Federation Day

This week, our federation all came together for a day devoted to learning about Malawi and what life is like for children there. KS2 learnt about the boy who harnessed the wind: William Kamkwamba. The children then build and tested an anemometer to see where the best place to place a wind turbine in our school.

Collaborative poem

Year 5 have been studying the poem, "The Magic Box," by Kit Wright this week and have collaborated to make their own year 5 version. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Our Magic Box

We will put in our box

The sway of a tree in the autumn morning, 

Fire from the wings of a peregrine falcon, 

A tip of a pen touching a birthday card.

We will put in our box

The sway of a satin scarf at a summer ball

The blue fire of a water dragon, 

The feel of an ice cream on my tongue

We will put in our box

A snowman with its missing nose

A sip of the cleanest tap water

A leaping lion liberating his lunch

My box is fashioned from silvers, golds and diamonds

With stars on the rim and secrets in the hinges

Its hinges are the edge of the universe

I shall run in my box on the golden sand of the Sahara Desert

Then skip on the high-rolling emerald hills.

Viking artwork

This week in Panthers class, we have been creating Viking inspired artwork. The children have been taking Viking symbols and layering them up on their piece of artwork. Once their projects are finished, I will put photos on our blog.
