It was lovely to see everyone back for the start of Term 2 and to hear about holiday adventures both near and far!<\/p>\n

This week some of the learning that P4\/5 have been involved in has included creating an atmospheric, moonlit sky for a spooky Halloween painting, creating a plan for a story about ‘staying out’ on Halloween night and starting our opening paragraph and in Maths, working with change.<\/p>\n

It was very amusing to see some of these activities being carried out in Halloween costumes for our dress-up day!<\/p>\n

We’ve also had a change of seating arrangements in the class so we’ve got new friends to work alongside.<\/p>\n

Opening sentences for Ollie’s ‘Staying Out’ story…<\/p>\n

On Halloween Bobby and Miller go camping in the street.\u00a0 They set down the tent on the grass next to a path.\u00a0 The grass was wet, soft and damp but they paused.\u00a0 They heard a noise, a loud noise.\u00a0 It came closer and closer AND closer.<\/p>\n

Opening sentences for Alex’s ‘Staying Out’ story…<\/p>\n

It was Halloween and Jeremy and Bob went camping in the forest.\u00a0 It was a misty and cold night and it was hard to see.\u00a0 All they had was a small tent, a torch, beans, firewood and matches.\u00a0 They were sitting next to the fire when suddenly it went out.<\/p>\n
