We do art first and we are doing pop art I liked when I had to draw a word and colour it. I did Boo!  This week we were making pop art portraits.

In drama we were learning about Theseus and the Minotaur – we had to news interviews and perform it.

There were two boys called Billy and Rob. They wanted to join the army to help their town.  Rob ended up at the front. Billy was moved into the communications engineers (like a technician). His job was to fix wires so that officers can get in touch with the front lines.

Life in the Trenches:

Billy was shocked by life in the trenches because the mud was sloppy and water rose up when it rained. Soldiers were drenched, covered in lice and mud. Sand bags were used to keep the walls up and Duckboards (wooden planks) were placed in the bottom of the trench.

In dug outs officers had shelter to sleep and write out orders.

I think it sounds horrendous!

we are reading about WW1  Germans went in to Belgium so we whet to war and 1000 of men and women died in the war and children where fighting for there contrary

 

We had a toad in the hall on Friday – not an actual toad but Toad the storyteller.

We met Toad last November at the Crichton when he told us myths about the Totem Latamat.

On Friday, he told us stories about giants, rabbits and trolls. Some of the stories were funny, others were meant to be scary. We joined in the stories by opening imaginary boxes hidden in caves in tunnels.

Toad used a tambour and a finger piano for sound effects like footsteps and for changing the pace of the story – he beat faster for running and slower for walking.

We went outside and used numbers ti collect ideas for our stories. 5 crows watching from the sky. 3 powerlines giving us electricity. Then we made story landscapes which popped up.

My story has a path which has a sign which you choose death or whether to live.

Kye’s story has cottage in the woods an inside has a vampire.

Kye enjoyed the day, I felt that the stories were good but the afternoon needed to faster to hold our interest.
