Ashiq's diary entry

This week we wrote diary entries exploring different viewpoints of endangered animals. Below is Ashiq's diary entry from the perspective of an endangered tiger.

Dear diary ,

                  I am in a gloomy, dark cave with my cute cubs. I am scared  but my cubs are with filling me with hope .Will we live? Let me explain what has happened. There I was, taking care of my adorable cubs in a diminutive way  in the hulking forest.

I was axiomatic  when I saw that figure. Beyond the beautiful skies I was sensing danger. I can sniff danger. Boom! I scuttle away. The hunter is after me.

I am sprinting faster then  a soldier in a war galloping  from the tank. I help my baby cub up.  Screaming  bullets remarkably  miss me. I misguide the hunter and perish  away from the unmissable man. My baby cubs are as malnourished as a car fuming out petrol. 

From,

Tiger

PS (I hope the hunter must have a legitimate  reason for killing me).

5E's primary colour pointillism experimentation

Prior to visiting Whipsnade Zoo, 5E experimented with pointillism techniques in order to learn about what techniques worked most effectively. After the visit, the children used their knowledge to create pointillism art of their favourite animal at the zoo.

Below are stages in their learning. We began by creating secondary and tertiary colours using our colour wheel knowledge. We followed this by experimenting with cotton buts, cocktail sticks, pencils and paintbrushes in order to create different pointillism effects. We finished our experimentation by creating our animals in a collage of their natural habitat.

Below you can find Chanel and Yeganeh's colour wheels, Daneel and Malakai's pointillism tool experimentation and finally Leo and Daneel's animals.

Animal Poetry by 5G

This week in Year 5 we have started our new theme, 'Endangered Animals'. We have been writing a range of different poems based on various species of endangered animals including riddles, haikus and shape poems. Below is our class poem from our acrostic session. We hope you enjoy it!

Enormous elephants plod wearily,
Like great, grey blundering boulders.
Extremely inept, they trample bushes and grass underfoot.
Peacefully, they halt and rest, finding a 
Home underneath the starry sky.
Arising sleepily, they prepare again to march,
Never pausing in their onwards journey,
Trying desperately to avoid deadly dangers.
