Trip to Rush Library

On Monday 17 of October we went to the Rush Library to learn about the Titanic. An author taught us about it. Her name was Nicola Pearse. She wrote a book called ‘The Spirit of the Titanic’. She taught us about the crew and passengers. She showed us pictures of the Titanic and crew and the people who made the ship. There were pictures of the captains of the Titanic and Carpathia. It was really fun.

Poetry

Halloween night

All my friends are dressed up right

Loom of the moon, shimmering down

Lots of clowns, with their disturbing frowns

Out in the night, trick or treating

Werewolf’s howling, witches creaking

Eating sweets all night long

Enjoying singing Halloween songs

Not so scared in the night

Not so bothered by the fright

In the day so excited

Getting ready to be frightend

Howling of the spooky castle “BOO”

The night goes on, hope the monsters get “YOU”

By:DAYNA

 Horrid Halloween

 Amazing costumes

Lots of frights

Listen to the howls

Obviously scary

Wickedly cool

Encountering hazards

Eating sweets

Nice and horrid

Night time

Inky rain

Great fun

House full of fireworks

Time of your life

By CONOR F.

 Halloween   night

A   ghost ran past me

Loud noises around me

Little kids knocking on doors

October the night of fun

Witches everywhere 

Everyone laughing

Everyone having fun

Neighbours having fun

Now it’s nearly over

I see a witch

Go and say 

Happy Halloween

Then I had to go home.

By  Megan

Halloween Night

Always is so fun

Lots of sweets

Lots of scary people

October is the night of spook

Worlds collide HELL and Earth

Everyone is out

Eating sweets all night long

None of us are scared

Night is when we all come out

I got lots of sweets

Good costumes everywhere

Happy Halloween

Halloween night can give you a fright

After school I saw a witch take flight

Licking lots of lollypops

Looking at fireworks all night long

October is the month of Halloween

Windows broken monsters break in

Everyone is looking scary

Everyone is eating sweets

Night is scary on Halloween night.

By Aaron

Halloween night

All are on the street at night

Licking sweets

Lighting up fireworks

October the night of fun

We all have sweets

Everyone is dressed up

Everyone is eating sweets

Night and day

Nobody is hurt

It’s nice to share

Giving people scare

Having lots of sweets

Tonight everyone’s out on Halloween night.

Harvesting and Tasting

On Monday we went out to the school garden to look at all the vegetables the children had grown over the past year. Mary showed us all the vegetables and we discussed the different parts of the plants that we eat.  With carrots we eat the root of the plant, cabbage we eat the leaves of the plant and broccoli we eat the flowers of the plant.

We then got the chance to taste the vegetables. They were cooked in various ways. We tasted carrot and coriander soup, turnip puree,stir-fired white cabbage and rosemary roasted potatoes. All the recipes are on the cookery blog for us to try at home!

Tour Report

 Kayla took a notebook with her on the school tour. She wrote down the things we did. Here is her report.

Sun Flowers by Van Gogh

We looked at Van Gogh's painting 'Sunflowers'. We used it as inspiration to paint our own sunflower pictures.
