Reciting Poems

Today we have been looking at poem by some famous (and not so famous) poets.  We have been trying hard to learn some off by heart.  We have brought home our poetry anthology tonight so we can show you.  Below are two of our favourites!



Today I Saw a Worm by Spike Milligan


Kiwis by Roger McGough

Edith Cavell Moving Pictures

Edith Cavell from


In History, we have been looking at World War One and one of the heroes of this period, Edith Cavell.  To begin with, we didn't know ANYTHING about her. We used the internet to find out information about her life and what she did in World War One. 

This led us to even more questions!

If you would like to find out some information, this is a great website: Edith Cavell

We have also been looking at moving picture and making mechanisms like levers and sliders.

We decided to mix these two together to tell other people about this great hero who looked after EVERYONE, not just the soldiers on her 'side'. 

We took some of the main parts of her life and illustrated them then animated them with sliders and levers.  Have a look below at the main events that we illustrated:

Edith Cavell leaving home.








Edith Cavell going learning to be a nurse.



Edith Cavell helping soldiers of all countries 




Edith Cavell about to be arrested.




Edith Cavell being shot by firing squad.
 

Here are all of our animated pictures:






























Please leave a comment as we love to read them in class!

Thanks for reading.
