Animation Claymation

For the whole of this week, we have been doing Claymation. The claymation has been based on the birth of Jesus, it features the animals, shephards and the 3 wise men and everyone who visited Mary and Joseph. When the King demands they travel back to were they lived before, Mary and joseph take a journey back to Narareth on a donkey to have Jesus. Once they are safe and secure in a stable they have Jesus in a Manger. And everybody is invited...

It has been really fun so far. We have been working hard in our groups by doing extra things at home and we hope you will enjoy them when they are finished.

Swimming at Kings - Water Safety

Last week on Friday the Room 3 children learnt some water safety at King's Swim School. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and I enjoyed watching all their mishaps. The children have shown to be very good swimmers over the past week.

Swimming at King's Swim School

This week Room 3 started swimming at King's Swim School. We will be doing this for Week 5 and Week 6. We depart from school at 11am and begin swimming at 11:55am.

Some photos from the first two days...

Ripper Rugby

Today room 3 played ripper rugby, it was so much fun and guess what?

MR. A DROPPED THE BALL!! Ha Ha Ha!

The ball had to go to the other team sadly, there is a video.

However, Mr A scored two brilliant tries. He stepped the whole class and scored. One of the best tries I have ever seen, and I have seen many tries.

There was a red and a yellow team.

You have 2 straps ether red or yellow.

You tap the ball and run up and the defenders try to rip one of the straps off. Then they put it in the air and shout "rip."

If you are greedy the ball has to go to the other team.

Nobody likes greedy players.

Sadly no one won or lost, it was a draw.

The game ripper rugby is like touch rugby.

Molly's Poem

Marvelous Mammals lurking the land,

Snakes and seals marking the sand,

tigers and lions bellowing low,

Monkeys and parrots clipping thier toe!

Girraffes and pumas ruling the rocks,

birds and others flying with frocks!!!

Room 3 Narrative Writing

Big Bad Joe

There once was a hammerhead shark called Joe. He was a vegetarian. Joe has scars on his face from fighting over food. Joe has lived in the rough end of the sea and it was dreadful. Joe had seven fins and a very pointy nose and eyes bulging out of his head. Joe had 3000 teeth in seven rows.

In the weekend, in the deep end, Joe got a painful tooth ache. So he tried punching it out and it made it crack and hurt even more. His tooth ache hurt so much that he could not eat. He started to starve to death.

When Joe put food in his mouth to get a taste, his tooth fell out. He yelled, "Hooray!"

That night Joe went to a big party and scoffed his face with food and had fun at the same time.

Off to the Beach

I was walking along the big, long, unpredictable beach. Everything was quiet today. The beach was usually packed with joyful souls.

I decided to go for a swim when I saw a shape coming towards me. I though it was seaweed so I did not panic and kept swimming. I felt a tug on my leg and got the feeling it was not seaweed. So I started to swim back. I felt it again then saw the shape. I needed to do something fast.

"Ahhhh," I screamed as I saw the shark. Chomp! It took a big bite out of my arm as I was trying to punch it on the nose. The blood started draining out of my body. I knew I was going to die…

Killer Princess Tooth Ache

There once was a female shark, her name was The Killer Princess. Kiler Princess lives in the Pacific Ocean. Can you believe her skin was purple? Also her mother Anne was hot pink and light blue.

Suddenly a strike of lightning came, it was a thunderstorm. Everyone screamed. Killer Princess has never been in a storm before, by the look of it, everyone was scared so she went to her shark mother at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Killer Princess gets to the bottom and tells her mother that she is scared. Her mother goes to the top of the ocean and sees the thunderstorm, Killer Princess comes up too. Then suddenly a strike of lightning hit Killer Princess' tooth. "Ouch!" Killer Princess screamed. Anne rushed to the bottom of the ocean and gets a special type of coral that helps sore teeth. She brought it up to Killer Princess. The coral worked but there was still pain. So they put an ice pack on it. Killer Princess said her tooth was aching.

Anne kissed her daughter and said "All better now!"

Bruce has a Pain

Big bad Bruce was a vast predator of the ocean. Bruce had very few friends because of his furious attitude.

Another day dawned in the open ocean. Breakfast was coming soon for big bad Bruce. One fish gone, the next gone, he was going for three when suddenly he spotted a huge fish that zipped across his eye. Yum, thought Bruce. Bruce zoomed after the fish and banged his tooth on a rcok. "Ahooooo!" yelled Bruce in pain.

As soon as his friends heard that ferocious scream, they ran away. They ran away because they thought that he had a scheme to eat them because he was so hungry. Full of displeasure and distress he swam prodding this way and that. His friends thought he wanted to eat them but he had a toothache.

"Bruce," yelled one of his chums. "Hi Marcus," said Bruce. "We thought you wanted to eat us." "No" stuttered Bruce. "I just had a toothache."

Larry's Toothache

One day there was a very friendly shark called Larry. He is a vegetarian who lives in the deep dark Pacific Ocean with he friends Gary, Bob, Sam and Harry who are fish. Larry does not want his friends to know that he is a vegetarian because he thinks they will tease him.

One day Larry woke up with a very sore tooth, he found something shiny on the sea floor. Larry looked in it and saw himself. He was shocked, but while he was looking he saw a red patch on his gum around one of his teeth.

Larry thought for a short time about what it could be. In the afternoon Larry met his friends at the Coral Café. Larry felt fine, his tooth was fine, so he started sneakily eating some seaweed while his friends were not looking, but suddenly his toothache came back. Larry was in a lot of pain, He started to fling his head and jaws around, and his friends and everybody there ran away. They thought he was going to eat them.

Once the pain had gone, Larry swam away sadly. His friends were all scared of him and had swum away. He thought to himself what could I do.

The next day Larry's friends came back to give him another change, but it happened again, his toothache came back. Over the next few days the same thing kept happening. One day when Larry was swimming all alone, he banged into a rock. Larry looked down and saw his tooth lying on the ground. Larry was so surprise he grabbed the but of mirror and saw that he had a big gap in his gum and that his gum was not red any more.

Larry swam to see his friends and told them what had happened from the start to the finish, and even that he was a vegetarian. They all lived happily in the deep blue sea together.

The Kite's Tale

One day when the sun was beaming down and the wind was wild, there was a kite gliding gracefully and so peacefully.

An extremely ferocious storm came up and snapped the string. It flew up and broke in a tall tree.

It travelled to Egypt. It was a dry desert and the kite was hot and tired. The kite then travelled to the Colosseum and peeped in the windows and annoyed the people fighting. Then on to Mt Rushmore it sneaked in between the heads and through the swaying trees all the way home.

Bolt

One day there was a dragon who had black wings and razor sharp teeth. The dragon was abandoned and his name was Bolt. Bolt has no friends, but he had hay fever. His abandoned castle had vines growing up and old flowers dying everywhere and cracks through the castle.

Bolt has really bad hay fever. One day Bolt sneezed and a red fiery bolt came out and shot in to the wall. Bolt now really wanted to try and get rid of his hay fever. He has medicine for his hay fever. He took the medicine but it made him fell weird.

One day, he looked closely at the label on his medicine and it said "Only take if you have a rash." "Oh no!" said Bolt. "I've got the wrong medicine," said Bolt. Bolt went to the shop that day. At the counter they said "Sorry there is nothing we can do about it."

So that day Bolt went home feeling sick, with nothing to do except sneezing fiery bolts out of his nose.
