Class 3 Poetry Week

Today Class 3 will be watching lots of  performance poetry  and deciding what makes a good performance. The children will then write their  own Success Criteria so they can evaluate their  own performances later in the week!!


We watched Michael Rosen perform Chocolate Cake.
Lily thought his facial expressions were strange but very funny.
Arjuna noticed that he changed the volume of his voice.
Sarah enjoyed the way he used his hands and arms to keep you watching.
Oliver liked the way he made us laugh.
Lydia noticed that he spoke very clearly all the time.
Grace said she enjoyed the story he told.
Thomas noticed that he had learned all the words.
Ehsan said that means he knows them ‘off by heart’
Sophie said he did not stumble over the words or say ummmm.
Layla enjoyed the way Michael Rosen sometimes paused but he didn’t stop for a very long time.

Meeting Peter Holden MBE

All the children from the 'Bird Club' were invited to meet Peter Holden MBE, a national ornithologist who has worked for the RSPB for 47 years.He has written many books, appeared on television and is responsible for the youth membership in the RSPB. He also founded the Wildlife Explorer's Awards and the Big Schools' Birdwatch that we take part in at the school.

He presented a signed book and certificate to some children who have done extra fund raising for wildlife. It was such a privilege for us all to meet and talk to such an inspirational man.

Sutton Coldfield RSPB presentation

Six children from the Bird Club who had participated in extra fund raising activities at Christmas time were invited to the Sutton Coldfield RSPB local group's meeting to give a presentation. All the children had prepared their own speeches explaining about their Wildlife Action Awards and how they raised the extra funds, then practised them in their lunch times.


On the night the children did themselves proud as they talked to a hall full of people and showed a PowerPoint of their work. In the interval the local group members made comments about how amazing the children were; they were thrilled to know that children are thinking about the future of animals and their environment.


The children presented the president of the group a cheque for £25 from the money they raised, which was gratefully received. The Group's own report of the evening is here.


Well done to you all.
