Wow! What an inspiring achievement!

Screen Shot 2017-11-08 at 21.21.08This lady from Devon has just achieved something really impressive. Mrs Ursula Shepherd is 88 years old and, sadly, had never learned to read. Finally, she decided that she desperately wanted to be able to read a story to a group of children and has worked really hard to pursue her dream. After a year of lessons, she has just achieved her goal. This short film clip shows how enjoyable sharing books can be!

Elephants

If you would like to discover more about elephants (and other endangered animals), this website for the World Wildlife Fund has lots of interesting information on it. This is where I found out all about chilli dung bombs, elephants’ ‘hearing’ feet, right and left tusks as well as all their incredible behaviours to care for each other that we discussed in assembly today. Click on the picture to find out more.

The Suitcase by Otter14

Screen Shot 2017-11-08 at 20.45.12As the ancient suitcase was full,
The man was empty,
His guilt locked inside the lonely case
With his family.
His heart was broken
Like his battered suitcase.
Sat there for days,
Waiting for a forgotten man
To drag it into the black hole
Of the future.

Abandoned and tense,
The suitcase waited,
Waiting for the family to be reunited.
The memories inside,
Excited to be opened again.
Thinking about the hands that had been on it.
The dejected girl,
The lonely mother.
Wishing the time would fly by
Until they saw him again.

The Suitcase by Toucan16

Screen Shot 2017-11-08 at 20.45.12Covered by a blanket of guilt,
The battered case
Felt a tear-stained hand
Rummaging around,
Exposing his subdued memories.
Family photos faded in the sadness,
Feeling empty and torn,
The case saw an ancient bowler hat,
His eyes captured the future,
The past,
And the present.
