Stocksbridge Junior School

This week we have started looking at poetry and our very first literacy lesson was with Miss W in the ICT suite.  We looked at a poem called Bug Chant and had to record it using Audacity.  I was in a group with Jack and Callum from yellow group and Katie from red group.  We split up the verses and practised a few times to check we knew who was reading what. 

Have a listen to our very first recording.  Next time, I think we need to ask everyone in the background to be very quiet!

I had great fun recording my voice even though I sound wierd!  I’m looking forward to writing my own verses for Bug Chant next week.

On Friday 30th November Miss F, one of our dinnerladies, is retiring. Miss F has been very kind and helpful during the yearsshe’s been a dinnerlady here.  She would open your yogarts, chocolate bars and bananas, she’d clean up your spills, and look after you on the playground.  We’ll miss her lots!

In Year 3, we’ve been learning lots of facts about the Romans: 

The romans built a very long wall to stop the celts from attacking their Land. The celts were the Romans enimes. The Romans came from a city called Rome. The Celts didn’t like the Romans because they were taking over where the Celts lived and it wasn’t fair. The Romans built a wall to keep the Celts away.

Our class Y4S have been learning about newspaper reports.  We have learned where things go and how to write a newspaper report.  In ICT we wrote a report about Cinderella running away from the ball.  My headline says ‘Mystery Beauty leaves Prince Heartbroken’.  We have also been making a newspaper ourselves by using word art to make the title, and coloumns fo the report.  We also inserted a picture.

In my art lessons I have been making an designing  patterns of animals and there different types of of stripes and what they have on there body, what their skin is like. Art is my favourite lesson when we are in our literacy lessons, but in my maths set my favourite lesson is maths. The other day we made patterns using paints to design our pattern we made in our book the day before. But before we did any of that we had design our pattern pressing on gently and then we covered it in paint using a roller brush and then pressed hard on a material. The colurs we had a joice of using were green, red, yellow and black.

Last half term we did a school performance for Harvest about how to save the world.  Each class had a different part and our class, y5f, did a short poem about the world. Other classes did short plays or songs.  Now we think about how to look after the world more often now.
