Apollo 11 Revisited Part One

As promised, here is the first of two movies about the Space paintings. Children wrote their voiceover using deBono's Thinking Hats. They thought about the experience of the astronauts and their experience as a painter.

Some Super Spring Writing: Part three

Superb Spring has sprouted at St Albans School. On the 15th of September Room 16 went wonderfully walking around the school searching for signs of Spring.

Sharp spikes were on the stalk of the soft green rose shoots. The spikes were dark purple and looked like rhinoceros horns.

Birds were soaring down from the trees. Swush, swash, swosh was the sound you could hear. If you listened closely you would hear magpies chirping a melody as they built their nests for their eggs. The magpies are black and white as Room Sixteen discovered.

Room Sixteen felt proud about their discoveries. They also felt excited that Spring was just around the corner.

The fantastic Spring has sprung. Yesterday there was no rain so Room SIxteen went for a walk to find the signs of Spring. We went out and guess what we saw growing: flowers and bright yellow daffodils. We saw birds chirping and making nests for their eggs. We saw five blossoms, they were pink and white. So what an exciting sparkling time Spring really is.

In St Albans School, Spring has sprung! Room Sixteen went out for a trot to look for signs of Spring.

The first sign we found was a summer sport - cricket. Giant fluffy clouds like the foamy soap you can get at the Palms were in the blue sky. Puddles were here and there with the sun hitting the water softly, and making it glisten ever so brightly.

Calendars, Cards and Diaries

You should have received an order form for the PTA Calendar fundraiser. The original art works are in a clearfile in the office so you can have a close up look at the work. We copied the style of art from Lauren Child. In the meantime we hope you enjoy the movie we've made using them. The children wrote and performed their own voiceovers.


Part two available now. Go to post of Friday 27th August.

Cycling Pursuit Races

This was a fun-tastic new event at St Albans this year. Lots of Room 16 children entered the event, and three children made it into the Year Three finals.
We were proud of Kezia who came fourth after a final with Marit in the girls' event. Zachary won in the battle for first and Flynn came a flying second in the boys' event.
Here is a photo of the class with our champions.
