more Black History

Following on from Krishari's work here is Patience's article about the 'Rumble in the Jungle.'

 He stings like a bee 

 Muhammad Ali triumphed last night to beat the big, ugly bear George Foreman. This strong lean fighting machine knocked out his opponent using a technique known as “Rope-A-Dope”. After being banned from the game he loves for three and a half years he came back fighting for his title. Not expected or favoured to win, Ali still persevered. Beginning in the second round, Ali began to act out his master plan and started laying on the ropes allowing Foreman to give him some energy burning punches to the body. Ali’s bravery shined to take such a punishment. When the big, scary dragon Foreman began tiring Ali began to hit more effectively and then Muhammad’s golden hit arrived he swung and the big, scary tiger was no more. Ali commented “That big ugly beast was not that hard but now he is like a cute furry hamster I am the greatest.”

Jesse Owens newspaper article.

As part of our Black and Asian history celebration children wrote newspaper articles about significant events. Here is Krishari's article about Jesse Owens and the 1936 Olympic games. Jesse Owens, the fastest man on earth, won a significant four gold medals in Berlin, in front of Hitler. Hitler was annoyed. Owens had proved him wrong and showed that all men are equal and can attend the Olympics. No one in Berlin was able to beat him. He never gave up and neither should you. He worked so hard to achieve his gold medal and it was a beautiful success. When Owens first attended the Olympics he felt scared. He was scared because he was one of the few black people that attended but when he came first, he was blown away with surprise after everyone cheered for him. He was like a mega running machine. I’m sure after he came first, Hitler’s face burst with jealousy. Jesse Owens is a man and was born a man. Jesse Owens has saved the U.S.A. On August 3, he won the amazing 100m sprint. Later in the the week he won the 200m, the long jump and the 4x100m relay. Jesse Owens' achievement is huge because, I’ll tell you what, no one else has won more than four gold medals except him. People say that Jesse Owens is a hero.

Explanation Texts

This week in Literacy we have been looking at explanation texts. Here Krishari has tried to explain how Mr Broadfield lost his hair! Eli has had a go too!


Mr B, a year 5 and 6 teacher, lost his afro by using something he shouldn’t have used in the first place. Who could solve the mystery of the afro loss? Well this is how it all happened. Mr Broadfield, last week Sunday, was out all night and was too lazy to get up the following morning. He had a quick hot shower and rushed so much he used red hair dye. He came out the shower, looked in the mirror and screamed “AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. I’ve ruined my afro. What am I going to do? Well the only thing I can do is......Cut of my beautiful afro.” Looks like it was goodbye afro and hello baldy. “Oh no I’ve turned into..... MR BALDY! Looks like Mr Broadfield is going to be like this forever.

On the fourth day of the summer holidays my fab teacher Mr. Broadfield was up at 7:00 am exactly. He got dressed, washed behind his ears and brushed his teeth in record timing. Today Mr B was going bungee jumping ! Off a Helicopter! Over the Ocean! He’s incredibly brave. Mr. B drove like lightning in his lambagine towards the airport. It was a beautiful day. As he arrived at the airport he could see the helicopter glistening in the breeze. The helicopter took off as soon as he got on. It was nearly time to jump. He tied the string around his leg and before he could stop himself he jumped out like a kangaroo! The pilot told him to stop but it was too late. Mr B’s hair had gone! What would the pupils at St. Mary’s say?
