This week we have been re-writing the story of Pandora's Box as part of our Myths and Legends/Ancient Greece theme. Below is an extract from Danielle's re-telling. We hope you enjoy it!
Many years ago, when neither sorrow nor pain existed in the world, a powerful titan name Prometheus, summoned all of his power and knowledge to make mankind. He fashioned them from mud and made them look like gods. When Zeus, king of the gods, discovered that mankind looked like his own family, the gods of Olympia, he was outraged!
'Prometheus you menance! How dare you insult my family and I in this way?' he yelled.
Zeus commanded Prometheus not to give mankind any power or knowledge, in case they ever rivalled the gods. He warned him that this was his last chance...

In celebration of World Book Day, we brought all our characters together to write a new adventure! Below is an extract from the Mad Hatter's (Luc's) diary about an adventure he had with his companions Where's Wally, Matilda, Elsa and Oliver Twist.
Dear my
cherished chamber of thoughts,
With a sharp
intake of breath, I am collating my thoughts of today’s momentous events. A
sequence of magical happenings has occurred! Let me go back to the beginning….
Fatigued, having
just hosted a barmy Mad Hatters Tea Party, I gulped down a satisfying mug of blue
tea. Suddenly, however, I just plummeted out of Wonderland. Without warning, a mystical
girl cajoled me over. “Who are you?” I asked inquisitively. She introduced herself
as Matilda…
Taco tasting in 6F!
Here are the first two paragraphs of Elle's taco review. This was the factual part of her review. She later went on to state here opinion of the tacos we made.
Introduction:
To begin, did you know that tacos in Mexico are also known as sandwiches, here in England?
As it is ‘International Week’, our country is Mexico (in Year 6) and we will be doing a lot of tasting! We have got a little word from Neo-Pascal: “Tacos are one of my favourite foods, especially the spicy ones!” Well it looks like there are many souls with tacos as their favourite foods! If you don’t know what tacos are, I will tell you. Tacos are like u-shaped nachos which can be filled by a variety of possible ingredients.
History:
Despite being a world-wide dish, tacos don’t really have a history; people say the history is unknown! Tacos were also known as the little explosives workers used to extract the ore in 19th Century Mexico. “When you think about it, a chicken taquito with a good hot sauce is really like a stick of dynamite!” reported Pilcher, a taco expert. However, I would much prefer a taco with salad in it!

5E's Japanese Haiku Poetry
This week in celebration of International Week, Year 5 have been studying Japan. We first learnt about various aspects of Japanese culture and created a fact file. Following this, we wrote Haiku poetry about what we had discovered.
Below is Rachel's Haiku poetry. Can you work out how many syllables are traditionally found on each line?
Her first poem discusses the tradition of sitting under cherry blossom trees, whereas the second describes the superstition of the daruma dolls upon which wishes are made.
Cherry blossom trees,
Growing in emerald fields
That I sit under.
A wish may come true,
The second eye tells the truth,
It is up to you.
