Poet of the Week...so far!!

The Woodpeckers have been writing poetry based on The Story Cage written by Pie Corbett.

The Story Cage

Quietly,

Aladdin strolled

through the enchanted cave

when his eyes glistened

with gold and silver.

Carefully,

Jack climbed up

on the beanstalk

'til he found the castle up on high.

Happily,

Cinderella was dancing

with the prince

knowing that the

shoe would fit.

Crime Scene Reporters

Children at Mark C of E First School have recently discovered some mysterious events taking place within the school grounds. Unidentified tracks, footprints and crime scenes have all inspired the children to write these ‘factual’ newspaper articles. Although the mysteries are yet to be solved, the children can reassure you that there is nothing to worry about! 

      On the 9^th of October, Friday, the Woodpecker class adventured into their forest area to do a literacy lesson.

Weirdly a child named Josh saw thin tracks in the grass. The member of the class said, “I think the tracks were motorbike tracks!” Then the class noticed that the gate to the forest area was open wide.

One of the class members of the class said “When I saw the gate open.” The class went through the gate over to the log circle. When they went to explore they found a crime scene! The crime scene had tape and food items.

Mrs La Croix a teacher in the school, saw a mysterious black figure the day before the class saw the crime scene heading to the forest area.

CLUES OF A CRIME IN OUTDOORS.  

Woodpeckers discover crime in outdoors when doing work on the 9^th of October.

After some exploring they discovered a basket with food all over the place.  Some sort of struggle had been going on!

On the way to the outdoors, detective Josh spotted tracks.

“I think it was a bike!”

After they spotted the struggle someone spotted a hole in the wire gate!

Roxie had hunch. “The Troll probably did it!”

This mystery lays there unsolved…

Crime Class

By Eanna

On Friday 9^th October 2015  Woodpecker  class  went down  to  Mark  outdoor classroom. They went down to do literacy but didn’t get to for strange reasons.

Local school boy Josh  discovered tracks across the field and that the gate was open as well.  Josh said that he thought the tracks were  from a motorbike.

Mrs La Croix, year two teacher,  said she saw a shadowy figure walking across the field on Thursday 8^th  October 2015.

Woodpeckers walked down to the out door class room and were feeling surrouned by crime mysteries. They walked in and  sat on the logs in the log circle.

Briony said “ I’ve got scratches on my log.”

 Woodpecker teacher explained the literacy lesson and they all went off. One of the boys said, “There are apples in a basket , 90%  coco chocolate a cracked egg , a box of eggs and some squash.”

Year four didn’t find out what happened but were suspicious too.
