The Year 6 children are having an exciting time writing spooky stories based on the The Highwayman - a narrative poem by Alfred Noyes. At first, the children developed their use of language through creating spooky imagery in poetry. They have built on this to write a range of story openers to grab the their reader's attention and have chosen the best ones to write their own narratives based on the Highwayman. The children have also written about our own in-class ghost, "The Phantom Pen Theif". Have you seen this mysterious spectre?

This week we are learning about Healthy and Unhealthy food. We are focusing on the story of Oliver's Vegetables. The children have been learning about days of the week and we have been ordering the story. Well done year 1

We concluded our water investigation today. We took the trays out of the freezer and discovered the water had frozen. We felt the ice and described what it felt like and discussed how it had changed. We watched to see what happened to the ice when we left it out in the classroom and put it in the water. It melted! We had a wonderful time being super scientists!
