After Alan and Ivy's visit, Year 6 have listened to an audio clip of a man recounting his time in the volunteer fire service during the Blitz and watched a documentary about the bombing of Coventry. Here are a few of our poems.

Blitz 

The full Moon I was daunted
I felt like that night we were haunted
Then loud and clear came the air raid siren.
Finally came the roar of German planes
We were stuck in a prison of horror and shame.
14th of November who would guess
I felt like Coventry would never rest.
I could feel the pounding of my heart.
It was speeding like a car
But it wasn’t getting very far.
I could hear the screeching of a bomb
Maybe later our house would be gone.
I looked out of the taped window.
There was dark red blood all around
Bricks and burnt body bits on the ground.

More Tales from Dunkirk

Bit by bit Private Robinson scanned the beach; it was like a living nightmare. The muddy sand, the smell of smoke and flesh, the sound of people singing and praying. It was all too much for him. Thoughts were flying through the Private’s head as a boiling sweat ran down him.

Then Private Robinson started walking, not going anywhere just walking. After a bit he found himself gazing at a group of soldiers singing hymns with their heads held up high. Just then a tear rolled down Private Robinson’s cheek, tickling him as it did. He knew there was no hope.

Before long Private Robinson started walking again, he felt like his body was deceiving him, like his blood had stopped. Finally a speck started to crawl across the ocean. Private Robinson could tell it was a boat,  “I…I…I’m going home!” he cried.

During transition week some of the Year 5 children made sculptures in the style of Alberto Giacometti.  Elias said he found it hard to write what he did as a set of instructions.

How to Make a Giacometti Sculpture

What you need: Tin foil,

                            Pipe cleaners

                            And paint

       

∙First make a loop in a pipe cleaner

∙Then put a pipe cleaner in front of the looped pipe cleaner

∙After that twirl the right end of the second pipe cleaner round the middle of

  the looped pipe cleaner

∙Last but not least wrap tinfoil round the legs arms body and head, then if you

  want paint it a dark colour

∙Finally stick plastacine to the feet and then stick it on black card.
