Weekly News 30 Nov


This week, we have been exploring the myth of the Kraken and have written class poems inspired by the appearance of this terrifying monster in ‘Pugs of the Frozen North’. If you would like to read the Giraffe’s poem, I have attached it below. Be careful not to read it too late at night! We are now following the Great North Race and have been drawing maps to show our understanding.

In Maths, we have continued to explore the effects of dividing by one, and have been representing our thinking with bar models. We are also looking at multiplication and division facts for the 6 times table.

This week, The Giraffes have been very busy with Lions and the year 3 classes rehearsing for our play, ‘Bah Humbug!’ the singing is already amazing and next week we need to ensure that the Children are able to say their lines without having their scripts on stage. The help that you give your children with this is greatly appreciated.

The Kraken

Kraken sneaks sneakily
With long scary tentacles
Ice breaking like glass
Dropping from the sky

Clear crackling ice with slimy slithery Kraken rising,
Massive rock tentacles
As frightening as a great white shark
As long as six pythons

Body rising like snakes
Most ancient, enormous fearful Kraken.
Skin silver like a shark
Enormous like skyscrapers

Overwhelming power and destruction
Fearless danger
Snaky tentacles like endless roller coasters
Fast as a bullet, demands power
Gliding through darkness.

Slithering like snakes
Eyes full of fear
Frightening, sharp beak, tearing  prey.
Scraping sharp points.

Big bulging eyes like giants
Crashing on the sea like huge waves
Sharp, strong killing claws
Body like red-hot steaming lava.

You will never see it coming.
