Year 3 s ancient Greek DaY Autumn Term 2016 The Half Term Howler is a newspaper written and produced by the pupils of Warren Dell Primary School. Year 3 have written and edited the newspaper this half term. On 21 st September year 3 had an ancient Greek workshop. Year 3 went to the hall where Dan was waiting. Everyone wore costumes, girls wore white dresses and boys wore brown costumes and armour. We learnt about the ancient Greeks. We listened to and acted out stories including Theseus and the Minotaur and the story of Achilles. We played games and puzzles like chess, battle ship and a labyrinth. We also did a quiz where and we had to go round the boards and find the answers to the questions. The first person to get all the answers right won three smilies. After we finished the quiz we did some colouring. We designed our own Greek shield. Year 3 said that their favourite part was putting on hard, metal amour like a helmet, shield, sharp sword and body armour. By Lilly, Charlie, Jay, Dominic and Taylan
Year 1 Wendover Woods Trip Year 1 went to Wendover woods for their school trip on Monday 17 th October. Everybody was excited to go on the coach journey, some children played eye spy. When they arrived they took a walk through the woods and found some Lamas, along the way they saw the Gruffalo, he was huge, even bigger than the teachers! When it was lunch time everybody had to sit on their coats at the picnic area because the seats were so wet. Their favourite part of the trip was building a camp fire, but they didn t light it, they were just practising making them! On the way home lots of the children fell asleep on the coach because they had such a fun and exciting day! By Jack C Circus Skills In September, year 5 went in the hall to take part in a workshop. They got to learn circus skills. They learnt how to spin a tooth brush on their finger and they played the Chinese yoyo. They also balanced a feather on their finger. Year 5 found the unicycle with one wheel the biggest challenge but said that learning skills was a lot of fun. By Hannah, Kian, Evie, Lily, Archie and Chelsea
