We made 'coalmines' under our desks and listened to a story, to really try and imagine what it must have been like for the children to work in those cramped, dark conditions.
We have been working on our throwing and catching skills in readiness to play some netball matches.
Alex Wharton showed us how to complete a poetry draw-along. Here are some pictures we drew to show the 'mind movies' we saw when we read the poem 'The Whispering Forest.'
We had a great time with Alex, listening to him perform his unique style or rap and song poetry!
We really enjoyed listening to his poems and drawing what we saw in our own imaginations, before writing some of our own poems.
We had an interactive and engaging session with Big Pit, learning all about coal through the ages.
