Wake Up and Shake Up

2D shapes

2nd class were busy creating some interesting 2D pictures recently. 

Space

 We are learning all about space at the moment. We now know the Solar System  and how the rotation of the earth causes day and night. Thanks to Jack we even got to sample some astronaut ice-cream this morning.

                 We also wrote some space stories and were very busy this afternoon typing them.

Voices whisper from the trees

My shadow really scared me,

I got such a fright.

The ghosts come out everywhere,

The broomstick will fly,

Under the witches headstone,

What will happen now?

Autumn leaves

The leaves blowing down,

Whishing and whooshing around,

Making the trees bare.

Halloween has blood,

The witches make spells slowly,

Your worst nightmare.

Cobwebs in the corner,

Beware of big spiders spell,

Goodbye, Stay Alive.

strike, everyone dies, Witches 

kill, and make a spell.

Scary Things

Goblins are scary,

Werewolves and ghosts are scary too,

Black cats under spells.

The banshee screams,

There is a knock on your door,

Death is in the air.
