What should I read first?

January 5, 2012 11:14 am Mr Smith 56 Comments

Lots of children received books as Christmas presents and they have given me several recommendations.  The trouble is, I love reading and want to read them all but don’t know where to start, especially as these books are parts of a larger series.  I need some help! Which of these three books should I read first? You need to bear in mind I will then need to read the rest of the series because I always get hooked on a series once I start.  Please help, giving the reasons for your suggestion.  The books are:

Thank you.  Mr Smith.

Update: Monday 9th January 2012

Thank you for all your comments over the weekend. At the moment The Diary of a Wimpy Kid has the most recommendations.  I will wait a little longer before making my choice and I will then let you know how I am getting on.

Air Raid in Year 6

December 16, 2011 10:11 am Mr Smith 33 Comments

On Tuesday, Mr Smith bombed the hangers we had constructed to protect our carefully constructed model Airfix spitfires.  He asked us to place our hanger on a target, to place our model inside the hanger and then he dropped two 100g bombs on top of the hanger from a height of 2 metres.  Here is the Year 6 Nessfield Spitfire squadron 2011.

Here are clips of 4 of the “air raids”.  Click on the word in bold to view the video.

Aesop is Fable-ous!

November 10, 2011 9:57 pm Mr Smith 8 Comments

Last Friday the children saw an in-school theatre production of Aesop’s ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’.

Aesop was an ancient Greek story teller who lived 2500 years ago. Many of his stories featured animals and they all had a message.  Click on the dog below to hear the fable:The Dog and his Shadow.

What did you think the message in this story was?

Tell us about your favourite fable and the reason you like it so much.

How To Blog Safely…

October 18, 2011 7:18 pm jlangley 21 Comments

A blog can be very exciting, it allows people from all over the world to read our work and make comments. We need to remember to follow a few simple rules to stay safe and to get the most out of our blog.

  • Children are to only use their first name when commenting.
  • Parents who leave comments are asked to use their first name only so as not to identify their child. Or post comments as “Harry’s Mum” or “Megan’s Grandfather”.
  • All posts will be checked by school staff before they are published to the blog.
  • All comments are moderated by school staff before they appear on the blog.
  • Always be respectful for other people’s work – be positive if you are going to comment.
  • No text talk – write in full sentences and read your comments back carefully before submitting.

These rules should help to make the blog a safe and exciting home for our work.
