Egyptian Art

The children looked at creating repeated patterns.  We used hieroglyphics and repeated the same pattern.  The children then put these onto their own death masks.

Design and Technology

In Class 7 we created our own tombs.  We worked together as a group to design and create our own Egyptian Tombs.  We then created detailed setting descriptions based on our designs. We also created characters that would appear within our stories. We put these in our gallery of characters and created some sentences to describe them.

One bright sunny day a family went to the hot beach.  It was a relaxing and peaceful day.  They had a son called Harrison he was ten year old.  Harrison was exploring the beach when suddenly he saw a crab.  Carefully Harrison picked up the crab and held it up to his magnifying glass and had a closer look at the hermit crab.

Harrison found another crab which was yellow, black and orange he had no time time to run away because a wave was right behind him. Suddenly the wave crashed on top of him then his bucket and spade had disappeared into the sea.

One bright summers morning when there was not a single cloud in the sky, the Johnstone family went to Golden Sands beach for the day. They have a son called Clyde. Clyde has bright blue eyes like sapphires, glistening in the sun. He got his brand new magnifying glass out and inspected a hermt crab. In the distance you could see the sand castle that Clyde had made. He'd gone off to find another crab by the sea. Suddenly a huge wave pushed Clyde over with all his things that he had collected racing about in the ocean.

A few moments later, Clyde bobbed up and down, and swam back to shore. All of Clyde's things slowly washed up to shore. Wet through, Clyde went to grab his stuff from the wet,soggy sand. Clyde saw something. It looked like a patch of water that wouldn't sink into the sand. He ran and ran, until he reached the object. The object was turquoise with an octopus on the front of it and was covered in barnicles. Clyde read some words on it which said 'Underwater Camera'. This camera was an old camera, so it had film in it.

Several moments later, Clyde ran up the beach as fast as possible to get the photos developed on the film. Clyde could feel the gritty tarmac touch his feet on the road. As he reached the photo shop, he sat down on the bench to rest his legs for a few minutes.

Those minutes passed and Clyde went into the shop. First Clyde brought a new film. He waited at the counter a few minutes but the lady did not notice him. as she was too busy talking on the phone. He went back outside and waited on the bench, looking at the lady until she got off the phone.

Finally an hour later the lady got off the phone. Clyde got the pictures and put the new film in. He ran back to the beach, before his mum and dad noticed that he'd gone. When Clyde got to the beach he looked at the photos. He could not believe his eyes, the photos were slo shocking, they were more shocking than an electric shock! Clyde looked at one of the photos. It was very weird. There was a clock work fish swimming with a school of fish.

Excited clyde looked at another photo. He couldn't wait to see the other photos. The other photos were very interesting. It was like an underwater living room. There was a mother octopus and a father octopus, plus three baby octopusses.

In Class 7 we are still looking at enhancing our writing and Mrs Heeley is super impressed with the work that all the class are doing.  We have begun to look at complex and compound sentences in Year 3 and the children have created some great pieces of writing.  Here are a few examples of some of the children's writing.

Free Fall

One night a boy called Zek fell asleep whilst reading a book but it wasn't an ordinary book.  His pale green duvet turned into fields and his head board turned into big mountains.

Suddenly he appeared in a forest with a golden shield in one hand and a sword in the other.  A dragin was slithering behind him.

Free Fall

In a peaceful city on a quiet street there lived a boy.  Dreaming the boy in the light blue pyjamas drifted off into a deep sleep.  His white fluffy pillows turned into beautiful clouds.  His duvet turned into fresh cut green grass and his headboard turned into the snowy white mountains.

All of a sudden he was triggered into another world.  He noticed that he had a warriors belt and sword and the shield of fame. Conn ran out of the forest and shut the book behind the dragon with an evil look on his face.

Free Fall

One night there was a boy called Jack.  He fell fast asleep the stars sparkled.  The quilt turned into lucious green fields.  Jack dozed off into a dream.

Jack floated in the sky.  He wanted to go home he was beginning to feel hungry.
