Mair has written a lovely lockdown verse for the Base 7 Challenge.  Well done Mair!!

Molly has worked hard on the challenge and had a few versions, but this is her favourite.

Molly added LOL at the end and I must admit when I read it I did have a little smile!

Poppy has enjoyed looking at lots of rhyming words and brainstorming to create her verse.

Well done Poppy this is lovely! ps Miss Hedges has got dozens of cousins too!

 

Leaving Lockdown By Poppy Brisco

I want to visit the snow dome to skate on ice

Jump up in the air and spin round twice.

I’d like to have a water fight with my cousins

It will be trouble because there are dozens.

Go to the beach for some crabbing

Followed by dancing and dabbing.

Scoot to the park and meet Faye

then stay all afternoon for a long play.

 

I found this lovely poem on the internet about lockdown.

1. Practice reading it out loud to your family
2. Write 4 lines (1 verse) about what it will be like when we can all begin to do the things we love again.  It does not have to rhyme but if you can think of rhyming words it sounds better!

We can then put the verses together to make a poem of our own.

 Here is my verse

 The sun started to shine

I went to see my mum

The children came to school

And we had a lot of fun!

 

As always I look forward to seeing your work!

 

 The time we spring cleaned the world

The world it got so busy,
There were people all around.
They left their germs behind them;
In the air and on the ground.

These germs grew bigger and stronger.
They wanted to come and stay.
They didn’t want to hurt anyone –
They just really wanted to play.

Sometimes they tried to hold your hand,
Or tickled your throat or your nose.
They could make you cough and sneeze
And make your face as red as a rose.

And so these germs took over.
They started to make people ill,
And with every cough we coughed
More and more germs would spill.

All the queens and kings had a meeting.
“It’s time to clean the world up!” they said.
And so they had to close lots of fun stuff,
Just so these germs couldn’t spread.

We couldn’t go to cinemas
Or restaurants for our tea.
There was no football or parties,
The world got as quiet as can be.

The kids stopped going to school,
The mums and dads went to work less.
Then a great, big, giant scrubbing brush
Cleaned the sky and the sea and the mess!

Dads started teaching the sums,
Big brothers played with us more,
Mums were in charge of homework
And we read and played jigsaws galore!

The whole world was washing their hands
And building super toilet roll forts!
Outside was quiet and peaceful,
Now home was the place for all sports.

So we played in the world that was home
And our days filled up with fun and love,
And the germs they grew smaller and smaller
And the sun watched from up above.

Then one morning the sun woke up early,
She smiled and stretched her beams wide.
The world had been fully spring cleaned,
It was time to go back outside!

We opened our doors oh so slowly
And breathed in the clean and fresh air.
We promised that forever and always
Of this beautiful world we’d take care!

James has been very interested in volcanoes & we have watched Andy’s dinosaur adventures on CBeebies where he was looking for pumice stone which James now knows is made from cooled lava! This gave us the idea to make our own erupting volcano! We made & decorated our own volcano then used bicarbonate of soda, water, food colouring & washing up liquid, mixed them together & watched the reaction! James then had fun playing land of the dinosaurs, making a rocky landscape and helping the dinosaurs escape from the hot lava!

 

Joshua has done this lovely project about butterflies – we hope you enjoy it and Well Done Joshua!
