Have you ever see a lost thing?

They are hard to find!

In year six we have been looking and when you look hard enough you will find what you are looking for!

As part of our diary writing unit we have been watching ‘the lost thing’ (check it out on this link http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=the+lost+thing&FORM=VIRE2#view=detail&mid=FFEDBD668044AD04E87EFFEDBD668044AD04E87E )

After watching we created our own lost things and acted out the day we met them.

Here is our winning video. Hope you enjoy!!!

We have started our drama club and are having lots of fun!

Keep looking out for us, as we will be blogging videos every week!!!

We had a brilliant day out at Sarehole Mill, travelling back in time to the Stone age, Bronze age and the Iron age.

We used clay (animal poo), water and hay to bind our sticks together to build our shelter!

We even got the chance to dig for Stone age artifacts!

When Chris Van Allsburg was invited to the home of Peter Wenders, he discovered fourteen drawings that were, like pieces of a picture puzzle, clues to larger pictures. But the puzzles, the mysteries, presented by these drawings, are not what we are used to. They are not solved for us, as in the final pages of a book or a film’s last reel. The solutions to these mysteries lie in a place at once closer to hand, yet far more remote. They lie in our imagination!

Will Humman and Janaynah solve the mystery? We will keep you updated…

Today, all of Year Two went to the wonderful Cadbury World in Bournville. We went there to find out more about John Cadbury as part of our Famous People in Birmingham’s History topic. We had an absolutely amazing time! We went on an awesome African adventure in the play area, shrieked with delight in the fantastic 4D cinema, gazed in awe at the magnificent manufacturing plant and covered our faces in delicious, creamy chocolate. We discovered more about John Cadbury’s life-long campaigns against child labour, animal cruelty and alcohol abuse, found out that the first cocoa beans were unearthed by Mayan Indians and learnt bout the growth of the Bournville village, a stark contrast to the Birmingham back to backs. Also, we were given lots of free Cadbury’s chocolate to tease our friends and families with… Mmmm…

After a truly world class English lesson, the children were desperate for a break-time picture…

We had a thoroughly enjoyable day in Year Two celebrating the wondrous and whimsical works of Roald Dahl! For one day only, our classrooms were absolutely full with witches, mad men, oompa loompas and animals! We dressed up as some of our favourite fantastical characters from Roald Dahl’s books, listened to some of his amazing stories and then had the opportunity to create some of our very own Roald Dahl-esque characters. We cut up the faces of various animals, people and ‘things’, moved eyes, shuffled mouths, budged noses and shifted ears, and then stuck everything down to create some truly scary, disgusting and fascinating beings! There were animals with owl’s eyes, elephant trunks, lion’s teeth and bunny ears! Following our brilliant artwork, we embraced our inner Roald Dahls and wrote some excellent character descriptions. We focused on including fantastic adjectives and exciting verbs. We hope you enjoy looking at our photographs!

Today, Year 4 have been using their imaginations, working as a team and creating some fantastic artwork in the process. After our trip to the Snowdome last week we started thinking about how people use mountains. What sort of activities take place? Do people live and work on mountains? This all culminated in Year 4 planning and creating their very own ski resorts! We made swimming pools, hospitals, hotels, roads and much more. Finally, we sorted these into human and physical features.
