What a Drama!

In literacy, we have begun to study the Shakespeare play, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.  To get to know the very complicated plot we have been immersing ourselves in the characters through lots of drama and role play.

We became Hermia and discovered the anguish of having to marry someone we didn't love.

Before deciding to run away with our one true love, Lysander.

Demetrius, Hermia's betrothed, was not happy and gave chase, followed closely by Helena, into the woods... 

Where the fairies started to play havoc with the quartet of lover's lives.

Will everything turn out alright?  Or will this comedy turn into a tragedy?

Our New Topic

We started our new topic this week - the Ancient Greeks.  So far, we have investigated: their place in history; how Alexander the Great helped to build the empire; also the fascinating lives of the Athenians and Spartans.  

                                                

We even had an open morning on Wednesday, which invited our parents to come into the classroom to see what we're getting up to.  

Goodbye Bude!

What an amazing week we've had.  We've been able to try some fantastic activities and made lots of new friends.  

Thank you all at Adventure International, especially Vinnie, Jenks, Charles and Ross, our tutors.   

Crabbing

This morning, we had time for one last activity...we went crabbing and rock pooling.  

We even managed to catch a few!

Presentation Night!

On our last night we had a presentation which celebrated an amazing week.  

Each tutor group also nominated a child from each school to become the Joker, Bottle or Superstar of the week.

Our winners were...

Leah wins the Joker award for keeping us all entertained and laughing the whole week.

Georgia wins the Bottle award for overcoming her fears this week.

Faith wins Superstar for being amazing all week.

Although we can only give 3 awards, all the children have been brilliant all week and have made us so proud.  Well done, Albert Village Crew!
