Fireworks
by Owl Class
Flickering flames, fantastic flying fizz and floating fire fairies.
Incredible, interesting indigo images.
Racing red rockets rumbling and roaring.
Extremely exciting explosions of every colour in the evening.
Wow we wait for the whoosh and whizz and feel the warm waves.
Orange outside, OOO and OH opened mouthed
Ruby rain running in the night.
Kids hearing crackling Catherine Wheels.
Sizzling, squeaking, spinning, shiny, sparkling stars in the sky.

Visiting our local area
We went for a walk round the village, locating significant buildings and areas in the village. Then we came back to the classroom and made a map of the village. We used blocks and rulers to help us lay out the map and then we drew round these things to get the finished map. We aso made a timeline of the buildings and when they had come to Charlwood.
