MARCUS MOORE VISIT

Marcus Moore is a writer and he came in to talk to us about his favourite children s book and inspire us to write. 
He read a book called Animal Lore which was about making new animals by combining the halves of two animals. We thought it was a really fun book and Marcus has some very funny rhymes he had written about the animals. 
The children likes the names of the new animals  If you cross a cow and a horse you get a corse. If you cross an elephant with a dog you get an elephog. You get the idea!! 
We then created our own animals and wrote about them.

FABULOUS CASTLES

In D.T. we designed and made Castles in groups. We have finished our castles this week and we are really pleased with the outcome. Thank you for all the boxes you sent in!!
