What a lovely first week back we've all had. At the start of the week, the children all had a chance to finish off their electronic games in Design Technology. I'm sure you'll all agree, they look fantastic!

On Thursday, we enjoyed a walk up to Cosdon Beacon as part of our first day of the John Muir Award. The children had a fantastic time discovering Dartmoor and looking at the surroundings in detail. We have also had confirmation that we will be able to visit Shapley Common for our second day which is great news! More information about this will follow soon.

Have a lovely weekend everyone and enjoy the sunshine!

It's been a busy end to the term with writing poetry based on The Three Brothers (the tale from Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows). The children have all worked incredibly hard to retell the story using different poetic forms. This week they have been busy writing acrostic poetry, cinquains and haikus.

Three brothers walking at twilight,
Holding their wands.
Eventually, they came to a river too treacherous to cross.
Death guarded the river.
Evading Death, they built a bridge; they were learned in the magical arts.
Advancing towards them was Death.
The three brothers were worried.
He looked at the brothers,
Leaning forward.
Yet, still beyond
His cloak, they
Advanced slowly. He 
Laughed, 
Loudly, There brothers were
Oblivious to the fact Death was in front of them.
Wisely, Death made them a
Superior offer.


Eldest
Brother asked for
The most powerful wand
In existence. So Death produced
Him one.

Then the
Second brother
Asked to see loved ones. So
Death plucked a riverbed stone to
Give him.

The final brother
Was humble and asked for the
Ability to

Travel without Death
Following close behind him.
Death, reluctantly,

Handed over his
Invisibility cloak.
The first brother went

To an old village
In hopes of finding a man
The brother had once

Quarreled with, so he
Killed the wizard. Still drunk with
Joy, he fell asleep.

I hope you all have a really lovely Easter with your families and that we can all enjoy some more sunshine. 

Have a fantastic couple of weeks!
