Joe's 100 Word Challenge Week 34

I was walking home one day, when I fell over and landed in a dark alley.  The coldness made me shiver as I began to stand up.  The stench of garbage lingered in the air.  My nose crincled up as the smell was unbearable.  I stumbled towards the exit but suddenly I saw a shadow cover my escape from this dingy, lifeless place.
He pulled out something shiny.  He crept closer, never lowering his weapon.  It felt like we came face to face he was that close but then he lunged forward and sank the knife into my heart. Only one question remained in my head. Why?

The year 6 leavers hoodies!

Our class and the Chestnut ( click here ) year sixes are leaving primary school in six weeks. So, to celebrate, we have all got a purple, red, or white leavers hoodie, with all of our names on the back. The names are shaped neatly in a 12 to emphasise that the year sixes are leaving in the eventful year of 2012. As the year six hoodie-fashion is sweeping across the oldest children, we have taken a photo of them. All of our class (Maple) had to pose for a picture with our backs to the camera. (See pictures below.)

What do you think of our super-stylish hoodies?

Maple Manifestos

We have been looking at the Holstee Manifesto. This was written by the american Holstee company as a reminder of what they live for. We have written our own versions of this and have felt really inspired by them.

Have a read of some of them.....we hope you are inspired too. 

The Olympic Torch Relay!!!

On Wednesday 30^th May the Olympic Torch passed through Shrewsbury and all of our school, (Greenfields) went to watch it. The atmosphere was amazing with almost 40,000 people around the town. We waited for about an hour for this exciting moment. Before the torch came past, there were lots of police, Olympic Vehicles and a few other runners in front. There was a girl named Chloe who ran with the Torch after the coaches. This experience was a once in a life time chance for some of the pupils in Greenfields.

Many children have said they enjoyed this trip and would love to see it again, (especially when they were giving out free flags and coke). Our school was so close to being on TV but missed, anyway, we all enjoyed it and so did the teachers!

Her Majesty The Queen's Jubilee Video #1

We have been celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee by writng RAPs. We decided to make a music video to go with them.  To do this, we used GarageBand, iMovie and InfinFX on our new iPads. We learned how to use all three apps and improve our ICT skills by putting all three into the one video.
This one is by Jack B, Jack N, Ashley, Michael and Matty.
