Cyber Bulling Posters

Every Friday we get taught by Mrs Carter because her class has to go swimming. This week and last week she has been teaching us about e-safety. We created e-safety posters and on the posters it is explaining what e-safety is. We did the poster for anyone who does not understand what e-safety is. 

At this moment in time, the posters are being judged by Mr Edwards. We will hopefully be finding out who the winners are next week.

Magical World Of Myst

In our class we have been using a game called Myst to inspire our imagination and improve our English. We created adverts about why you should buy Myst. This week we have been writing diary entries to do with Myst. We have been having an amazing time playing in the world of Myst.

We have been looking at poetry in English and writing our own poetry. In Mathematics we have been working out percentages based on the twelve days of Christmas.

  Pantomime Time!   

Fascinated!

On Friday 5th December, the whole school visited the Churchill Theatre, situated in   enchanted Bromley. A land full of castles, fairies, witches, forest and a spinning wheel! The evil Carabosse had cast a spell on the beautiful Princess, and she was doomed to sleep for a hundred years. Only a kiss from her true love could break the spell. We all went along to help the Prince to enter the hidden and cursed castle and rescue the Princess.

Two children went on stage!

This is what we thought of our experience..........

"The pantomime was the highlight of my time at Downsview!"

                      

"I loved it! It was the highlight of the year. There is only one word to describe it, amazing!"

"I liked the fire part because it was so scary."

"The pantomime was exciting and funny. I really enjoyed the ice cream and loved watching."

"We walked to the station and sang 'Are we nearly there yet' from the Xmas play!"

"I loved it when the toys came alive!"

The witch was scary because she was green!"

"There was a fantastic ending! Silly Billy was very funny but my favourite person was the princess. The prince was Rob from Coronation Street."

"I liked the songs and the witch!"

Thanks to all the parents, governors and teachers who helped make this possible.

What a fantastic day!
