The Dreamgiver

This week in literacy we are using the story of 'The Dreamgiver' to support us in our writing. We began our lesson by closing our eyes and imagining that we were asleep and having the best dream we could imagine.

We then watched the story and started to think about what kind of Dreamgivers there may be. We also talked about nightmares and why the nightmare happened in the story. We designed our own Dreamgiver and thought about what our dream egg would be cracked onto in our bedroom. Here is the story you can watch at home!

A Peak Into One Of Our ICT Lessons

These next couple of weeks we are going to be making our newspaper articles using 'Purple Mash' all about the Great Fire Of London. We have to try and remember the main events of the fire and use the programme to add text, pictures and clipart images.

It was our first lesson on this last Wednesday. Here we are in the ICT suite in action.

The Purple Mash website is here if you want to have a go at home....

Our Topic... The Great Fire Of London

Our topic for this half term if The Great Fire Of London and we began to start learning all about this historic event in our topic work this week. Can you remember what date it started on?


We began by producing some super artwork using 2 different techniques, batik and watercolour. Batik is a type of artwork which involves using wax on a piece of material and then washing over it with a watery paint. We produced some super pieces that are going to make a fantastic, colourful display in our classroom!

The Ugly Sharkling - Maia Walczak

This week in literacy we have been looking at another of Maia Walczak's stories and this time it was 'The Ugly Sharkling'. We were looking at the different roles of the characters in the story and how they made us feel. We were also thinking about the moral of the story. Another activity we had to do was to decide, if we could have any animal as a best friend what would we choose and where would we go?

You can watch the story here...
