Big Writing - Week Beginning 7th February

 

Week Beginning: 7th February 2022

Poetry - Kennings

This week we will be focusing on poetry.  We will look closely at an Anglo-Saxon form of poetry called ‘Kennings’, which are very easy to write, yet sometimes difficult to decipher! For our Big Writing on Friday, we will be writing our own Kennings, therefore, thinking about synonyms for verbs would be very handy!  E.G., walk = stroll, pace, wander, ramble, trudge.

If you would like to do any homework around the subject...then 10 Dojo points will be on  offer.  Perhaps you could draw a labelled picture...or create a word bank...or even perhaps a Kenning poem?  The choice is yours!

Alongside the kennings, we will also be learning to recite by heart, a class poem for the, ‘Poscars’. If you would like to get a head start, then please check our class blog to find a copy of our   poem...which you can start learning.

Thank you for your continued support!

Mr Forrester, Mrs Hurst and Mrs Teague

Then, we began mashing it with our hands and adding some water, lemon juice and washing up liquid to perform some more mashing. (The water was acting as the saliva and the lemon juice and washing up liquid were acting as the acid and enzymes that help to break our food down.  Afterwards, we handed it over to Mrs Hurst as it got quite messy from here on out! We gathered around the demonstration table and watched as each group came and squeezed the masticated bread into the pair of tights. Poor Mrs Hurst ended up with quite a lot of it on her hands!   Then it was completely over to Mrs Hurst to demonstrate the job of the small and large i...

 We have had such an exciting couple of days. Yesterday, we got to do a Zoom call with Pudsey and his friend Nina. Here they are saying hello to us all and the next photo is Pudsey having a go at hula-hooping!   Then today, we got to come to school in non-school uniform and wearing something spotty or Pudsey-themed. Here are some photos...

Performing our playscripts

 There was certainly lots of enjoyment and giggles going on in 4HT this morning when we were performing the Harry Potter playscripts we had put together.   There were expressive voices, actions and props galore. We all really enjoyed watching the performances and Mrs Hurst was so pleased with how we worked together in our groups.
