This week we have been learning to write reports. We have been looking at lots of different kinds of dinosaurs, then we wrote some notes about our dinosaur. After that we wrote a report, we had to include a heading, an introduction, sub headings and a labelled diagram.

I have really enjoyed writing a report on dinosaurs, my favourite one was the Diplodocus because it had a really long tail!

I really enjoyed researching the dinosaurs. I have learnt that carnivores are meat eaters and herbivores are plant eaters. My favourite dinosaur was the Archaeopteryx because was one of the first animals to have feathers.

On Friday we had a debate about getting a class crocodile. Some children thought it was a bad idea because they thought it might eat us! But some children thought we should have class crocodile because we could take it for a walk and go for a ride on it!.

At the end of the debate we had a vote and it was decided that it would be quite a good idea to have a crocodile- Now all we have to do is ask Miss Worsley!

Superheroes for Writing Week

Last week we had a special writing week. We had to write about Superheroes. We wrote a story about them and we designed our own Super hero. My superhero was called Alaster Girl. She rescued a diamond from the jungle. Alaster Girl's super powers were that she could stretch. She stretched so that she could get closer and closer to a bad guy.

We cut out some funky shapes and decorated them. Mine said "Boom!". We also had to design a shield which showed the powers our superhero had. My shield had a big "S" on.

My superhero is called Bowl Man. His super power is shooting out Goo. He has a star belt, a green cape, and he has a Mask on his face. He is scared of fire because he is worried he will get it on his eyes.I liked colouring the pictures of our superheroes and writing the story. My favourite bit of writing week was drawing the pictures and creating our superheroes. By Simeon Year 2

My superhero is called Freeze Man. His super power is that he can freeze people. Freeze Man saved Gotham City from Pizza Man using his water bombs.  I liked looking at superheroes for writing week. It was interesting. I liked making my shield because I enjoy drawing. There was lots of ice on my shield and freeeze man was on there too.  By Charlie Year 1

By Eleanor Year 2: Last week, it was writing week and Year One and Two were writing about Superheroes. To give us some inspiration and ideas for what our super hero could be like, we watched "The Incredibles", which is a great film.

After we had watched the film, we got to work. First we could design a vehicle or gadget for our superheroes. The Year Two's had to write about what their gadget could do. Then we had to design our own Superheroes, writing about who they would be, what they would be called, and what their super hero power would be. Then we had to design a shield with their super hero power on. On Friday in big writing we had to write an adventure for our superhero.



My superhero is called "Super Stretchy Isabella". She has long hair, which she uses to catch bad people, and her greatest enemy is called "Ginger Girl". In my big writing, Super Stretchy Isabella managed to catch Ginger Girl with her long hair and put her in prison, because Ginger Girl has stolen the Queen's Crown, Super Stretchy Isabella gave the crown back to the Queen and the Queen was very happy. I liked writing week because it was an opportunity to improve our handwriting. We also did buddy reading with the younger children, and I liked that a lot.

Our Visit to the Library

Last Friday, we went to the Main Library in Hemel Hempstead. We travelled there on a Mini Bus. We were all excited to be going to visit a place which had so many books! 

Someone who worked at the Library called Karen read us a story on the carpet. It was called "What can you stack on a Yak?" We liked the story because it had lots of characters. The characters were animals, people, a duck called "Captain Duck" and a Yak. 

In the story, the Yak was being very silly and he knocked off all of the post which was supposed to be delivered. Captain Duck got very angry. The Yak picked up everyone who wanted to go back to the town they were going to, and the town which the mail was going to. All the people were happy that Yak had found all of their stuff, and so he didn't fire Captain Duck. It was a fantastic story.

 If we had bought our library cards with us, we could borrow a library book from the library, and we have to take it back in three weeks time. The library was very fun because it was exciting to be out of school. We would like to the go the library again.

Visiting the Woods

On Wednesday we went for a walk in the woods. We were listening to things that made sounds and what things look like and what things feel like. We did this this help us write a poem about the rain.

It was really muddy and lashing  down with rain but it was great fun!
