Earthquake !

After looking at the blog from the children in Dawson we talked about what would happen if there was an earthquake in Bedord. Some children had family in Pakistan who had suffered from an earthquake before. We practise the drill that we watched on the blog.

Mrs Porter has been poorly !

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?
