I woke up, to an awakening sound It was a airoplane flying over my house: I am used to it . I opened my curtains and saw the bright sun beaming into my room . I ran down the stairs to find my yellow violin smashed, it was broken. Suddenly the house shook I was terrified rubble started falling down on me. I woke up to find pieces of debris on top of me it was like I was eaten alive. When I finally managed to get out my mum had swept away most of the dust and we were all safe.

 

Make 24

Some Year Five children have been playing 'Make 24'. This mathematical game is available as a board game, online and there are various apps for mobile devices too.

Which One Doesn't Belong?

In a recent Crosshall Connects, we shared the Which One Doesn't Belong site. Some Year Five children have created their own.

Charlotte's Independance

Last week, Charlotte handed in her English home learning a day before it had been set. Here's what she did: she logged into her Google Drive account and found that the home learning task had already been uploaded.
