A HUGE well done to Lucy, Imogen and Kate for their upcycling project. Converting some unwanted polystyrene into a puppet theatre! Not only that but they wrote a fantastic story to go with it!

Have a go at writing an ‘if, if, if, then’ sentence in a post about the picture below, well done to Lucy for winning last weeks challenge with De;de sentences! I wonder who will take home the trophy this time?

Mr Lyons

We will be looking at a new type of super sentence this week, and it will make extra good use of all of our work we have recently completed on colons!

This week’s challenge has 3 steps (Use the picture above to help if needed):

1) Convert the following sentence into a de:de sentence by adding on the extra information.

Craig has always been a great friend:

2) Write a de:de sentence of your own about anyone, or anything!

3) Turn yourself into a teacher by teaching someone at home how to write a de:de sentence. Then, when you think they are as brilliant at using them in their writing as your are. Write down their example of a de:de sentence.

Have fun! I can’t wait to see all of your ideas!

Mr Lyons

Wow, well what a jam packed day we had for World Book Day! We transformed our classroom into Hogwarts, finding out which house the sorting hat had decided we were in, making potions, having a negative number cauldron lesson with Professor Snape and used chalk to create spooky pictures of Hogwarts at night. We hoped to play Quidditch at the end of the day, but we simply ran out of time!

However, we managed to squeeze a few games in during P.E and golden time the next day. I want to know though, which was your favourite part of the day?

Mr Lyons

We had lots of fun travelling through a range of Roald Dahl books, using our imaginations to meet many different characters and improving our ball skills, balancing skills and awareness when moving to each new land. It was tricky but lots of fun! Which skill was your favourite? Have you practiced any at home?

Part of our Maths lesson today is to have a go at playing alien angles. You need to apply your understanding of angles to estimate the sizes to save the aliens! Click on the alien to play the game.

After our super sentences work on Thursday, I wonder who can write an -EDINGLY opener sentence for each of the pictures?
