POETRY IN CLASS

We listened to the poem "I asked the little boy who cannot see." (Anon) and worked in groups to write our own versions.

Megan, Shannon, Ellie, Katie, Max and Catherine

I asked a little boy who cannot see
"And what is colour like?"
"Why pink", said he, "is like warmth
all cuddly and soft; yellow is
as soft as a bird's feather
Silver is hard and firm like a sword of iron
Blue is a calm afternoon; orange is
a blazing fire; black is a beehive all sticky and round
White is a cloud."

Charlie, Tamara, James, Billy and Harvey

I asked the little boy who cannot see
"And what is colour like?"
"Why green", said he, "is like the smell of freshly cut green grass
on a summer's day, icy snow
that is blue; and red is like a hot oven
when the door is opened; pink tastes like a peach,
purple feels like a squashed blackberry
yellow feels like smooth liquid suncream
and white is like cotton wool."

Beth, Cameron, Matthew, Jade, Hannah and Elizabeth

I asked the little boy who cannot see
"And what is colour like?"
"Why orange" , said he, "is like the air
on a warm summer's day; and violet is pain, fear and anger;
green is the smell of mint,
black is emptiness with no way out;
why, the taste of cherry tomatoes, that is red."

Finn, Phoebe, Maisie, Robert, Esther and John

I asked the little boy who cannot see
"And what is colour like?"
"Why green", said he, "is the freshness of summer
yellow is bouncy and tastes of cheefulness;
black is an empty darkness which brings out the feeling of sorrow; love is red and food for your heart;
cold is purple, like a thundery storm
white is the dove that will take us to heaven;
blind are these eyes which cannot see."

Jessica, Natasha, Edward, Marcus and Alice

I asked the little boy who cannot see,
"And what is colour like?"
"Why red", said he "is like a fire burning through logs
Blue is a gentle stream running down the hill
Yellow is like a daffodil swaying in the breeze
Freshly cut grass in summer is green
White is a floating cloud
Purple is a dog barking
Pink is a comfy cushion."

Ella, Emma, Grace, Simon and William

We listened to the poem "I asked the little boy who cannot see" (Anon) and wrote our own versions:-
I asked the little boy who cannot see,
"And what is colour like?"
"Why yellow", said he, " is ike a fresh spring morning
warming up; red is
an evil devil, the chief of hell; orange,
a warm fire in the middle of winter;
a fresh start is white; green is my best
friend, playing by the river;
pink is a soft teddy taking fears away."

Showing assembly

We take it in turns to lead our Friday afternoon assembly. This is a chance to share what we have been doing with the rest of the school.

Bringing the Universe down to size

We used toilet rolls to illustrate the vastness of the universe. It took almost two rolls to scale the universe down 3 000 000 times!! Almost too big to imagine.

Design Technology

The children have been busily designing and making biscuits with Mrs Neate-Clegg. Mmmmmmmade to make your mouth water

Working with the Weather

We worked with John Allen, a consultant, as part of the Primary Science Network Strategy. We made anemometers in a propeller style and cup style. We will be connecting these to a data logger in the Spring term and recording the wind over a period of time. Look out for our results!!

Victorian Day In School

We experienced a day in the life of a Victorian school child.

Trafalgar Day

We decorated T shirts at Leeson House and wore them on Trafalgar day.
