Year 5M Christmas Wishlist

Week beginning 04.01.21 The Marie Celeste

The children have completed their introductions so far. Here are some examples of their efforts.

Kacie-Leigh Canham:

THE GHOSTLY GALLEON

I remember the date. It was 5^th December 1782. I had noticed a ship before me in my telescope. It looked like a Ghostly Galleon. Surrounded by the mist, the Ghostly Galleon, swept through the black inky waves. One minute you will saw her, the next minute she was gone…

I cleaned the lense of my telescope. Suddenly, I noticed she was beside me… Despite my fear. I ordered the crew to adventure closer.

As I stepped onto the deck of the ship, a sudden shiver went down my spine. Glaring up, I saw ragged sails slapping. However... there was no wind!

Jack Wilkinson:

The Marie Celeste

Beneath the icy moon, that was slowly crawling across the horizon, my small boat was covered by a huge shadow of a ship. Both of the crewmen, who rowed us slowly onwards, looked up in shock. When we had left the Dei Gratia, the moon had lit our way, but now, as we had crept closer to the derelict ship, the weather had changed: a cold chill was in the air. Perhaps it was my imagination, but the sea itself seemed to change from a crystal blue to a deadly grey. The waves seemed to crash more forcefully against our boat as we approached as if the sea was warning us away…

How do the planets move in our Solar System?

This week we identified and ordered the planets in our Solar System. We looked at how they orbit the sun and how long each planet takes to do this. The children then became experts on a chosen planet and presented its characteristics on our whole class model. A few astronauts in the waiting!
