Performed in assembly in front of KS2. The School and Mrs Sibley are very proud of their efforts.

Every Tuesday we have been working with a visitor to do some drama relating to our topic ‘Emergency.’ This has included a group dance, story telling using drama and acting out emergency scenarios.

This week we really enjoyed choosing our own groups to rehearse and make up our own dance. We performed our routines to the class, we made sure that all 4 emergency services were included. These were the; coast guards, ambulance, police and fire services.

Here are some stars and wishes about each groups performance.

We have been working really hard in groups this week designing and making our Roman Villages. We have used many different resources for these, our favourite has been clay.

Tomorrow when our models are  dry we will paint them and add further details.

Well done to all of the Bearwood Crew performing their Phantom of the Opera routine @ Dudley Town Hall on Tuesday 28th March.

Here are some examples of short burst writing that we did on Friday. We based them on an example first person recount and adapted it to fit part of a recount about Mount Vesuvius erupting, which we are learning about at the moment.

After one hour of running like a maniac I could finally see the boats swaying side to side like a cradle. I noticed straight away that the azure blue sky was gone. A strong wind of ash was coming in my direction, people were screaming and running away. Eventually, I got onto the boat and the ash crept closer.  (By Priya)

After two tortuous hours of racing against time, we finally found the boats swiftly dancing  back and forth on the bouncy waves below. We. It iced straight away that a blanket of thick black smoke was escaping the mouth of the volcano. (By Allayna)

After one hour of running endlessly for my life I finally saw the boats of the port. I looked behind. I saw the lava racing down like Usain Bolt towards me head first. I thought my life was over but giving up was not my style. So I ran and ran. I made it. (By Bilal)

This morning we had visitors come in and teach us drama skills. We had to work as a team to create a type of transport, using our body parts to connect us to others in the class.

At first we had to create an action about what we think the future might look like. Then the whole class created a time machine to go into the future. We had to make movements and noises for our machine. We really enjoyed working as a team to make the time machine, tell us what you think by commenting below.
