For the birds

For the Birds - Animation bullying. KS1 KS
Discuss, 'What is bullying
Click here scroll down until you reach ‘For the Birds’.

I ask them what they think the video tells us.  Does it have a message -  The message is that what goes around comes back around.

Children will often say that the small birds were mean to the big bird because he is different - He is a lot different also it looked like the big bird didn’t even know that he was getting bullied by the little birds. He was HEAVY too!

This sparks the debate - Who are the mean ones =  The little birds  Why are they mean - Because he is different  Are any of the small birds worse than others - No

Is there a moral to the story?Yes there is what ever happened to the big bird it reflected on the little birds even badder. Could you give it a new title? The Odd Bird out . Write in your own words what you think this video is about and post to your Blog under Literacy.

Camp

We arrived at school in our mufti in the morning. To do our first camp challenge in the hall which was master chef.We got in our groups to talk about what ingredients we were going to use but it was really loud so we couldn't really hear. I was a bit nervous because I Wanted to win. The ingredients were onions eggs whipped cream sugar oranges sausages spaghetti potatoes bread and grapes I was the onion peeler and chopper it was fun but it stung my eyes I had to Peel and chop 1 and a half onions then we cracked the eggs  in the bowl then we wait. then we put half an onion in the egg bowl then mixed it together then we put the sausages in the pan and we put the omelet in the other pan while that was cooking I was making the fruit salad with the oranges grapes and apple sugar Then we started to get the stuff out of the pans to dish up we got our knife and fork and started eating then we tidied up and got in our cars when we arrived mrs Hardaker said number off 1 2 3 4 5 6 7! 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 and keeped on going on till we reached 27 . Mrs Hardarker said its time to do some rock climbing so we followed her into the room wow! I shouted that's  really high but we had to have a practice round first so we could get our confidence up and believe it or not  it actually worked. So i tried to get up the first time but i failed but on the very last one I got to the top so i did every single one again so i got up on all of them accept the chimney.

Southern lights

Long ago there lived a young boy who always went to the beach to see the Southern Lights.


His name was Tane.


He wanted to see them all his life.


When he grew up he built a waka that could fit 72 men, and 2 were wise men. But Tane had to pack enough food and water to feed the men he designed the waka with paua shells.


All the young men went to sail with him to find the southern lights.


Halfway through some men got drowned and the waka got damaged.


When it got darker the southern lights come out and they got brighter.


So Tane the chief said "We're close to the Southern lights"  so they paddled harder.


They got closer and closer again but more men drowned by a wave and then it was only Tane


left on the Waka.


He had to finish it by himself.


But he was even closer when it was night again.


But when it was morning he had made a dream come true.

A Cold Crisp Day
1. Walking in the park 2. Watching the wind 3. Feeling happy
BLINK... BLINK... I lifted my wet woolen gloves up to my damp eyelashes and wiped the delicate snowflakes from my eyes. I could not feel my nose and my breath was like icicles forming in the air. I was cold. I was fed up! I wanted to go home. Mum and dad had forced me and my 2 sisters – Jenny and Mary to go for a Sunday afternoon walk in the park. I could see my footprints in the snowy path. Like a trail of breadcrumbs in the forest showing me the way home.
I stopped and listened to the magic around me. I could hear the wind howling like a stray dog hungry for a yummy bone. The branches of the trees that used to whisper and rustle had become bare, brown bones and the grass was covered with a white sparkling blanket. Then I saw a filmy web shimmer and glimmer beneath a pale sun. My breath was like silky soft smoke wafting up into the freezing cold air.
Suddenly there was mum with a big cup of liquid heaven. She handed it to me with an enormous smile on her face.
‘ Here you are Jo, this will keep you warm”
I slowly sipped the delicious liquid and felt it dripping and slipping down into my tummy like lava flowing down a mountainside. My wet woolen gloves were no longer frozen but warm. My breath had thawed and I was no longer fed up or cold. I was happy and contented.
