Food for Thought

This morning Jessica, who is a nutritionist, came and talked to us about foods. We talked about everyday and occasional foods. We discussed vitamins and minerals and what we need for different things, like Vitamin C helps us fight of illnesses.

We know that Hugo needs lots of Calcium to help mend his bone.

Vitamin A helps out eyesight.

Vitamin B help to unlock energy inside out bodies.

Vitamin D comes from the sun and helps with strong bones.

Vitamin E helps our skin.

Fruits and veges are hopefully our favourite food group! We talked about the importance of eating five handfuls of fruits and veges each day.

Tomorrow we will talk about labelling before heading to the supermarket on Wednesday morning.

Year 5 Poets

This morning we were inspired by William Wordsworth's I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud. We talked about joy and feeling this when we are alone.

Maddox
As I stare into the distance
A bubble surrounds me
I feel calm and safe.

I float into the sky
And peer down
At the daffodils and trees.

A wide ocean appears below me
The sun spears through
Warmth and joy engulf me
My bubble pops
And I fall down,
Down to my future.



Greta
As I walk alone
Thoughts rush through my head
Waves dance in the ocean
Calling my name.

I look back,
At an endless trail of footsteps.
Joy chases away loneliness
Warmth and freedom envelope me.



Gabriela
As I stare into the distance,
I see grass fluttering and dancing in the breeze,
I feel freedom, serenity.
All my memories flash in front of me.

At last I listen to the inward eye,
Solitude guiding me to my future.
I will not back down
For I am my own leader.



Noah
I look upon the misty skies
Skeletal trees caressing my skin
As I see through my memories.

The sea envelopes me
Transferring me to the seabed
I am happy the way I am.



Maddy
As I walk in solitude
Thoughts swarm through my mind
I stare into the distance
Serenity envelopes me
Glee caresses my skin.

Leaves dance through the wind
My footsteps trail behind me
I step into an unknown land of hope
I am not lost, I am exploring,
My destiny awaits.


Maniah
As I look around
Forlorn trees envelope me in darkness
Suddenly a light appears
My heart stops
Calmness and solitude caress my skin.

Joy reaches out for me
I feel like I'm in another realm
A host of blossoms bloom and waves dance
I fill with joy,
My destiny awaits.

Finish Line in Sight

This afternoon the finish line is in sight for many of our wearable arts groups!

Finally a coloured snake!

Ben Taught Us!

This morning Ben taught us the word vanquished! It means to defeat or kill. So many of our year 6s used it in their poems this morning. Thank you Mr Coughlan!

Connor
Beyond this land
Animals lie
Merciless to all
Tenacious creatures lurk
Beneath the trees.

The sun illuminates
The crystal lake
Claiming it
His own.

Playful kids
Come out to play
Scattering out with their coppice sleigh.



Ella
The dormant forest rests for the night,
As the sun sets down on the snowy horizon
Wind whistles across the forest floor
And off to its silent lair.

The sun vanquished
And snow no longer caressing the ground.
Grotesque creatures come out to play,
Lurking into the forest.

They tumble and howl all through the night
But when their time comes
They trudge off
Leaving the trees desolate.



Leon
As the downy flakes
Eddy against winter's breeze,
The dormant clock ticks no more.

The frosty dregs
Rest upon the ground
Capturing the forlorn flakes.

Cold shards of light
Vanquish the heat
Making winter dominant
Creatures flee
Leaving the forest serene.



Lochie
As winter comes
The sun fades, dormant
Snow blankets the forest.

Bears start their hibernation
Birds fall but the white wolves
Are predators to all prey.

The white wolves feed for their cubs
To give them strength
Silently lurking
The forest wolf can hear nothing
But his heavy breath.

The days are dark,
The nights are cold
But the wolves now sleep.
