Historical cartoons, Acrostics, Happy Anniversary and an update on Saturn V!

This week I’ve received lots of superb acrostics poems and several cartoons for our historical time line competition. Anton also created a beautiful card to celebrate our recent 60th Anniversary, and Oliver (who celebrated his birthday on Tuesday) is making an incredible Saturn V rocket, and sent me a couple of pictures capturing his progress.

Finn proudly displays his acrostics poem (Mr Jones and Mr Oswin are also very impressed by the shirt!)

Rory is also very proud of his Thank You NHS Acrostics poem!

Anton’s amazing pop-out Anniversary card!

Our children in school have produced an amazing collaborative symmetrical picture with Mrs Kerr and Mrs Carmichael

Mirrors

Mirrors are shiny

I love ice-cream shaped mirrors

Reflect yourself

Rainbows shining in

On a rainy day

Right now we can play with mirrors

Start collecting mirrors

Lockdown

Lockdown,

Only seeing family,

Cakes being baked,

Keeping two-metre distance,

Doing school work at home,

Outside exercise once a day,

Waiting for news,

News that will say we’re out of lockdown.

Eva (Year R)

Covid-19

Covid-19 is veeeeerrrrrry dangerous,

Only one person per family is allowed in a shop at a time,

Virus I wish you were gone,

Instead you stay and spread,

Days have passed and nothing has changed in lockdown.

Never go out more than once a day says the government,

I wish that wasn’t a thing,

Never did I think I would miss my friends, my teacher and my school so much,

Even though I get time to play with Ariella every day,

The days are still quite boring,

Every day gets longer,

Every day we still try to do fun activities,

Now I hope it’s soon over and done, goodbye Covid -19.

Carmel (Year 4)

Isolation

It’s becoming a crisis

Schools closed down

Our government underestimated how bad this could be

Lots of people need help

Aid organisations wrapping up food

The nation responds confidently

Illness spreading across the world

Optimistic scientists will find a cure

Now all is well and the world will be peaceful once more

Nicholas (Year 3)
