Emotive WWII poetry
Our week in Literacy has found Year 5 researching , studying and writing poems based around World War II and evacuation. The children have read a variety of WWII poetry and highlighted words and phrases that they liked and felt they might be able to use in their own writing.
The children then wrote their own poem. Here are some examples of their work.
He is leaving
My child is my love,
I have to to let him go.I am shattered to pieces the moment you walked away.
I cried an ocean for you,
my feet refused to walk away.
I sacrificed my life for you.
A headache grows,
your hand might shake but I know this is the right thing to do.

The day you handed me over
The day you handed me over was the most tragic day of my life,
You handed me over, I cried in sorrow and despair as you kissed my hand and said goodbye,
My mother walked away and wiped away her tears with her handkerchief, I didn’t know what to say until suddenly I muttered,
“Please don’t leave me like this.”
I wish she could come with me, but she mumbled ,
“I am sorry my baby girl, but I can not come, I have to watch over the city.”
She wrapped her bare arms around me and said goodbye,
Ever since I left her I look at the locket of me, her and dad.

My Dear Daughter
My eyes flood with tears, as you walk away. My heart feels like it is going to explode,
I don’t know who I am anymore.
I wave good bye for the rest of my life,
My smile dies when you walk away.
My soul drifts away,
My love fades away, I am nothing.

Dog Trust in Year 1
This week in Year 1, we had a special visitor in our classroom. We were lucky to be greeted by Bailey and his owner. They were sat on Miss Tsang’s chair! We were extremely excited and eager to find out why there was a dog in our classroom. They had come from Dog Trust to teach us about looking after dogs. Bailey’s owner told us a story and we were the actor and actresses of the story. We did an excellent job! We now know how to care for animals, and we have decided to turn our role play into a Vet surgery to look after all of the sick animals.
PSHE – Year 5
During PSHE in Year 5 this week children looked at Friendships and making the right choices. We looked at scenario’s where someone may ask you to keep a secret which may make the children feel unsafe and a secret which might make them feel safe. Children discussed with their peers how they would deal with these situations and shared their reasons for this with their groups (and later their class). As a class children showed a clear understanding of how to deal with situation that they are uncomfortable with and were very clear on who they could share information with if they felt unsafe or uncomfortable about something.
PSHE – Year 6
During this week’s PSHE lesson the childen in Year 6 have focused on Keeping Safe. During the lesson children discussed what ‘Being Safe’ means to them and shared their views and ideas with their class. Children also looked at who’s responsibility it is to keep themsleves safe? As a class the children looked at scenerio’s which might make them feel unsafe and discussed what they could do in these situations. As a class all of the children were able to identify people who they could talk to that helped them to feel safe in school and outside of school.
Reception’s autumn walk
On Tuesday, Reception went on a trip to Sutton Park. We have been learning all about autumn and noticing the changes that occur.

We did an activity where we matched up colours and objects. The children had a fantastic time and can’t wait for the next trip!
