Bread

On Tuesday last week we made bread. It was awesome! I made an L shape for my name. We got to put nearly anything in the bread we wanted. In mine I put chocolate spread, some crunchy which had been crushed up. I also put some chocolate chips in and drizzled some honey on the top. Firstly, to make the bread we put the flour and water in and yeast then mixed it up. After that we started to knead the dough then it was done.

Last week on Tuesday class 9 made bread rolls and it was great fun. Firstly we put flour, water and yeast into a mixing bowl and mixed it together. Then we kneaded the dough. As there were 6 of us we had to split the dough into 6 parts and then we kneaded it some more. Then we made the shape we wanted it to be. I made a Catherine wheel and it had chocolate spread in the middle and I also put chocolate drops on top.

Our Assembly

Class 9 performed an assembly in front of the whole school on The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. We had people acting out the parts: snake, the Gruffalo, mouse, owl and fox. We also had people speaking for all our characters and people saying the moral messages.

This week we have done an assembly to the school . We did it on moral messages. We did the Gruffalo. These are some of the messages that we said - don’t judge a book by its cover and it is better to use your brain instead of using violence. We also had actors and speakers and some people doing moral messages and introducing it and we had a microphone to talk so everyone could hear us speaking. People who were not doing that learnt the rhyme.

This week we were doing a play for our assembly. We were doing the Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. I played the Gruffalo. I was shy at first but then I overcame my stage fright (I’m H.F by the way). I did a message at the end of the play because we were looking at stories with a message. My message was just because you’re small doesn’t mean you can’t do big things (I’m C.R by the way). If you’ve never heard the Gruffalo this is what happens a little brown mouse lives in a woods and he pretends he’s going to meet a creature called a Gruffalo. All the animals want to eat the mouse and ask if the mouse would like to stay for tea but the mouse said no and said he was going to meet a Gruffalo but it’s not really real. Or is it? At the end he scares all the creatures using the Gruffalo then scares the Gruffalo. by H.F and C.R


Class 9 were doing stories with a meaning and we wanted to do a play of one for an assembly. We chose the Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. I was the mouse and we had masks made for every character. At the part when the mouse said, “Who is this creature…” when he saw the Gruffalo, everyone said it. Also, we all said the last line. Mrs Kibbler had cut out a nut for me to pick up when the class said the last line. At the end C.R, T.A, L.F and D.S told the school some of the messages that we found in the story such as: bigger is not always better and using your brain is better than using violence. C.D read out a prayer that Ms Turner had found.

In class 9 we did a play called the Gruffalo. A.B was the mouse, I was the fox (G.S), Owl was A.D and the snake was L.J ,and the Gruffalo was A.M. The rest of class 9 sung a poem about the Gruffalo. The theme of our assembly was stories with a meaning. Some of our meanings were don’t judge a book by its cover, just because you are small doesn’t mean you can’t do big things and big isn’t always better.

Legends

On Friday 10th February we wrote our legends. We chose a place in Great Britain and we chose some weird names for our setting and our people in our legend for example: Lampeter is a place but it can also be used as a name. At the end of writing we marked our partners legends and they were fantastic. Some of them were better than others and some were not better than others but they were all brilliant.

Using Clay

This week in Art we have been looking at busts made out of clay. (This is a Head and shoulders out of clay.) In the Roman times all the emperors had very detailed busts. We tried to make a bust like in the Roman times but we found out that it is very hard.
Here are some tips:
1. Break the clay into two parts to make a nose as well.
2. Create the shoulders then create the head.
3. Then finally attach them together and wait till they dry.

This week in art we have been making clay busts of ourselves. We have been looking at all of the features of busts and we have had a look at some Roman busts and some contemporary busts. When we made our busts, we had to look very carefully at the features of our faces and the shape of our faces. Now we have made them, we have to wait for them to dry over the holidays and then we are going to paint them.

This week in art we made clay busts of ourselves, they had to be very detailed and we also had to put water on them to make them stick together. We used a glue spreader to spread the water over the clay model and we also used it to put little details on to the clay models. We had to do it on newspaper so that we wouldn’t get any clay on the table but eventually we did. We had a contest with another class to see who could keep the most clay off the floor but we still don’t know who won yet.

We first played with the clay so we can know how to use it better. Then I put it in to three pieces. One for the head, one for the shoulders and one for my rugby ball. It was hard because it was sticky.

This week in art we have been making clay busts. We thought carefully about the different features we have, such as hair and eyes. We tried to get our shoulders as smooth as possible. Some people struggled with making their hair. After they are dried we get to paint them. After we paint them we get to play with them and take them home and show are moms and dads and our sisters and brothers.
