In English we have been doing some learning on journalism and newspaper reports / articles we have re-read the book 📖 Voices In The Park which looks at one story from different points of view. We also read a complaint about some of the events that happened in the Park where 2 children we’re noisily playing in the playground.

Projects, by Mrs McLennan
Date: 1st Feb 2019 @ 4:54pm
A few pictures of our projects. Mrs Cowburn and I have been really impressed with your creative designs and look forward to seeing more designing next week when we design our musical instruments. I wonder if all our science work will help us when we think what materials to use. On that note, next week, if you have any empty boxes or containers, please do bring them into school as we might use them as part of the instrument’s structure.
Designing a new cereal box, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 1st Feb 2019 @ 4:05pm
The children have really been enjoying our story this week There’s a lion in my cornflakes and it was voted our favourite story of the the 3 we have read so far. This week we written our own versions with free sea creatures instead and alll sort of things going wrong! The children had fun creating their own cereal boxes today , writing what sea creature was free, the name of the cereal and trying to use lots of adjectives. They look great! They will be coming home next week with a copy of the story in it.
A big thank you to Bobbys mum who has recycled old sweat shirts and PE tops to make a lovely blanket for us in our reading area. We love it!
