100 WC Showcase Week 4

Charlotte wrote a 100 Word Challenge entry that needed to include the words red, hard, mountain, floated & umbrella. Her work was 'Showcased' on the 100 Word challenge website.

Below is a copy of her writing that was originally posted here.

 

The Crumbs were an average family. I want to tell you one of the many average not- adventures they partook in. It happened one Sunday afternoon. Seamus was complaining,"Mum, this homework's too hard! Dad! Come and help me!..."On and on he droned, waiting for constant help. Anyway, they were supposedly climbing up a mountain. Mount Everest. "We'll need the umbrella!" Shouts Tracy.
"The red one?" Calls Mr. Crumb, to Tracy.
"Yeah," she replies, now in the living room," I'll get it".
"... They suddenly floated out of the window! They were actually flyi- Mum, are you actually listening?" A depressed Alice grunted.

2016 Limerick Competition Winners

Once again, as part of our poetry studies, we’ve held a Limerick competition. We had many excellent entries and it was difficult to choose winners. Below are the four winners for 2016. If you’d like to leave them a comment about their work, please do. These poems will be performed by all the Year Five children as part of the 2016 Be an Author Week Assembly.

There once was a man who loved kippers,

Who also enjoyed velvet slippers,

"How can I combine,

These two loves of mine?

I'll stick them as one to make flippers!"     

Nyahleh S.

There was an old man from Eaton Socon,

He found out both his legs were broken,

He slid on his bum,

Until it was numb,

While waiting for the doctor's to open.

Tom C.

There once was a little old sow,

Who was very afraid of the plough,

The farmer was shocked,

To find she was locked,

In the barn with the highland cow.

Adam W.

There was a girl from Hail Weston,

Who said every word as a question,

Who? what? when?

Can we do it again?

So her family moved to Preston.

Chloe B.

We also wanted to recognise these poems, which were written by the twins we have in Year Five:

The thing about being a twin,

Is that we both are desperate to win,

I get in a tizzy,

Competing with Izzy,

Our arguments make such a din!     

Amelia F.

The thing about being a twin,

Is that we are both desperate to win,

I get in a stew,

Competing with a ‘Moo’,

Our arguments make such a din!

Izzy F.

How would you make the world a better place? - Matthew

On the Night Zookeeper website, Matthew wrote a response to "How would you make the world a better place?" His writing and a link to the original work can be found below. If you have any comments for Matthew, please add them to this blog post.

This is a world of war and everyday lives are lost. We should live in a world of harmony and peace. We should do everything we can to change it back to the wonderful world that was created. If I could change one thing on the earth, it would be to change the earth into an environment of hopeful people who dream and believe. I would achieve this by convincing everyone that war will not change the world. I dream that one day the world will once again be a planet of harmony and peace. This is a true hope.
