The OceanMaker
The Ocean Maker by Lucas Martell
We have recently been working with a great 10-minute animated film in literacy (suggested by Literacy Shed). We enjoyed it because it was exciting and thought-provoking and it fitted in with our work on the environment and climate change that we have been covering in Geography and Science. So far, we have written some descriptions of the desert at the opening of the film and have invented instructions to create a rain-maker. Examples of our work follow in the next few posts. There will be more writing to come…
To watch this beautiful and thought-provoking film, click on the image to follow the link.

Shakespeare Week – The Tempest is free!
Today, as part of Shakespeare Week, we found a suitable spot where we set ‘The Tempest’ free. We read the book this week and found out why Prospero conjures up a storm at the start of the play. We also found out about the Shakespearean word ‘cozen’ meaning to trick or cheat. Lots of Shakespeare’s plays involve a trick being played on someone and The Tempest also has some tricks in it… We especially enjoyed seeing where there were similarities in the plot of The Tempest and Twelfth Night which we read (and watched) earlier this year.
The quote in our ‘tweet’ is from the play and is sung by Ariel. He is describing what he will do when he is set free..
If you find the book, read it and then pass it on by hiding it in a new place and tweeting your clue using the hashtag #ShakespeareWeek. We’ll keep looking out for our book to see how far it travels.
