St Joseph and St Bede Performance Poetry ‘Staying Awake’
We learned and performed one of the poems from Message from the Moon. We really enjoyed the variety of poems and using rhythm and rhyme to enhance our reading. We especially enjoyed using actions to help us to remember the words.

Rare Dragon
Our Rare Dragon is made up of a combination of individual ideas from our 6 Reading Gladiators. The King would be so desperate to capture our dragon because he is unique. The OLOL Dragon has a colourful body so that he can camouflage in any adventure. He has fire proof claws and his tongue holds fire breathing powers. At the end of his 20 foot ice tail there is an electric sting. His tail also powers him through water. The strong spikes down his back are for protection against any human or beast that tries to cause him danger. His blue and purple wings help him to fly in the moonlight. When he is in extreme danger, he can shrink down to the size of a mouse.

Submission by Holcombe Brook
Music for the Bala Mengro
We decided to start our music with a call to the Bala Mengro so we started with our ‘guitars’. Next we started to quicken up our music and Ruby played her collection of instruments. We thought the Bala Mengro would be ready to stamp and dance now so we quickened the beat and made it louder with our homemade shakers. Finally we finished with a slower, quieter tinkling sound made by coins in a clean sock. We had great fun.

The Library at Snarksville
We discussed the description in the book. We then drew it. We decided that if book characters did actually escape from books then they’d cause lots of trouble!

The Secret Railway-We loved it!
We loved all the twists and turns in this book. We loved how Ella and Leo were so different. Leo was the protector. Ella was adventurous. We also loved learning new words and their meanings. Here we looked at the meaning of ‘Scrap’ and came up lots of ideas.

Hi Whitefield Gladiators! You have been thinking widely and deeply about some of the word you have encountered in your reading. Thank you for sharing with us. -
Erica’s Elephant
At SJSB we discussed what we already knew about elephants before reading the novel. We then made a PicCollage of our ideas. We even got a tweet back from the author! How exciting!

Thinking about the orge
We read the description of the orge from the farmer’s daughter. We drew what we thought he looked like and what we know about him at the moment. We thought about things we could infer from this description too.
