Popcorn

By Bryan

Popcorn is yummy

Smells like a slice of blue cheese.

It tastes so lovely.

Can’t stop myself, eating it!

Then I notice, it vanishes.

Popcorn

By Guilhem Year 5

Popcorn smells divine

It shouts angrily, “Pop, pop, pop!”

Because of the heat.

Melts beautifully in my mouth

Best, eaten by the handful.

POPCORN HAIKU
We made some popcorn and then wrote about popcorn, in the Japanese poem style of HAIKU.
This means the first line must have 5 syllables, the second line 7 and the last 5.
We hope you enjoy them.

Objects, Rooms and Activities in The House.

Here is a three-storey house with two bedrooms, a bathroom and laundry, a lounge or sitting room, a kitchen, a dining room. There is a front door, a chimney and some stairs too.

 We need to learn the names of these household objects and also the names of the rooms of the house. If we can do this well, we can start talking about where we find them and what we do in the rooms or with the objects.

Turn these cards over and you will see the name of the object, on the other side.

The Ups and Downs of Uno Stack. A Short Movie Clip of Yr 3 players.

 We all now know, how to play this game and it can be very exciting!

The year 3`s are playing UNO STACKO. They know the rules and they can problem solve to work out which block to remove and place on top next.
They have a lot of fun but know that someone will topple the stack. Who will it be?
The stack becomes very wobbly as it grows taller.
They are always surprised when the stack starts to fall and everyone laughs, screams out or jumps around when this starts to happen.
It is the way of the game.
All the children are good sports.
