Imagining mysterious characters and magical islands in Class 5!
Posted: Oct 11, 2024 by: Louise Bamfield (LBamfield) on: Class 5
We have had another busy and exciting week in Class 5, with a literacy event on Thursday in which we got to meet the author, Liz Flanagan.
She told us about the inspiration behind her own books, set in a fantasy world with talking animals - which in turn inspired us to create our own characters and think of a story setting on a magical island.
Matilda mentioned, “I really enjoyed English because we got to write our own stories," while William observed, "Today we created our own character, island and plot for a story, and what I loved was the island I made up.”
Meanwhile, Noah noted that his idea of an island with a dungeon got mentioned at the live event, so that everyone from the other schools got to hear about it today. "Today I wrote about my island but made it different." he concluded.
Art with Miss Monday continues to be one of the children's favourite lessons. As Sebastian stated, “I liked Art because we got to use a graphite stick and also we had the chance to draw an astronaut.”
Rosie remarked, “I liked art because it was really fun to do,” and Zevi said, “I liked Art because we drew pictures of different planets.”
Brass and Mandarin are also very popular:
Millie mentioned, “I enjoyed Mandarin because we got our Mandarin names and we got to do a colour by number.”
Noah said, “I really liked Mandarin because we learned another word.”
Flo said, “I liked Brass because we learned a new song.”
Talia commented, “I enjoyed Brass because I got a sticker from Mr Brown.”
Science, Maths and Geography were also mentioned by the children:
Blake said, “I liked Science because we talked about space and I liked writing about the planet Uranus, because it is a very long distance from the sun.”
Rosie said, “I liked Maths today because we got to solve problems.”
Matilda said, “I liked Geography because we learned all about the continents.”
