Our Summer 2017 topic

Under the Sea.

Our 'Under the Sea' theme has taken us on a journey through 'The Kraken' poem by Lord Tennyson, creating our own beautiful, atmospheric versions.  Our incredible school wrought iron sculpture created for us by Rachael Long has been a real inspiration for this work.

Our very own Wreningham Kraken

We have had a go at David Attenborough's job by creating 'Blue Planet' commentaries - diving beneath the waves to find a real, live Kraken

The Kraken

By Alfred Lord Tennyson:

 

Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken
sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee


About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumbered and enormous
polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.


There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

 Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809 - 1892

 

 


 

Our Titanic Topic

We will study the terrible events of the sinking of the Titanic, creating some beautiful and poignant narrative poettry,  and written some powerful diary entries from children who were passengers on the fateful voyage.  We will be creating incredible poems describing the tragic event.  The quality of the work produced has been outstanding, as you can see by the examples from year 5 and 6 below from the year before last.

 


 

2016-17 Victorians

Here are some more links to the Victorian era topic which we investigated last year through the novel Street child by Berli Doherty,  which followed the life of a Victorian orphan on his harrowing journey through the streets of London, finally being rescued by Doctor Barnardo.
