For National Poetry Day P6 studied the poem The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. We planned it out on Tuesday and wrote it on Thursday. Linda Ketchion won Star of the Week for her amazing writing.
We interviewed some pupils:
“I was interested and excited about The Highwayman,” Rachel McPhillips.
“I was overwhelmed by how sad the poem was,” Lachlan Drennan.

In class we are writing a Christmas story for the nursery children .The story is about an unexpected visitor who tries to ruin Christmas. It is split into different sections. We had to also make a door and our character which we made out of different materials. Although this story is challenging to write it is lots fun.

“I found it tricky because I am not used to it.” Johnathan Noer.
“I found easier because my dad learnt German when he was little so I sometimes hear some of the words.” Ceana Gray.
