Fantastic Mr Fox

Year 3 put on a fantastic performance of Fantastic Mr Fox.  This was their interpretation of the story with a modern twist. Mr Pennington adapted, with the help of the children, modern songs with appropriate lyrics to their production.  They used The Proclaimers, Rihanna and High School Musical. Morgan portraid Mr Fox with great character and the three farmers Boggis, Bean and Bunce(played by Edward, Taran & Jenna) were the nastiest crooks in the valley!

To make it humourous Joe, Nicole & Zoe played Mrs.Cork, Mrs.Penhall and Mrs Hurry; who passed various comments about their relevant roles in school.

Katie and Lois played beautiful music on their guitars during the scene changes.

Thank you to all the staff who helped to make this a fabulous production.

  

Up Up & Away!!.

Reception class went on their trip to Manchester Airport last week.  They were met by airport staff who took them to the viewing platform to watch the airplanes take off and land.  They were very lucky as they were their just in time to see the huge airbus come in to land.

After that they were taken to an aircraft hanger where they store a full size Concord airplane for people to view.  This airplane is not used anymore but when it was, it could fly to New York from London in 3 1/2 hours! 

Next they got the opportunity to sit in a real airplane.  This was a Monarch plane that had been cut in half but still had all the seats to belt themselves into.  It gave them the opportunity to dress up in the Captain's uniform and as Air Hostesses, they then sat in the cockpit one at a time to pretend that they were flying the plane.

It was then time to have their lunch, and due to the gorgeous sunny weather, they had a picnic outside.

One more visit to the landing strip before they went home.

Last Day!
Well today has been our last full day in Sicily and another really busy one !
We have visited 3 schools in Fiumefreddo and had a fantastic welcome at all of them.

We visited the river Fiumefreddo and saw the sea but we weren't allowed to paddle ! The views of Mount Etna are amazing - lots of snow and black ash.

Lunch was at a local 4 * hotel - very posh and then we went back to school to make photo frames and papyrus drawings. We worked at school until 8.00pm. The parents of children at the school then arrived with typical Sicilian food for us to try - yummy !

We have now arrived back at the hotel to pack our cases as we have yet another early start in the morning.

So it's goodbye from Sicily - we hope you have enjoyed our blog and we will see you all on Monday.

Ciao x
