Our books!

It's Book Day today! Let's read and have fun!

We have written and illustrated some books in class to celebrate Saint George, World Book Day.

In Year 6 we first read two stories on Sinbad, the sailor and Romeo and Juliet. Then, we wrote the stories and draw the pictures. Finally, we recorded the text.

So, now, read our books and listen to the stories.

World Poetry Day

Today is the World Poetry Day ... so, let's read poetry!
Do you write poems? I don't write poems.
Do you read poems? I sometimes read poems.

We are going to read these poems in class and... why not?, try writing your own poems too!

Listen and read these two poems written by Robert Louis Stevenson:


Whole Duty of children
.


A child should always say what's true
And speak when he is spoken to,

And behave mannerly at table;
At least as far as he is able.






At The Seaside


When I was down beside the sea
A wooden spade they gave to me
To dig the sandy shore.

My holes were empty like a cup.
In every hole the sea came up,
Till it could come no more.



Welcome SPRING!

It's spring again! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming!
Let's play to celebrate it!


Solve this spring puzzle



And watch the video of Caillou discovering spring:
