Jack and the Hairy Alien Ogre

Can you guess which famous story this was inspired by? "Jack and the Beanstalk" of course!!!

Spacebow Bird

This story was inspired by the Australian traditional tale "Rainbow Bird."

Space Rabbit

Last term we read a North American traditional tale called "How Rabbit stole the Fire." This group decided to write a story which had a rabbit as the main character, and the poor rabbit had had its jewellery stolen by some aliens....

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

This story is of course based on the well known tale "The Three Billy Goats Gruff," but it is set in Space!

Planting Lettuce

We have been talking about how the sun gives us food by helping plants to grow. Mrs Elmore, the Environmental Education teacher and Mrs Bracewell helped us to plant some lettuce. We are going to use our lettuce to make some yummy sandwiches later on this term. Miss Brookshaw did some filming of our planting! Here is a little video of what we did.

Our Place in Space

Our new topic is "Our Place in Space" and we are finding out about the sun, the moon and Planet Earth. To start the term we brainstormed all our ideas about these things to see what we know already. Miss Brookshaw typed up what we said on the smartboard. She was really amazed by what we came up with! And at the end of the term hopefully we will know lots more!

Comparing two stories

Recently we have read two traditional tales from different parts of the world. We read "Rainbow Bird" from Australia and "How Rabbit stole the Fire" from North America. We found that there were lots of differences and similarities between the stories. Here is a compare map we have made about them. You can make it bigger by clicking on it.
