We received a letter from the  Federation informing us that our pupil’s  art work was of such a high standard that they had won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the National Art Competition! We were absolutley delighted!

For the last few weeks of term, P5 will be participating in literacy tasks all about ‘Mr Stink’ by David Walliams. The children were asked to choose a popular children’s novel and the majority of the class chose this one. We are looking forward to watching the film and being involved in lots of different literacy and art tasks.

P4 Super School Kid Rap!

Video 2 Comments

P4 have been learning poems, our favourite is the school kid rap! This poem has repetition,  rhyme, rhythm and onomatopoeia.

These are the lyrics:

THE SCHOOL KID RAP

Miss was at the black board writing with the chalk.                                         When suddenly she stopped in the middle of her talk.        She snapped her fingers snap! snap! snap!                                                     Pay attention children and I’ll teach you how to rap.                                       She picked up a pencil,  she started to tap

All together children, now clap! clap! clap!                                                       Just get the rhythm, just get the beat                                                                Drum it with your fingers, stamp it with your feet                                             That’s right children, keep in time.                                                                         Now we got the rhythm, all we need is the rhyme

This school is cool, Miss Grace is ace.                                                                   Strut your stuff with a smile on your face                                                        Snap those fingers, tap those toes,                                                                        Do it like they do it in the video shows                                                             Flap it,  snap it, clap, snap, clap,                                                                                Let’s all do the school  kid rap!!!!!!!!!!
