I took a handful of old favourites into school at the start of last week which included The Scarecrow and his Servant,  a great book by Phillip Pullman-author of the Dark Materials Trilogy. Fraser noticed this book in amongst the other’s that i had brought and pleaded with me to choose that one!

I don’t think that the rest of the class are disappointed! They are thoroughly enjoying the twists and turns of the plot and have already done some wonderful Literacy and Artwork based on the first few chapters that we have read together. You can see some of the childrens work displayed in the school hall at the moment.

I hope some of the class will be adding to the class blog and to their own entries to tell you more about our current work soon.

By the way, you may notice a new tab on our class blog. The maths tab is there to give you an overview of the wide ranging mathematical content that years four and five have been covering this year in class.

Our penfriends in Morocco have sent us wonderful letters and craftwork that they’ve made for us which is lovely. I was really excited to hear from their teacher the other day on Instant Messenger that his class had received our replies.

 We are enjoying alsorts of exciting and stimulating work in class at the moment. We are continuing to study a Visual Text in literacy which some of our class bloggers have already referred to -It is a wonderfully evocative film called The Piano.

In science our work on Habitats and Lifecycles was much enhanced by a garden visit when the class went pond dipping and minibeast hunting at Lark Rise (Mrs Stott’s house).

We have had a realy happy busy term and everybody in the class has really worked so hard! Work about Allie’s journey across the ocean from Australia has gone really well. The beautiful Albatross art work in our classroom is wonderful. Come and have a look!

Yesterday when I was at a teachers course, Class 3 were very lucky to work with Mrs Fridholm/ Mrs Clarke who helped the class to make some stunning minibeast mobiles. They are hanging up in Class 3 !

 Today we had an exciting experience when we took our Samba band to Springfields in Spalding to join with about 8 other schools in a Samba abd Singing event organised by SOUNDLINCS and the Lincolnshire Music Service. I was really pleased with the way our children performed. Did you enjoy yourselves?

Tonight we have had discos in school for the younger and older children. Almost all of our class seemed to be at the disco and everyone managed to win a raffle prize too!

Now it’s time for a rest, but don’t forget to keep an eye on the website and comment on anything you think is interesting!

 I went to get the bible so that if it was Hattie, she could swear not to climb the tree house again. I think it was Hattie.

I went to get my boots and then I ran as fast as I could. I fell over a branch that had fallen from the tree. I saw Hattie lying on the ground with blood coming from her neck.  I looked

and saw pieces of wood on the floor on top of Hattie. I moved the broken wood off her. I picked her up and took her inside. I turned and said to the boy BE GONE!!!!BE GONE!!!!

I was really cross to Tom. Then Tom, that boy Tom came to see Hatty!

                           Wednesday

I saw that Hatty was just about to climb the wall so I pulled the Bible out of my pocket and pushed Hatty down on the floor until she was on her hands and knees,

“Hatty swear on the Bible that you will never ever climb that wall” I said. In the end I made Hatty swear, so I put the Bible back in my pocket and I walked away.

                           Thursday

A bright summer’s day, I went out picking the delicious red strawberries putting each one into the trug. Suddenly my world changed into shock horror, I heard a crackle and then Hatty screamed so loud I thought that thunder was going to strike any second. I ran towards the sun dial, I saw Hatty sitting there with a trickle of blood peeping down her forehead and splodges of blood on her apron I went to help her I took her back into the house and I actually saw Tom, “Go away; you’re just a devil from hell. Just leave this place,” I shouted furiously to Tom then I just walked away without another word.

When I finally got there Hatty was on the floor. For a second I thought she was dead! But then I saw her breathing. I quickly prayed to my bible. Then I picked her up and said to the strange boy “You’re a devil child. I’ve seen you! You’re the one that made Hatty fall. Stay away from her!” Then I ran inside with Hatty.
