Space Jump

We have been playing lots of drama games to improve our expression and ideas. A hilarious game we play is Space Jump where the first person acts out a scene then another person joins in but they have to change what you're doing.

Times table fun...

We have been practising our times tables everyday but not in the usual way. In groups we move around lots of activities like the drawing in the sand, chalf, skipping, ball throwing. As we do the activity we say the table that we are working on.

Catapult

Anna felt like she could rip her brother in half. The way he had shouted at her had made her feel down in the dumps. She blinked her long red eye lashes vacantly. Anna wished she was with Flora-Rose, her best friend. She was travelling around the tropical islands right this minute while she, Anna McCruchberry was a grumpy old goat. "Anna!" yelled her former brother. That's what she was going to call him now. "Go feed Catapult!" he said appearing at the door, trying to mimic Anna's mothers voice. 

Down with Catapult in the barn, she felt soothed and now, Catapult's horsey breath swept all her angry thoughts out of he brain to the river. Mixing the alfalfa hay with the oats, and giving it to her horse, she talked to him about FLora- Rose and how she was travelling around tropical isalnads and how tomorrow she would be in Hawaii. The times with Catapult were the best. If shew as sad she would bury her face in catapult's spottie fur and weep as much as her heart would let her. Suddenly "crunch, crunch, munch, munch, I'm going to eat you!" said a distant voice.

"quick Cat! Let's go!" Anna yelled flinging the saddle that had only a few minutes ago been sitting absently on the saddle rack.

As she walked her horse through the mud, Anna found foot prints. There were three claws with a pointy heel. Anna tethered Catapult to a tree whispering "stay there cat". As she bent down she found a key. I wonder where this goes? In front of her, about ten metres away she saw a door with a lock. She walked over and put a key in.

The Fire At the Stable

Crunch, crunch, crunch! It was autumn and I had just came back from my holiday in Australia. 

"It was awesome!' I told Isi,my best friend, "Clifton Promise jumped it clear with a metre to spare! Oh, and you should have seen the look on Jock Padget's face!"

"Cool!" Isi said, amazed, " I wish I was there."

It was right there and then I heard it, the roar! The shout of people. I looked at Isi, she didn't look back, I saw the horror on her face. I look in the direction she was looking. The orange scorching flame rose even higher. We ran towards the hot metal gates, in we rushed. There was Annie the stable owner's daughter. "Rocky!" (She was shouting the name of her pony". 

"We will get him and all the other" I said.

"Oh thank you" she said "but you can't, you will get hurt".

"We will" I said "come on Isi". I rushed in. Undoing all the bolted doors, frightened ponies ran out. I started to cough. I was breathing it in. I ran out coughing and spluttering. "I've - finished" I managed, and fell to the ground and passed out. I woke up in hospital. I opened one eye. "Where am I?" I spluttered. 

"In hospital" said a voice. I opened my other eye, it was Isi. "Emma!" my mum smiled "say cheese!" Flash, flash, flash! The camera blinded me.

On Sunday I went to the stables, it was blackened. "The saddles and bridles were broken and apart from that everything was fine" said Annie, looking disapointed. "but mum has a friend who supplies saddles and bridles so they arrive today" she added brightly. Just then they hard a crunch on the gravel driveway. Joe the stable owner came out glumly. "I believe these saddles and bridles are for you?" said Mr Cameron. 

"Yes, they are" said Joe.

Once he had unpacked Joe got out her wallet "no need for money" he said and hopped into his car and drove off. 

3 months later, it was back to normal. The horses and ponies grazed happily, people rode around the arena, relaxed. Just then...
