Art Competition

Some children in 5B have had a go at producing art work for a local competition. Children were encouraged to produce work that reflected the local culture and heritage. Here is Jahniah's work featuring Birmingham poet Benjamin Zephaniah.

Write your own Myth

Have a go at writing your own Greek Myth and post it as a comment.

Enter the Labyrinth

As part of our work on Greek Mythology children had a go at writing a short suspense paragraph about being in King Minos' Labyrinth. Here is Reece's attempt.

Wallwisher!

Wallwisher is an online Web 2.0 tool that acts like a big sticky note board. It allows lots of different users to view and post on the wall. Follow the link and have a go at posting sentences describing the Minotaur. Think about using adjectives and similes in your descriptions. Try to use a range of sentence types.

Being Scared!

Have a go at writing a short piece about being scared. Once people have had a go at writing a short piece think about giving feedback to help them improve.

Comic Life

Today some children in 5B had their first experience of Comic Life. Children were set the task of telling the story of Pandora's box in comic book form. Children used screen captures, taken from an animated version of the story, and imported them into comic life. They then added captions, speech and thoughts. Here is the first effort from Tawana and Mariama.

Wordle

Continuing with the Pandora's Box theme, children in 5B were introduced to Wordle for the first time. During a lesson about synonyms, children used the online word cloud generator to display words that might have come out of Pandora's box. Here are a few examples.
