In the box...

In English we have been studying poetry.  We looked at a poem by Kit Write called ‘In the box’. We worked together to write a class poem.

Here is our class poem.

I will put into the box…

 An ocean that calmly crashes against soft, silky sand.

The rushing wind sweeping and pounding in the tree tops.

A golden eagle softly swooping to catch its prey.

I will put into the box…

The taste of rich, dark silky chocolate.

Memories from long, lost years.

The love of 100 mothers.

Check back for some of our own ‘In the box’ inspired poetry. 

The first three weeks....

I am really pleased to have joined Great Gaddesden School and would like to thank everyone for their good wishes and kindness.

We have started the year studying the Stone Age in History. Year 3-4 recreated a cave with hand stencils and drawings of animals which now proudly hangs in the book corner of the class.

The photographs show us putting painting using fingers, feathers and sticks as the cave men would have done.

It is always a pleasure when a pupil goes home and carries on their learning. Below is an expressive piece by Hattie Wilkinson about the sounds in her house. Well done Hattie!

Our topic of Rocks and Soils seems to have captured some children’s imagination.  Andrew went home and made his own volcano. Great work Andrew!
