Pupil of the week. We think very carefully about who will get Pupil of the Week, as we are spoilt for choice! Here are the shining stars who have impressed us so far this year.
This half term in Y5M, we have been learning to build up tension in a narrative. The children have ALL produced some amazing writing, but this one, by Niamh, really impressed me.
Prepare to be scared ...
I am in the lake. She is rowing, just as I planned. I know I want her. I know I need her. A precious child she is. But there is one thing mising from her...she is alive. I can take care of that.
I have waited for too long. Waiting for HER. Soon, she will join me and all of my children. She is closer. The inky-black lake is perfect at this time of night. It's just wonderful. She is almost here, and she looks perfect. Perfect for what is about to happen.
She seems peaceful in that little boat. But I can make her more peaceful; come with me and watch all your worries melt away. No one will be able to hear her scream from where I am. And where I am, she will be too!
Who am I? Well, I would tell you, but that would stop you playing with me, She is so close, I can see her pristine blue eyes and her long jet-black hair. But she is not close enough yet, I will wait a little longer.
She is here...she seems to be lying down staring at the star-lit sky.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
