Welcome to Class 8

This term we have been looking at lots of exciting stories and have used them in different ways to improve our writing.  In these pictures, we are doing a hot seating exercise to get more information about the characters in Hansel and Gretel.  We used this information to write newspaper articles about their story.

In RE we have written some prayers to be said after the sacrament anointing of the sick.  We used ICT to type them and print them for our class display.  

We go to Success Maker every week to improve our ICT skills

We took part in a poetry competition organised by the Metropolitan Police & Operation Trident.  As part of their Anti-Gun Crime Initiative, we wrote poems which were then judged by Lambeth's Borough Commander Sharon Rowe.  We were lucky enough for her to come into school to announce the winners who are pictured below.

 These are the winning poems:

 BE AWARE !!

1) Friends and families are always sad

    Because there’s something in the world that’s really, really bad.

    I’ve learnt about it, it’s really true,

    These are the things that people do.

2) The weapons are called guns and knives,

    It’s mainly used to chop and loose someone’s life.

    Well let me tell you loud and clear,

    Shots and stabs must end this year.

3) So let’s put them away now,

    And think about people who are suffering and in pain in the                  third world.

    BE SAFE!!

Gun crime

Guns, guns where are you?

Guns, guns be afar.

Guns, guns stop the shooting,

Guns, guns stop the bullying.

Guns, guns are all around,

Guns, guns make that terrible sound.

People, people drop the gun,

Let other people have fun!!!!!

BE SAFE!!!

CRIME

I’m only ten, next year eleven,

By the age of 30 boys are getting up to heaven.

A boy was in a moment holding a gun,

You never know he might have a son.

There’s always people dying,

And parents are crying.

People are dying by knives,

One day people always loose their lives.

So anyone who tries to commit crime,

Remember you’re just loosing time.

Gun Crime

Too much gun crime,

Now is not the time.

Too many knives,

People need their lives.

The police are seeing,

The cameras are about.

To see who’s doing it,

Aren’t you out?

Families crying,

Guns go BOOM,

This is the time you see the doom.

Let us see,

Who shall it be?

The one with the gun,

This shall be done!

For the kids are dying,

Their mother’s crying.

What shall we do?

We shouldn’t be there standing,

SO BE SAFE!
