| This week in SPaG we were looking at contractions. A contraction is two words shortened into one using an apostrophe. We learnt that there had been a terrible accident and we needed to turn into surgeons to fix the broken contractions. The children quickly set to work with their masks on and had to think carefully about which letters to remove from the words. We heard our patients heartbeating in the background which made us work at a good pace to ensure we saved them! | |

Today some of our class decided to make a surprise visit to Y6. We performed some poetry for them to listen to, as we have heard so much about all the hardworking Y6 themselves put into learning poems off by heart. Our poem is linked to our Literacy and History topic on the Egyptians and is called Melvin the Mummy by Kenn Nesbit. We performed it so well, Y6 and Mrs Matthews were all really impressed!  Melvin the Mummy
Melvin the mummy, who lived near the Nile, had worked as a mummy for more than a while, for mummies can go their entire careers without a vacation for thousands of years. He guarded the pyramids day after day to frighten the burglars and bandits away, which meant, as he stood watching over the pharaohs, he often got shot at with bullets and arrows. His job was so stressful, the pay was so poor, but, still, Melvin stayed and protected the door. Until he got sick of his sad situation and knew that he needed to take a vacation. His crypt was so dark and so cold and so clammy, he packed up his swimsuit and flew to Miami. He thought he would stay there for just a few days, enjoying the beach and absorbing some rays. But, sadly, poor Melvin would never return, and this is a lesson all mummies should learn: Don’t take any trips or, like Melvin, you’ll find vacations make mummies relax and unwind. Kenn Nesbitt Today was Mrs Matthews' Reading Raffle assembly - there are many books to win, if you read 5 times a week! Our Y3 winner was very pleased with his choice. Year 3 & 4 enjoyed an exciting, fun packed day at Trinity Park last Thursday. The aim of the visit was to look at the role of farming and how food then gets to our table. We were lucky enough to watch sheep shearing, sheepdog display and taste some foods including prawns, sausages, pea snaps and strawberries! We got to ask lots of questions, especially when we visited the air ambulance and police. The character Flat Stanley came along for the trip as well! See if you can spot him in the pictures! Well done Year 3 for being super sensible on this warm day. |
