Class 3 @ Walcott & Martin: Oliver Diary Entries

At both Walcott and Mrs Mary King’s Primary School, the children have been working extremely hard writing diary entries. Linked to the Oliver Twist book, the children have been imagining that they are Oliver Twist and have written a diary entry as him. We would love to know what you think of them.

What have they done well? What could they do to make it even better for next time?

A Quick Short Film Review

During golden time, some children watched a Pixar Short named ‘For All  The Birds’

“I really liked the film because it was really funny. My favourite part was where all of the baby birds flew up in the air!” Lucas

“I liked the part where the birds were all fighting because it made me laugh. I think my brother would like this film too!” Joseph

“I thought it was great because the little birds lost their feathers and it was funny!” Sasha

 

Welcome to the Blog!

Welcome to the Walcott Primary School & Mrs Mary King’s Primary School Blog!

We are very excited to have a blogging site set up for both schools. It will be an opportunity for children at Walcott and Martin to share their work, in a safe and monitored place. It will also allow the children from both schools to comment on each other’s work.

In our internet safety assembly, we came up with the following rules:

  1. Only use your first name – no surnames
  2. Keep safe – don’t reveal any personal information.
  3. Write in good English – including grammar and punctuation.
  4. Be polite – Don’t post anything that could hurt anyone.
  5. Always show respect – be positive if you are going to comment.
  6. If parents comment, please sign comments in the following way: first name of child + mum/dad e.g. ‘Tracy’s Mum’
  7. Remember, all posts and comments are checked by a teacher before they are published.

We’d love to know what you think about our blogging rules! Please comment below. If you have any questions or concerns about the blog, please speak to Mr McCann.
