Year 5 - Poets

During the past two weeks in English, Year 5 have been looking at poetry by Pie Corbett. The class were set the task of writing a poem in the style of Pie and what a fantastic job they did!

Here is part of Owen Lawrence's work:

Imagine-

a tree elegantly dancing with the wind,

if you peer through the gaps in the leaves you might be able to catch a glimpse of the 100 year old squirrel dancing in the trees,

a tree swaying side to side like it is cheering someone on in a race.

Imagine-

collecting up a cloud

and drinking it like some fizzy pop,

wrapping up the moon and eating it for lunch,

riding a meteor drifting into outer space.

Here is part of Brodie Storer's work:

Imagine-

a gleam of the sun tightly trapped in a box,

a rainbow's colour being sucked away,

an angry ant growing as big as a tree,

a daisy being used as an umbrella as you see.

Imagine-

a tree slowly dancing in the wind and doing ballet,

the ocean pretending to call his friends to play,

a bouncy castle shouting "please don't bounce on me"

and a penguin being told he can fly.

Year 5 definitely have some poets in the making!'

F1 - Stick Families Bound With Love!

F1 - Stick Families Bound With Love!

This week we have been looking at our families and how each family is different. Some of us have brothers, some have sisters and some have none at all! We looked at photos of our family and talked about who they were. Some of us introduced our grandparents too.

We read the story of Stick Man who lived with his Stick Lady Love and their Stick Children three, and decided to go on our Tree-mendous Tuesday adventure in the woods, and find our own stick family. Delilah needed six sticks because she has her Mummy, Daddy, Cassius and herself but she couldn’t forget Doodle the dog and Hammie the hamster! Jack found a ‘big’ stick and that was his daddy. We talked about the different sizes of the sticks and who was bigger and who was smaller in their family. Then we wrapped them up in an elastic band because our family is bound together too, but with love!

During our walk lots of other things caught our attention - well what is new?! Kayden said he could see Skegness Stadium in the distance. He said that it is ‘far, far away.’ But don’t worry, we can follow his dad’s car to get there! We spotted lots of ladybirds and Dylan and Jayden picked one up very carefully. Lexi-Jay spotted a bird’s nest in the trees and Halle saw a black butterfly.

We were fascinated by the mole hills we found on our school field, especially Jack, who would have liked to say hello to a friendly mole and we also found lots of nuts that Little Squirrel Nutkin hadn’t hidden very well! Annalise tried to stand on Miss Frisby’s shadow and Halle found a magpie’s feather. The most exciting thing we saw was the farmer’s blue tractor ploughing the fields, much to Henri’s and Rylee’s delight! Mrs Bacon treated us to strawberry milk and cookies as we sat in the farmer’s field chatting to our friends about all the things we had seen. It’s lovely to listen to their little conversations. I wonder what next week will bring?!
