Robot adventures by Archie and Louis


Class 8’s adventure for a robot.

 

On Monday Mrs Down told us that one of our fabulous robots had gone missing. When it was break time everyone watched Mrs Down because they thought Mrs Down would hide the robot while we are playing so we don’t see it when we come in.

Mrs Down said ‘Your robot is missing solve the clues and it will be returned quietly. It sits amid the busy world of school. Await ransom note 2.’

Mrs Down said that we could read ransom note 2 . It said if you listen carefully you can hear a tapping sound. We all thought that it was in the library but it wasn’t. Await ransom note 3.

Then on Tuesday we read ransom note 3. It said that it sits and looks at small ones. We thought that it was still in the library for some reason. But it was not. We really didn’t know where it was.

We really were stuck until we read ransom note 4 - we knew it was in an office or the library. We awaited ransom note 5.

On Friday we got the last note it said ‘you have this chance to get the robot! Fail to solve it and robot is eaten by machines. It sits quietly in a place you alike to go for gifts and rewards and a lovely comment. This person likes purple and has taught some of you. Think carefully then take the solved clues to this person to save your robot. ‘

We all then went to find Mrs Vayro…she had got our robot!

 

 

 

 

 


 

  

World Book Day 2014



WORLD BOOK DAY!

When we got to school everybody was dressed up as book characters of their choice. There was a Mario and Luigi- it was really funny to see them stand together. There was a really cool witch; it really looked like a real witch.  There was a musketeer with a fake moustache and fake gun!
After lunch we went to the younger classes and read our book to them. It was cool to see all their costumes. One of them had a really cool mask on and a really cool costume – it was a knight.
In assembly all the classes stood up one by one and did a twirl. While we were in assembly we introduced the readathon which is where you read books and get people to sponsor you.  There are two charities that the money goes to.

We had ransom notes sent to our class. Do you think you would want to help us? Here is ransom note one.’ Your robot is missing. Solve the clues and it will be returned.  Quietly it sits amidst the busy world of school.’ Here all some of the places that we thought of -  office, library and nature area.

 Read on for ransom note two…

‘If you listen carefully you can hear a tapping.  Await for ransom note three… ‘

Ransom note three…

‘It sit’s and looks at small ones. Get ready for ransom note five…’

Finally ransom note  FIVE.  We have to get this one .’.You have this chance to get the robot! Fail to solve it and the robot is eaten by machines. It sits quietly in a place you like to go …for gifts and rewards and a lovely comment. This person likes purple and has taught some of you. Think carefully and then take the solved clues to this person to some our robot.’

 When we knew where it was we all shouted “WE KNOW WHERE IT IS  - IN MRS VAYROS OFFICE!” We were so over joyed!

Class 8’s robot has gone missing! by Hennie and Maja


The robot has gone!

On Monday Mrs Down told the whole class that something was missing and we figured out that it was a robot that we had made. After break Mrs Down gave us Ransom Note 1! It said "Your robot is missing. Solve the clues and it will be returned. Quietly it sits amidst the busy world of school. Await Ransom Note 2." Some of the places we thought of would be the office, the library and the nature area.

 Ransom Note 2 said "If you listen carefully you can hear a tapping… Await Ransom Note 3." Some people thought it was hiding in the hall, in the shed and Mrs Down’s cupboard.

 

Ransom Note 3 said "It sits and looks at small ones. Await Ransom Note 4… "  Some people thought it was in the reception. A couple of other people thought it was in a different place but we went for the most people who said reception.

 

Ransom Note 4 said "A desk and a desk and many a book. Await Ransom Note 5…"Some people thought it was hiding in the office and the library.  Again some people thought it was in a couple of different places.

 

Ransom Note 5 said The final note… you have this chance to get the robot! Fail to solve it and the robot is eaten by machines. It sits quietly in a place you all like to go for gifts and rewards and a lovely comment. This person likes purple and has taught some of you. Think carefully and then take the solve clues to this person to save your robot." We thought it was Mrs Vayro’s office so we went to her office. Then we shouted that we think our robot is in your office. We were right and then she kindly gave us our robot back and Sam took it back to the classroom.
 
We were so relieved because we got the robot back!

 

 

 

Class 8 blog writing about the missing Robot by Charlie and Jake


Class 8’s robot has gone missing!

On Monday when we got to school we found that our robot had gone missing! After break we saw ransom note 1 which said – “Your robot is missing. Solve the clues and it will be returned!” We were really excited, and we really wanted to find our missing robot. It was quite small, so it could be anywhere!

On Tuesday we found ransom note 2 lying on the side near Mrs Down’s computer. This note said “If you listen carefully you hear a tapping noise.” When we heard this we were really thinking, where it could be.

 Then on Wednesday letter 3 arrived and it said, “It sits and looks at the small ones.” We thought it could be in reception now, but was it we thought

On Thursday we had a ransom letter again which told us that where it was had books scattered everywhere. We still hadn’t worked out where it was.

Finally on Friday ransom note 5 arrived. This is what it read, “It sits quietly in a place you all like to go for gifts and rewards and lovely comments this person likes purple and has thought of some of you. Think carefully and take the solved clues to this person to save your robot." After that we all went to Mrs Vayro’s office, and that is where we found it. It was right near the cupboard behind the door. We were really excited to see our robot again! 

 

 

 

Embers time with Archie


Embers time with Archie

 

After school me and Archie went to Archie’s house and played on his Xbox. First we started playing Minecraft, after that we watched a James Bond movie called Casino Royal. Then the power flicked out so Archie had to go to bed.
 
On Saturday Archie and I took Archie’s sister dancing. Then we went to town to get some food for the week. Archie got a Sport's Relief cup. After we went to B&M to get a drink for Archie’s sister. Next we went to Lidl, Archie’s Mums favourite shop, to get some frozen berries.
 
On Sunday I had a lie in while Archie went to rugby. When he came back he looked like he was crying then I heard him say he got hit in the leg with a stud and his face hit a frozen peace of grass after he got tackled. Finely Archie came to bed and we listened to eat sleep rave repeat. It was funny.
 
On Monday Archie Brought me back to school.

robots

I have been very busy this term and so have class 8. We have been making robots because the study unit is robots and in literacy they are studying The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.

It all started one afternoon when Mrs Down asked the class to look at a pile of junk and design a robot.  In teams they worked together to build these robots. I watched carefully how well they worked together and what lovely ideas they had.

After a few afternoons of designing, building, sticking, using papier mache, painting and using the computer the robots were complete.

These robots got introduced to the school in assembly because the class were so proud  of them.

Now they stand proudly...
