Brilliant Behaviour Week by Jaya

In Class 4 this week we have had a competition to write the best blog entry to be posted on the school blog. We have been emailing comments and feedback to each other before finally emailing the teacher with reasons for why one particular blog should be chosen. The winning blog was by Jaya - well done! Here are some of the email comments in support of this choice:

"The person I have chosen is Jaya Panesar because her blog is very interesting and not too long; it's also very descriptive."

"Hi, my vote goes to Jaya because of the language she uses."

"I think the winner should be Jaya P because it looks like a blog and has good vocabulary"

Here it is:                                              

Brilliant Behaviour Week

Monday

To start brilliant behaviour week Mr Madeley did a poetry session with us about how it feels to be bullied, using similes and metaphors.

Here is a poem Jessica Scruton did during the lesson.

I am a punching bag full of hurt, thrown on the ground, like a piece of dirt. My phone keeps bleeping, there’s no escape just leave me alone for goodness sake! I’m a hollow shell lying on the floor, loved once but not wanted any more.

After the poetry lesson we all had to think of an experience when someone was either kind or mean to you. When everyone had chosen one we took turns sitting in the hot seat telling our experiences to the class.

Tuesday

While years 5’s were out swimming the year 6’s got a head start and recreated their experiences in a freeze frame. Here is one of them:

When the year 5’s came back we did a bit of English. Our task was to write our experience with brilliant vocabulary. If we finished that we had to use a thesaurus and find better words for sad and happy.

Wednesday

As well as doing English we also did ICT work. Everyone’s freeze frame was uploaded into pupilshare were everyone could access. Next we got our picture and used the software ‘Paint’ to cut ourselves out into a white silhouette so we could move onto task two.

Task two: If people finished cutting out ourselves they would move onto using that white silhouette and writing the better words for sad and happy depending on their experience. Instead of just writing words we got to make it more fancy and make the words suit the colour and font.

Thursday

Poetry, English, ICT, Art and now Drama. Mrs Reynolds did a drama session where we were put into three groups and had to act out the 4 O’clock rap.

After the session we used our white silhouette person and had to write our experience around it. It was tricky because we had to put our drawing of our freeze frame in the printer so when we printed out our words it would be on our picture but if you didn’t tell when you were putting your work in the printer someone would print and ruin your work. Also we had to make sure our words didn’t go over the drawing. This took loads of time before everyone had theirs done.

Friday

The task today was to finish everything. Everybody had finished all the ICT work it was just colouring in around our white silhouette on paper and choosing the right colours to match the mood. If people had finished that they started on practising the poems, rap and preparing a PowerPoint presentation all to show in assembly. Here are some of the the end results:
