In Room 10 we have been using our senses to collect information and then write an interesting description of a place. We have been learning to use interesting describing words and a variety of sentence starters to make our writing more enjoyable for the reader. CHECK THEM OUT!

Chicken Nugget Library - By Tomas

Today I was surprised because we were going to the library. When we got there I felt sandpapery tables. Suddenly, I smelt cheesy chicken nuggets. The I felt hard number plates.


Our Library - By Suzanne


In the library, the pretty pretty library, I suddenly heard noisy, chatty, screaming children who were like elephants. The tables felt hard like a tree. On the wall there were beautiful pictures.

The Letter Library – By Macey

All of a sudden, I found myself in the library, I saw some mightly snapping sharks hanging on the ceiling, and then ever so slightly, all of a sudden I heard tremendous noisy feet coming in. While that was happening I fell over and landed on the most silkiest thing I had ever felt; it was a very lovely silky bean bag.

Then suddenly I felt like going to the library corner, I smelt this little box, it had this very oily smell; I was sure it was some nugget creams. My favourite thing in the library is the books. I especially like the cool chapter ones the best!


The Field at Muritai - By Maya

Yesterday I explored the field. I saw towering trees that were blowing like the wind and croaking cicadas living in them. Suddenly a cicada fell to ground. It smelt of a fearsome and rotting, fishy, smelly, black rat. It was sad. After that I felt rough leaves, when suddenly I heard this weird sound - it was an echoing, barking dog. Then I felt smooth wind through my hair, I felt like a great bird.


The Far Field at Muritai - By Pra-Wa

I rushed to the field and I hear an echoing barking dog next the towering trees. Then I look up to the sky – croaky flying cicadas was singing in the sky. I smelt a fresh sea breeze around the trees, it smelt like seaweed. Also I felt bumpy hard ground. It made me laugh.

The kids in Room 10 have been learning to throw and catch better. We have been practicing our skills when we play T-Ball. Milly seems to be an exceptionally big hitter (two home runs!).

In Room 10 we have been learning to draw 'what we see, not what we THINK is in front of us'. We are concentrating on line and shade and are producing some really WICKED still life art - there could be some wonderful artists around Eastbourne in the future.

Donkey Pooh!

Room 10 and Room 22 have buddied up and will be working together throughout the year. They will be working on a variety of different projects, such as; designing and painting a garden post and creating a vegetable garden at the back of Room 22.

Here are a few photos of a couple of kids from Room 10 and Room 22 digging in the donkey pooh so when we plant our vegetables they'll have something to eat. Glad I'm not a vegetable!

Room 10's BFG freeze frames

We have begun reading Roald Dahl's novel: The BFG. The kids in room 10 identified the most important moments of the story so far. They then worked together in their cooperative groups to create a freeze frame for one of the moments.

See if you can tell who is who.
