We have been learning about the Highwayman Poem by Alfred Noyes.
We discussed what makes a good poetry performance and here it is: It might be useful for tomorrow's Big Writing, where we will retell the story. We are packed and ready to go. After that, we have the final challenge activity. See you all soon... Let's face it: Fiennes looked pretty exhausted this morning! However, the boys who got 10/10 for room tidiness won an extra canoe session for the team! Look at their response.... Photos might have to wait until the slide show as we will get seriously wet! Fiennes walked to Pooley Bridge today. After a 5 mile walk and steamer back, we then went in the tunnels (although there are no pictures of this)! We also did some scrambling ( hence the helmets)- see the video! Another lovely morning here and we always enjoy a good breakfast to get us ready for the day's activities. Today, Fiennes group are walking and going on the lake, Dalton group are canoeing and Bonnington are gorge walking! Year 5 and 6 had a fantastic last day of term at Tanfield Comp today. The two Steves (Barlow and Skidmore) entertained us with hilarious tales from their stories. As you can see from the video below, it was a fully interactive experience, which the children raved about on the way home! They encouraged us to believe that 'we are all writers'. My favourite part was when they said that you should write about what you know: YOU! They also took the time to talk to Leah about her 100wc post. What was your favourite part? Enjoy the video below - sorry there is no sound, but I've added a Youtube clip to make it more atmospheric! Spooky Literacy Day from Mark temple on Vimeo. |
