Our teacher, Mrs Porter, was poorly last week, but we were very lucky to have Miss Lyons to help us with our learning. In our maths lessons we tried lots of activities with patterns and sequences. Moses and Marley were very good at it.
I put a pattern with cubes and my friend had to copy me- Marley
We have also been writing poems. This is our poem about 'The Sound Collector'. It is based on the poem by Roger McGough.
The Sound Collector
His poem is about sounds taken from the home, but we wrote about sounds taken from school -
The elephants walked round school today, as silently as can be.
They put these sounds into a bag and described them for me……
The whooshing of the dryer
The talk of Mr Leach
The coughing Mrs Mac and the stamping of the feet.
The rattle of the shutter
The crashing of the lids
The screaming and the shouting of the Academy kids
The squeaking of the gate
The crunching of the leaves
The ‘neeeaw’ of the aeroplane flying past the trees.
Do you have similar sounds at your school?
We have been looking at buildings and homes in our History project. We also wanted to write a recount in our literacy. We went on a building treasure hunt around Queen's Park in Bedford.
We saw a Sikh gurdwara, a mosque and a church.This is All Saints' church.
