5th & 6th Class have just finished reading the novel ‘The Summer I Robbed a Bank’ by David O’ Doherty.

In the final chapter, the main characters awoke one morning to find lots of money had washed up on the beach. There was a news crew there to get the local people’s reactions. We decided to recreate the news reports for fun with Mr. Madden as our film director. Check them out below! (The bloopers reel is at the end of the page too!)

^{Holocaust Memorial Day}

^{International Holocaust Memorial Day is on 27th January every year. We took part in the Crocus Project this year to remember those who died in the Holocaust.}

^{The Holocaust was the organised murder of 6,000,000 Jewish people and hundreds of thousands of other victims, by the Nazis and their collaborators.}

^{We planted yellow Crocuses to remember one and a half million Jewish children and thousands of other children who died in the Holocaust. The yellow colour of the flowers reminds us of the yellow Stars of David that Jews were forced to wear under Nazi rule. The flowers remind us of all of the children who perished in the Holocaust.}

Our Crocuses will bloom in February.

There are hot sandwiches, hot chicken curry, hot pasta (with or without sauce) and a lot more delicious items on their menu. Here are some pictures of some of the foods to get an example…

Hi, we’re back with part two of the new classroom blog. The windows are in and one door is in. They have put the frame of the roof on. And they have started putting on the tiles for the roof. And they’re louder than our class. WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE BLOG.
