Your mission, should you choose to accept it...

For the last four weeks of the half term we will be reading and writing adventure and mystery stories.

Over the weekend, how about getting a head start by looking at your DVD collection and making a list of all the films (U or PG only please!) that you think might be classed as adventure or mystery, or both! Maybe you could persuade an adult at home to let you watch one and jot down the features - eg. what danger is there; where does the hero travel to; are any mysterious objects involved?

You can post your list on the blog by going to the 'comments' link at the bottom of this text. Write your list, with your FIRST NAME ONLY (You can put the first letter of your second name if someone has the same first name )at the bottom, then type in the weird word in the security box, whatever it is, click the anonymous box, and post!

Have fun! This message will self destruct in 5 seconds...

Our Instructions for Making a Fab, Funky, Frame

3BB - Have a look at some of our instructions presentations. Which bits would get us a job on Art Attack, and which would get us kicked off the air?

3BB Santa Poem

This is the first draft of our poem chorus. Can you improve it at all? Ask the adults at home to help. Remember it needs to be catchy and rythmic enough to perform!

Ho Ho Ho! Santa's in town.
Ho Ho Ho! Santa's getting down.
Pretend you're asleep,
Don't you peep,
Ho Ho Ho! Shh - he's here right now!

Bring your ideas to school tomorrow!
