Molly & Isaac's Live Writing work!
Molly and Isaac took part in a Live Writing session this evening, working with children from Maple Class, Brunswick House Primary School and Highlawn Primary School (amongst others!). A huge thanks to Mrs Brayford for hosting the session! There was a prompt based on soldiers preparing to fight in World War One. You can look at the whole session here.
Here is Molly's stunning piece of writing:
And here is Isaac's wonderful piece:
I'm hugely proud of the work both of you produced - well done!
Here is Molly's stunning piece of writing:
I could feel the mustyness of the wet trench tickling my nose. "All ready boys? Were going in..." I knew there was not turning back now... A sudden sudder shot straight up my weak spine, this was a matter of life or death... Suddenly a deathening boom shook the muddy trench, "Thats the sound of war boys.." Then I knew it was time.... " Over you go boys, its time to face the enemies." I shuddered in the freezing cold, knowing that I would soon lie on my death bed. The world kept on turning around me, I couldn't keep my balance. Before I knew it I was on the floor pouring blood. I dragged myself along the bloody battlefield, realising that my live was dangerously at risk. The floor shook violently as the terrific bombs exploded in the distance. I knew this was the end. Soon most of my team mate were lieing on the bloody battlefields with me, but some were still hanging on to there dear lives. Screams rattle my ears as was slowly dieing in pain and anger, I knew we were going to lose this dreaded war. Another bulit stuck me in the chest, I tried to scream for help but I simply didn't have enough breath.
And here is Isaac's wonderful piece:
I stood like a statue behind the only tree in miles. Suddenly flashes of light came past me, it was a bullet. I quickly got my heavily amoured machine gun out and started firing back, with my men all around me doing exactly the same. Many people were falling and dying, shouting out their last words at the same time. I could see a frightening Panzer tank charging over the hill. Steadily and slowly, its massive cannon was making its way around to shoot us. Was I going to die? Thankfully, one of my crew had brought a Sherman along to this attack. The Sherman happily (and luckily) fired directly at the Panzer and blew it up immediately! Our men quickly moved foward, we now had this one in the bag! With many people dead, we had won the battle at No Man's Land.
I'm hugely proud of the work both of you produced - well done!

100wc - week 27!
Hi everyone - it seems a while since we had a new prompt for the 100wc, but here it is!
On 23rd April it is St George's Day - he is the patron saint of England and legend has it that he once battled and killed a dragon. So... the prompt this week is:
...the dragon slowly stirred...
Your 100wc doesn't have to be to do with Saint George, but must include the words in the prompt, so you have 104 words in total!
Happy writing!

Wonderful Olympic homework projects!
Over the Easter break, the children in the class have been working on the Olympics homework - they had a free choice to do anything they like as long as it was to do with the Olympics.
I have to say that I'm bowled over by some of the fabulous pieces of work that arrived in class this morning - I'm proud of you, Ash Class!
There are also some amazing pieces of Olympics ICT work that I will share on here soon!

10,000 hits on our blog!
EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY...
I wanted to say a huge thank you to Molly and Isaac for the many excellent comments they've been leaving on our 100 word challenges this week (week 26 - you can find the posts here and here) - do have a look because they're a super example of how to make really interesting and productive comments, picking out all the good parts but also some bits that can be improved. Moreover, they highlight any mistakes sensitively and sensibly so that the writers can use their advice to improve their work in the future - well done guys!
Mr K :-)
Our new blogging partner!
I signed up our class blog to a project called 'Blogadopt' - basically it means that different class blogs are paired up so that the classes can comment on each other's work. Our new partner is Class 5T at Broadmeadow Junior School in Birmingham (pretty close to where I used to work!) and their blog address is here:

I know that you'll leave them some great comments and hopefully we'll get some back too - happy commenting!
