing the floor Cinderella or I will make you do more’. (Stepmother)

Laura ‘Cinderella is so mean she is so scruffy and smelly’. (Stepsister)

Mia ‘Oh I wish they would do the work I wish I could go to the ball’. (Cinderella)

Emily T ‘Tidy the floor now until it is sparkly’. (stepmother)

Harvey ‘I’m so beautiful the prince will want to marry me’. (Stepsister)

Jack ‘Ha you’re not coming to the ball’ (stepsister)

Thomas ‘A ball at the palace, how beautiful’. (Stepsister)

Katie ‘Scrub the floor until it is sparkly like diamonds. You’re not going to the ball you’re too busy’. (Stepmother).

Ethan ‘Scrub, scrub and dress us it’s the big day!’ (stepmother)

Molly ‘Do your work immediately, you’re not going to the ball’. (stepsister)

James ‘No, no, no you are stayinh here!’ (Stepmother)

Nicole ‘You do all the work now and start right away Cinder and don’t play with your cat’. (Stepmother)

Max ‘I wish I could go to the ball’ (Cinderella)

Owen ‘Scrub the floor Cinderella and you can not go to the ball’ (Stepmother)

Jamie ‘Why can’t they scrub the floor?’ (Cinderella)

This week we have been writing our own information texts all about the body. They were all so fab I decided to show a little preview of them. They will be on display for our parents evening.

Since we have come back from the holidays we just love reading Roald Dahl books. So far we have read the twits and we have started to read Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I think most of the children have taken a Roald Dahl book home to read aswell. Vote for your favourite Roald Dahl book on our democracy poll.

Today we started to write a story about losing a favourite toy after looking at ‘Dogger’. Have a go at carrying on the story at home.

Dave looked really upset. He had lost his favourite toy and was feeling really sad…….

Donkeys stamping,

Dolphins diving,

Sharks snapping,

Crabs clicking,

Fish dipping,

Waves crashing,

Children screeching,

Dogs barking,

Shells rustling,

Sand moving,

Seaguls gliding,

Starfish sticking.

Lewis Hamilton wrote this fantastic poem at home. What do you think of it?

Have a listen to some of the poems we have been making all about the seaside. (Click the link below)

This week we have been looking at different seaside poems with patterns. We have been acting them out and putting actions with them. We wrote the next stanza for a poem.

The sea can be loud
The sea can crashing
The sea can be sprakly
The sea be lashing

Can you write another stanza for our poem? Remember to make lines 2 and 4 ryhme!
