The Beginning of an Invasion...

Yesterday, an alien invasion of St. George's Class began! We started to create the spacecraft that they will arrive in- we drew our designs, then made the flying saucers.

We used pastels, paints and some fantastic tapes kindly donated by D's family!

Next week, the aliens will be in their spaceships and flying in our classroom- we'll post some more photos when they arrive!

Doctor Who!

This week we started our exciting new topic... Doctor Who!

We started off by meeting the three main characters we will be encountering; The Doctor, Amy and Rory.

We also watched a fantastic short script written by some children in a primary school in Basingstoke in 2011, which won a competition and was actually filmed! We took this as a challenge to make sure that by the end of this unit, we will be writing adventures for the Doctor that are just as good- or perhaps even better!
