Month: March 2019

This week, we have been writing poems about characters that we have made up! We have been thinking hard about what the characters might say, and we have been learning about how we can use similes to describe our characters.

Some of the characters that we made up were…
Baboon, who says, “you’re a buffoon!” (Harris)
Wicky the Witch, who says, “Get my cauldron!” (Aisha)
Loud Octopus, who says, “I love snapping and cracking wood!” (Zara)
Andy Curry, who says, ” Get my curry!” (Ross)
Sunshine, who says, “Do you need help?” (Ella)

Some of our favourite similes are…
As rich as Lionel Messi (Cameron)
As loud as an elephant (Myra)
As kind as a nurse (Charlotte)
As gross as slime (Lucy)
As cheeky as a monkey (Edward)
As sweet as sugar (Rosie)

P3A really enjoyed Book Day on Thursday.

We went to the Book Nook where we read our favourite books. I brought in a book about World War 11.   ( Luca Fi)

I enjoyed the Book Nook. I read a book called Horrid Henry’s Stink Bomb.          ( Luca Fr)

I liked the Book Nook because it is really cosy and it was a relaxing place to read my book. I read Gangsta Granny. (Harry)

The book Nook had bean bags and a comfy couch. We really enjoyed reading there. (Kyle)

I enjoyed the Book Nook especially sitting on the sofa and reading Dark Diaries Puppy Love    (Emilia)

I like David Walliam books and Diaries of a Wimpy Kid because they are both like comics. Ayyan

I went to Brownies with Isla to meet the author Ross McKenzie and get a book signed by him.    (Beth)

Me and my friend met an author called Ross McKenzie. He wrote a book called The Nowhere Emporium. The book is about a shop that has never been there before!    (Isla)

 

Yesterday, we celebrated World Book Day. We listened to a lot of different short stories and we made finger puppets to create our own stories with. We had a surprise visitor (Mrs McKim!) who read a story to us and we visited the P7 classes to read some books together. Jenny read The BFG with her reading buddy, Habiba read Winnie Flies Again, Mac read Captain Underpants and Ella read Lilo and Stitch. We’re looking forward to visiting the book nook later today.

Edward said, “There were lots of tricky words but I gave it my best go.”

Zara said, “On World Book Day, I was very excited!”

Lucy said, “I wish World Book Day would happen again!”

We’re looking forward to next year’s celebrations.

 

We have had another very busy week!

• In outdoor PE we were doing different outdoor games, one of them was similar to netball but you are not allowed to run with the ball, you must pass it where you are (Sam). During indoor PE, we have been taking a note of our fitness scores. Our scores are improving as we are getting fitter (Nathan).
