Today we had two Police officers visit. Constable Sam and Sergeant Andrea helped us to learn about Secrets, Bribes and Tricks.

Keeping Ourselves Safe

This term we are learning to keep ourselves safe. This week we are trying to keep an egg safe.
Our teacher gave each of us an egg to care for. We have to look after it for four days. Three people have broken their eggs already and Cole's egg has got a brain injury and needs a sticky plaster.
It's really hard looking after something so delicate.

Some Incredible Writing!

We watched the you tube clip about Felix who jumped out of a capsule to break the world record for the fastest and highest sky dive. We wrote how Felix must have felt...


As I looked out of the hatch, I thought "Oh Man, why did I decide to do this!"
I was frozen. Absolutely terrified of what I was about to do.
My helmet was fogging up. I felt horribly sick. I had come this far, but was it enough. Suppose something went wrong.
I pushed that thought out of my mind and...
Jumped!

By Ben Ch

I stepped to the exit.
No... I stepped back.
I breathed heavily. I stepped to the exit one last time and stayed there.
I looked down and saw the desert.
" I believe I can do it." I say to myself over and over again.
I leap.
"Wow I can't believe it I did it! I did it!"

By Jamie

I can't believe there is a possibility that I might die right now. I really regret this. But I might win a world record- which choice should I take?
Goosebumps were crawling all over me.
I'll do it!

In room 14 we had a present . When it came in mrs McKendry said that we couldn't open it till Valentines Day. On Valentines Day we all sat round the box. it was very exciting and interesting. Then Mrs McKendry came in. I was very impatient to open the present. Finally one by one the kids took off the wrapper. Finally Mrs McKendry opened the box. Inside was a brain. I felt a little disappointed. I thought it was going to be abox of chocolates. But anyway it was fun and now we have a new topic. By Ben chittock

The Present

Well your probably wondering why my title is called the present. Well Miss Mckendry thought that since valentines day is coming up she might give the kids a little suprise. At first we didn't know what it was so we guessed. None of us got it right and it was quite hard. But then miss Mckendry wrote "do not open till valentines day"! Then on valentines day we were so excited and when we we're revealing the present everybody was hoping that it was something special. It was a BRAIN! After it was over I felt like I wanted another present. By Sheridan' Brookes room14

Hazel's amazing writing

On Valentines day after lunch room 14 got to open a present! The present was a brain. Before opening the present I felt excited. When I saw what it was I was absolutely horrified. She put a brain in there because we are going to learn about it.
Mrs McKendry put the present down and we opened it. It was a skeleton with a brain inside it. I was horrified that it was a skeleton. Chelsea
