One Childhood, One Chance

Home learning for Thursday 14th May

Thursday 14th May:     

Morning Team Sky and Team Ocean!  Have you had a go at Mr Lowther's throwing and catching challenge yet? I didn't have a ball so I had a go with some socks - it's actually quite hard! 

The padlet is still there for you to use, you may just have to go onto the second page of posts to find it :) Just look for the tropical scene of the blue sky and turquoise ocean! Can you spot what we did there?!

Playlist:  We hope you are enjoying The Beatles! Do you have a favourite song?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCtzkaL2t_Y&list=RDEMDwfWqCd9jXCuVO7pjkJHTw&start_radio=1 The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With a line-up comprising John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they are regarded as the most influential band of all time. 

Fact of the day: A tiger’s roar can be heard up to 2 miles away!  2 miles is about a 40 minute walk!

Zones of Regulation » King Athelstan Primary School, Inspiring ...Morning Journal:   If you could choose a new name, what would you pick? Why? 

 Feelings:  What colour are you on this morning? I am feeling on green today, I am feeling ready to start my day with a focussed mind.  

 Guided Reading and English:

It is so lovely to hear you are enjoying the poetry this week. Take a look at Harrison and Max's illustrations they created for the poem 'The Millipede' and Adam's wordle that he created when organising the verbs and adjectives on yesterdays poem. If you click on the link (Hopefully it works!) you can even see Theo's fantastic performance of 'The Millipede' https://share.icloud.com/photos/0ZLDKLpvEfjrTmHL3hTndTgew#Minster

 

 

Day three of the writing challenge and we have a video bonanza for you today! Not one, but TWO videos! And starring the famous Mr McAuley himself! However, these are not for the faint-hearted. Mr McAuley has to delve into one of his phobias and defend his property from attack! 

I hope you enjoy the videos  along with the poems and as ever, I hope that Mertyn Harvey's poems inspire you to search for living things around you and consider what their lives could possible be like.

The writing competition will be released tomorrow along with more fantastic poems from Martyn Harvey, so put you creative hats on, explore what lives around you and enjoy the videos!

Todays poem is called... Slug – The Gardener’s Prayer.  

(for "Birds, Beasts & Biscuits") 

"A Gardener's Prayer" 

(for Peter Manning) 

 

Of all Thy creatures, great and small, 

- the bird, the beast, the bug… 

  - the only one I truly hate? 

   - Thy slippery little slug! 

 

His greedy underbelly and his 

   slimy leather back… 

   - He seems to turn up everywhere 

    - in every bleedin' crack! 

 

The wurm improves the soil (they say) 

   - his lowly place, he earns… 

   but Slug? He eateth all and giveth 

      nothing in return! 

 

He waiteth 'til I go to bed 

   and turneth off my light… 

      - then rummages round my greenhouse, Lord… 

      Every Bloomin' Night! 

 

And when I wake, refreshed, and calm 

  - the long night's demons beaten… 

   What anger riseth in my soul, 

    - to find my seedlings - EATEN! 

 

He eateth ev'ry luscious leaf… 

   - Thy turnip and tomato… 

    - Thy carrot and Thy cabbage and 

        Thy parsnip and potato! 

 

Oh Lord, Ye give my garden blooms 

   and shrubs - both great and small… 

     and then you go and give us, too 

        Thy Slug - to eat  them all! 

 

And Tho' I'm sure this beast is part 

   of Thy Great Eco-System… 

    - I've never met a Gard'ner, Lord, 

      - who'd ever bloomin' miss 'em! 

 

Dear Lord, I pray, to wake one day 

  (I hope it's not too long…) 

      and find, to my eternal joy 

       … that all Thy Slugs… 

               …have gone!
