Limerick Competition

Last week, we asked for Limericks to be written as part of the children's home learning. Here are some of the best:

There once was a young boy called Tim,
Who went to the St. Neots gym,
He worked and worked,
Until his muscles hurt,
And his legs were more fatter than thin.

Niamh L

Once there were two girls called Lucy and Sophia,

Who came up with a brilliant idea,

They thought it would be fun,

To go for a run,

And they haven't been seen for a year!

Emmeline T

There once was a missing Jaffa Cake,

And finding it gave everyone back-ache,

My brother spied it,

When I was trying to find it,

And everyone thought it a big mistake.

Lucy J

There once was a teacher called Murphy,

Whose dance moves were pure choreography,

He jumped and he jived,

But got shook up inside,

And from then on only taught geography.

Emma S

This is just a small selection of the excellent poems that were written. Well done to all who wrote one.

During Be an Author Week, we wrote stories set in China. 

The stories 5LM wrote can all be found here.

Enigma Machine and Bletchley Park

Today, we had a visitor in school from Bletchley Park. This half term, the children have been studying a unit of work entitled 'We are Cryptographers' and have learned about the history and development of encryption and its role in modern day computing. 

The visitor added to this study by brining an Enigma Machine into school. The children decoded a message, learned about the history of sending messages in secret and learned about the role the Enigma Machine and Bletchley Park played in World War Two. The session culminated in seeing the Enigma Machine work and the children even being able to operate it. 

Tom, the visitor from Bletchley Park said, "...enthusiastic, motivated students are a pleasure to work with!"
