Easter Play

Congratulations to everyone involved in the Easter play- it was wonderful! We did two performances on Tuesday and we had lots of lovely comments and compliments about the production. One teacher even said that it was the best Easter Play she had ever seen!
Well done children- you worked hard and performed so well- you should all be very proud of yourselves. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we all did.
Thank you to all of the adults who helped us at school and thank you to parents, carers, friends and families who helped to make the excellent costumes and came to watch and support the Middle School.
Have a fantastic Easter!

Easter Play Costumes
It will soon be time to perform our Easter play! Our production of 'Easter Children' will be performed on Tuesday 26th March. We now need to organise our costumes! All the children in Year 3 will need a green tunic or toga (remembering that this is not a play set in modern times- so nothing modern please!) and the children in Year 4 have all been given a picture of what their costume needs to look like. If you need any help, or if you cannot provide a costume, for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can help! The Roman soldiers and guards will have their costumes provided by the school.
These links will help if you are not sure how to make a tunic or toga- they are very simple!

The Magic Box
Last week, we read one of Miss Benn's favourite poems, 'The Magic Box' by Kit Wright. We loved the images he uses and the way he plays with opposites. Some of the children really enjoyed the impossible things he puts in his box. After spending some time looking at this poem, we read some similar poems written by other children and shared what we liked most about them.
The Magic Box
I will put in the box,
The swish of a silk sari on a summer night,
Fire from the nostrils of a Chinese dragon,
The tip of a tongue touching a tooth.
I will put in the box,
The swish of a silk sari on a summer night,
Fire from the nostrils of a Chinese dragon,
The tip of a tongue touching a tooth.
I will put in the box,
A snowman with a rumbling belly,
A sip of the bluest water from Lake Lucerne,
A leaping spark from an electric fish.
A snowman with a rumbling belly,
A sip of the bluest water from Lake Lucerne,
A leaping spark from an electric fish.
I will put into the box,
Three violet wishes spoken in Gujarati,
The last joke of an ancient uncle,
And the first smile of a baby.
Three violet wishes spoken in Gujarati,
The last joke of an ancient uncle,
And the first smile of a baby.
I will put into the box,
A fifth season and a black sun,
A cowboy on a broomstick
And a witch on a white horse.
A fifth season and a black sun,
A cowboy on a broomstick
And a witch on a white horse.
My box is fashioned from ice and gold and steel,
With stars on the lid and secrets in the corners.
Its hinges are the toe joints of dinosaurs.
With stars on the lid and secrets in the corners.
Its hinges are the toe joints of dinosaurs.
I shall surf in my box,
On the great high-rolling breakers of the wild Atlantic,
Then wash ashore on a yellow beach,
The colour of the sun.
On the great high-rolling breakers of the wild Atlantic,
Then wash ashore on a yellow beach,
The colour of the sun.

We thought about the things we would like to put in a Magic Box- and Miss Benn brought out a Magic Box for us to look at. Then, we wrote some poems of our own, here are some great examples:
