Watercolours

This term the children have been working with Mrs Horrocks on watercolour painting. They made initial sketches, learned how to apply the paint correctly, chose a scene, photographed the scene and finally painted the watercolours. There was some lovely work and five of the children have had their paintings scanned and uploaded along with the original photos.

Raps – Sam W

All the way to Vegas

I went to find a driver

 Who can drive me really far

All the way to Vegas

In any type of car

I need a car that’s really fast

Does nought to sixty in three point five

I wont stop at any station

 just put my foot down and drive

don’t care if its an old red Ferrari

or a new purple ford

but it cant be too flash

or something cant afford

I went to find a driver

Who can drive me really far

All the way to Vegas

In any type of car

I’ll put my pedal to the metal

Accelerate my car

Put my engine into overdrive

Burn the newly put down tar

Yeah I’m gonna hit the highway

burn the rubber off this car

yeah I gotta get to Vegas

to visit my sick grandma

I went to find a driver

Can drive me really far

All the way to Vegas

In any type of car

Alternative Cinderella – Sam W’s story

This is hilarious!!!

Cinderella: extract from the autobiography of Prince Charles of Windsor.

“Once upon a time…..”

“Oh do be quiet narrator, my turn.”

So hi, I’m Prince Charles of Windsor and until recently I had a major problem. I didn’t have a lady in my life. I mean what if the paparazzi got hold of that info. The Sun would have a field day. “Prince, 18, no Girlfriend” How would that make me look? Yes you’re right a socially deprived loser. But thank God I was saved by this amazing girl Cinderella. So I’ll tell you my story.

By the night of my eighteenth birthday I was worried. Both my brothers had girlfriends, although I’m not sure why any girl would want them, and even my younger 16 year old sisters had boyfriends. But I had no one! I decided to plead with my father for help., ‘To hell with dignity,’ I thought. At long last I persuaded him to help me. He arranged me a birthday disco. At once I ran to prepare the ballroom. Eventually it was finished. The ballroom had newly polished marble floor that was whiter than snow and glass chandeliers that glistened in the evening sky. I also added red velvet curtains emblazoned with the royal crest, (a lion with an escort of knights on horseback.)

“Ah ah ah ah,” I was panting as I ran up the ridiculous amount of stone stairs to my dressing room.

“Now to make myself look handsome!” (well more handsome). I slicked back my dark brown hair and put on my freshly ironed naval blue velvet suit and laced over jacket. My stylist thought the suit and jacket complemented my eyes. I gave up running down the stairs on the 400th and only ran again when I was in view of the bottom.

At quarter to ten, I placed my royal bottom on a chair and leant back against the wall. However by ten to I abandoned this act because the girls who turned up were unbelievably hideous. There was this one pair of girls; on one dress there was an A and on the other a D. I later found their names were Anastasia and Drusilla, hence the A and the D. My god those girls were repulsive and monstrously hideous. It was almost eleven (the closing date for the arrival of guests) and I was slumped in my chair and considering sending them home. Being a bachelor does have some pros I suppose. But then I fell out of my chair. A stunningly pretty young lady walked in wearing diamond encrusted white dress and a golden necklace made from an alloy made from a ruby and an emerald. She had radiant golden locks of hair that glistened in the moonlight. She winked at me and I felt like my heart was melting. Somehow I tore my eyes away from her to look at father. It seemed he had fallen to the floor clutching his face after mother had taken offence to the wolf whistle he had given at the sight of the girl.

Trying not to blush I strode over and asked the girls if she would like to dance.

“Of course,” she giggled to my intense relief. I had been worried that she would refuse. Although why would she come if she didn’t want to dance? We danced all night to tracks by artist from Blur to Beyoncé. I was having so much fun I forgot to ask her one crucial piece of information: her name. (oh and her phone number). Also you know the two girls with letters on their dresses, well on many an occasion I caught them eyeing my mystery girl suspiciously. Only later was I to find out why.

Suddenly the great oak clock began to chime. One, two, three, four. And my mystery girl tore out the room but because of the bombilation in the room she left behind one of her glass slippers. I ran to the door and fell to my knees. Had something gone catastrophically wrong? Had I said something wrong?

The next day I mounted my great steed, sorry I mean of course my subtle bright orange Lamborghini Aventador with gull wing doors. I revved the supercharged v12 engine and went from door to door trying to find whose foot fitted the only remains I had of my mystery girl. I dreaded the journey to the last house for I knew who its residents were: the girls with letters on their dresses. I almost turned around but I’m glad I didn’t because then I would still be despairing. Anyway I quickly got to the point and invited them to try on the shoe. After it obviously didn’t fit, I turned and pressed the button to open the gull wing doors on my lambo but then I heard a voice shout:

“Wait, please could I try on the shoe?” The speaker was a girl I had never seen before. However, I was suspicious because she had a slight resemblance to my mystery girl. I hated having to call her that but I’d been so stupid when I forgot to ask her name. Anyway she tried on the shoe and I banged my head on the lambo. It fitted. It actually fitted! I was over the moon as happy a bunny.

Me and Cinderella (I found out her name) drove back to the manor residence. She told me how her mother had mistreated her and I was fuming. Her mother had basically all but used her as a slave. I immediately phoned the police.

The next day the phone rang

“Helloo,” I said.

“Good morning sir” the officer on the other end said. “We have some information for you concerning Mrs Williams.”

“Ok officer, I’ll be there in five.”

So I hurriedly got dressed and took my Lamborghini out of the garage and sped towards the police station. Annoyingly, there was huge traffic. How I hate the Monday morning rush hour. Anyway the consequences of this were that instead of the five minutes I had promised the officer, it took just shy of half an hour. When I finally got there my jaw dropped Mrs Williams had not counted Cinderella as a family member and therefore had not paid appropriate tax and was now also wanted for tax evasion.

By one o’clock a team of police team mainly made up of cocky 18 year olds was sitting outside the Williams household. A young policeman, one of the 18 year old hotshots, knocked on the door. Drusilla answered.

“Mummy it’s the police.” I was surprised by this mainly because I would have thought that someone of her age would be past calling their mother ‘mummy’. When Mrs Williams answered the police man spoke again:

“Would mademoiselle, care to step outside?” But the second she did she was handcuffed by two officers hiding on either side of the dark brown oak door, and taken into custody.

One month later

I guess my story ends here but I’ll explain how it ended. Well there was a happy ending for most people, but I’ll start with the bad ones: Drusilla and her step father moved far far away (thank god) to Buenos Aires in Argentina. Mrs Williams received 7 years in prison.

Now for my favourite part of the story: the happy endings*. Anastasia, who was usually nice and friendly with Cinderella, came to live with myself and Cinderella at Windsor castle. She also got a beauty counsellor to help her. Finally Cinderella and I lived happily ever after; we were married, and made several tours round Europe and our favourite city in the world: the world centre of fashion and the city of love, Paris.

*Please note happy endings are the favourite part of the character not the author.

Points of view: Wilf Wolf & Scarlet Hood Letters – Sam W, Mahima, Molly, George

Dear Scarlet,

I am writing to you to complain about you stitching me up, to get me in serious trouble!  

My first complaint would be the fact that you got me into court in the first place. You just wanted to get me in trouble from the start so there! It was a stupid thing to do because no one believed you and I was in the clear. Also I didn’t eat your Granny!

My second complaint is that you kept trying to get me into prison in court by retorting with untrue comebacks. Someday I’ll get YOU into trouble so you’d better watch your step missy! I was the one that got out of court scott free so that means I’m more clever  than you and if you get me in again I’ll just get out again and again. But if you do get me in trouble again I’ll make you regret it mwah ha ha ha!  

So to finish off I would like to point out that if you ever try something like this ludicrous accusation again I will sue you. Remember Scarlet I’ve got my eye on you so if you place even one fingernail out of line I’ll haul you into court just like you did to me.

Yours sincerely,

 

Wilf Wolf

P.S. Why would I eat your granny, I’m a veggie! 

What is the real Uganda like?

As part of our study of Kafuro and Uganda in general, Class AS have been looking at a range of photos about aspects of Uganda. The children were given photos in groups. They had three main tasks from studying the photos:

1) Give the photo a title.

2) List everything you can see in the photo

3) Write a paragraph saying what the photo tells you about Uganda

 

The children have worked very well on this and here are some of their photo summaries (more will be added each day) When all the photos have been studied, then we will post our concluding thoughts on what Uganda is like.

 

Forest Golf by Charlie and Hannah

What we can see in the photo:

• Trees

• Freshly cut grass

• A hedge

•A bench

•A bird or squirrel

•A lorry in the background

• A house or a shop or a shed in the background

• A lake

• A person

• A golf pit

• Bushes

What we can tell from this photo:

We can tell from this photo that the people like to play golf and have a big forest like park to play golf in. people come and cut the grass so if you are playing golf you don’t lose your ball in the long grass. The bench is there so if you don’t want to play you can sit on the bench instead. Also people would have to have the right amount of money to be a member. This means that they must be healthy and wealthy.

Men on a bike by Sam & Archie

We can tell from this photograph that two men are riding a bike that is not a tandem so one of them is one  is on the back and the other on the front, this also tells us that the man on the back must be sitting on something.    One of the men is also holding a metal instrument  that looks like it could be used in a barbecue. The long grass and trees make it appear like there is a popular place for animals as predators could hide in the grass. Birds are also liable to live in the trees so it could also be a popular safari spot. The “Road” is not in particular good condition that tells you that it either never serviced due to lack of public services or is a path however it is rather wide and appears to have been tarmacked some time in the distant past, so it doesn’t appear to be a path.

Animals by Archie

We can see that a Buffalo is grazing near by a crocodile although its intentions are unclear. There is a bird in the background which appears to be watching. The Buffalo has been there for a while, as some of the grass is dead and in places there is piles of mud, leaves and twigs. This is also unknown why. In the background behind the buffalo and bird there is a bush which happens to have some kind of fruit  in it. At the front of the picture there seems to be fresh clean grass where the Buffalo hasn’t been.

Crime City by Oliver B

What we can see; a pole, Adverts, Police, Vehicles, scaffolding, Buildings, shot gun, pistol, sirens.

What we can tell from the photo; we can tell a crime has happened. The Ugandan’s have an armed police force, suggesting that they have a crime problem. We can tell that it is an old town as it is ridden with old scaffolding. We can also tell that it is keen on advertising as there are three advertisements in the relatively small picture. There are a lot of vehicles in the area, suggesting that it is one of the richer parts of Uganda.

 

In the street by Hannah and Charlie

What we can see:

•clothes

•bags

•windows

•doors

•balcony

•motorbikes

•people

• buses

•buildings

•signs

•bikes

•people selling pillows and blankets

•posters about new film

•wood buildings

 

What we can tell from this photo:

In towns and cities like this one, which is very busy, people are selling clothes by hanging them on their balconies. They are selling pillows and blankets on carts. In this photo there are motorbikes, bikes and buses which suggest it is a busy city. We can tell that people have money to be able to buy these things.

 

 

Elephants on a trip by Mahima

What we can see;

 

Roots, patches of grass, dirt, leaves, calf, hills; in the distance, long grass, twigs, the road, trees, elephants, sand, stones; on the road, car marks, dust

 

What we can tell from this photo;

 

The elephant and the baby are walking on a road. It looks like they are turning into the forest. The road does not have any directions. There is long grass and there are car marks which tell you that cars drive along this road. There is dirt and trees everywhere. The road has no tarmac on it so that shows they don’t have the resources we have here in the UK. There are no pavements (because there is no tarmac)The top of the blades of grass are hay-coloured.

Elephants by Eliza

 

What we can see:

Elephant, trees, hills, dirt, car marks, long grass, twigs, stones.

 

What we can tell from this photo:

The elephants are walking on the road and the grass is long. The elephants in Uganda are not kept in zoos like the UK and walk wherever they want to. The fact that there is a road with tyre marks on it suggest that Ugandans drive cars.

The mud hut by Jasmine

       What we can see:

Green hay like grass with surroundings of trampled on mud.

A forest with a possible chance of a river in the middle .

A mud hut with straw as a roof (thatch) with a possibility of someone living in it.

A cloudy sky.

Thin leafy trees.

The mud hut has strong straw to hold it together and rocks at the bottom to keep it stable.

 

What we can tell from this photo:

There is a hut which appears to be made out of mud and straw. The straw is for the roof and to keep it together. This shows they do not have the same resources as we do. Also there are rocks at the bottom to keep it stable. The hut is surrounded by a forest with maybe a river near this shows that they would build a settlement near water so they can drink it. We think that they built their settlement in mud so it stays stable and sticks. The hut is also surrounded by leafy mud and hay like grass this shows people or animals come here a lot. This is why we think a river is here because animals or people can drink from it.

 

Spectacular stadium by Kayleigh & Amelia

 

What we can see:

*        We can see sections of the stadium.

*        Big T.V screens.

*        CCTV camera.

*        A indoor area for the commentators

*        there is some fencing around the stadium.

*        nicely cut grass.

*        lights and a black pole that holes up a fence.

What we can tell from this photo:

We can tell from this photo that Uganda has some stadiums and likes watching events within them. There are two big screens in view which means, that it is a gigantic stadium that holds lot of spectators, and a box for the commentators. We think that it might be a football stadium because football is a common sport in and around the world. There are CCTV cameras that means that the can see what the behaviour is like when the folks are there. This means that Uganda is not that poor, but not totally rich like most countries around the world.

 

Mannequins modelling by Kayleigh & Amelia

 

What we can see:

*       A man sat on a chair.

*       6 models that are missing some parts of their body ( they are fake.)

*       The man has his mobile phone out doing something

*       Blue advertiser

*       Summer costumes.

*       Steps (one up and one down.)

*       Yellow stool.

 

What we can tell from this photo:

We can tell from this photo that it is a shopping centre and that this is one of the shops.  There is obviously a sale because of lots of signs saying it. There are 6 mannequins modelling curtain summer wear, They are missing different parts of their bodies.  There is a man fiddling with something on his phone. This proves that Uganda is wealthy enough to buy fashionable clothes and to afford mobile phones.

 

Man collecting water by Jasmine

    What we can see:

Grey stone tap/pump

Yellow gerry can

Green truck with belongings in it

Solid mud  ground with trees around it

Black truck

A man filling up a gerry can with water

Man standing next to him with his arms crossed

Looking across and possibly saying something

One of the men is wearing a white top and trousers

Item of shelter possibly a house

Dark blue sky which shows us  it could be in the evening

A man with a bright green shirt and white trousers

 

What we can tell from this photo:

In this photo there are two men with bright clothes on this shows they probably wear light clothes more then dark clothes because it’s a light country. One of the two men is filling up a yellow Jerry can with water from a stone solid tap/pump. This shows that they don’t have running water in their house, they have to go out to get it. Whereas the other man standing next to him with folded arms and a cross expression on his face, he looks like he could be talking. The men are surrounded by two trucks one of which is a green truck filled with belongings this shows they could be travelling. They are also surrounded by shelter which could be used as a home.

 

Rugby time by Isobel

 

What I can see: Rugby ball, 12 people, litter, green grass, car, fence, bushes, advert, trees, rubble, bare feet, lamp post, houses and a black metal structure.

 

What we can tell from this photo: In this photo there is 12 teenagers playing ruby in a big playing field and behind them is a pile of litter which we assume is a pile of paper bags. In the back ground there is an advert advertising beer.  Uganda isn’t poor because they have a good rugby kit! But it could be better so they can have some shoes on their feet so they won’t be harmed.  They have time to play not just work.

 

Mosque by Oliver and George

 What we can see; buildings, towers, signs, (advertisements) lampposts, trees, mosque, hedges

What we can assume- We assume that the picture is in a Ugandan city. We can tell this as there is a Mosque in the background, also telling us that it is strong in religion. Again we can tell that it is keen in advertising as there are about 14 adverts in the photo. We can also see a lot of nature in the photo, telling us that the city is quite green as well as full of buildings. Other than the mosque it looks quite run down and poor. We assume that this is one of the poorer areas of Uganda.

 

Food Sale by Archie and Sam

 

What we can see from this photo:  people, fruit’n’veg, bags, light from out side, tables, sacks, baskets, bowls.

What we can tell from this photo: People are clearly selling their fruit‘n‘veg so they can get some money. The food store has tables and racks to hold the food. The people eat lots of different types of food. It also must get really hot as the people are wearing shorts sleeves and shorts. The place that they are in does not look like it is very well made. Maybe this is because it is very old.

Pumping water By Alex W & Oliver J

In some places in Uganda there is no running water so children have to pump water which comes from the underground.  Children normally start doing it at a very early age.  Lots of children have to do it every single day.  Children have to walk many miles just to get water, it is very valuable!  In England we are very lucky to have running water.  The pump is made of metal and holding it up is a wooden stand.  What we take for granted they think is very special, it is a hard place to live.
