         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last year , all the  sixteen pupil parliament members plus the four head boys and girls . When we put our first step on the bumpy ground , the others were so amazed that they would have fallen to the floor !                                                                                                                                                                              Mrs Scannell spoke to us and asked us to see the interesting things about this magnificent place .  My favourite place was the House of Lords (which has a golden throne ) ; it is so large it could fit a hundred elephants inside  it !                                                                                                    After we ate our lunch , we went outside and we saw the popular buildings such as Big Ben and the London Eye . This sparked my curiosity I was engrossed in it I was nearly lost ! We went to find more gargantuan  buildings .                                                                                                                                       As we came back to school , I had so much things in my brain and I loved this trip , I am just bursting for the next one !</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br></p><p>Last week our class participated in a fun clay making lesson at school. First thing in the morning, I noticed that the teachers were making them to! </p><p><br></p><p>Miss Haywood encouraged us to put details on our dragons. My favourite part was decorating the dragon (especially the poking in the patterns bit) while my friend was thrilled by moulding the dragon together.</p><p><br></p><p>Afterwards, we joined the body parts together and learned how to join clay properly. Miss Haywood told us to think about shapes and scraping as it helps the clay stick. Mine had fancy decorations on it.</p><p><br></p><p>As break time came, I realised this wasn't just fun - it ignited my love for art- and I cant wait for my next art lesson </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last week, our school went on a trip to the Guttman stadium for fundraising. I could hear the taps of feet on the tracks from my classmates as they ran!</p><p><br></p><p>As we all ran, Mr Hillier and the other parents encouraged us to keep going. My favourite part was running with my parents ( mainly trying to beat them) but my friends's favourite part was the oranges.</p><p><br></p><p>After a drink, me and my friends said how many laps we did to see who done the most. I ran 1.2 miles and six laps! The oranges were so yummy and delicious, I wish  I could've gotten more.</p><p><br></p><p>As time washed away,  I remembered how much fun I had. This run wasn't just exhausting - it gave me so much confidence for running- and i can't wait for our next trip!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>About two days ago, our class was astonished as we were making clay dragons. As soon as we kicked off, I could hear exhales of wonder from my classmates as they were handed their clay.</p><p><br></p><p>As I grasped onto the gooey-like substance (clay) our new, well-trained visitor taught us how to make the body. My favourite segment was modelling  the wings (especially the minor details). My friend's favourite time of the lesson was joining the pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle. </p><p><br></p><p>Much later, we added parts not needed but to make it more intriguing as it was our dragons. As time dissolved, I looked at my artwork and it wasn't too bad. At last, I made some minuscule adjustments and I was really happy with work.</p><p><br></p><p>As our lesson ended I noticed how much I learnt - and it reignited my cherish for clay.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>On Tuesday 25th March, our football team embarked on a fun match against Haddenham School (at home). As we got onto the pitch, I could hear the encouraging words coming from my teammates.</p><p><br></p><p>Before kick-off, Mr Baker encouraged us to try our best. My favourite part was scoring a goal but Casey's favourite part was beeing able to play.</p><p><br></p><p>In the first half, it was a close game but then I made a run and slotted it into the bottom corner. Then, in the second half it was a nail biter because it was 1-0 to us but a hand ball in the box gave them a penalty. And then they smashed it down the middle and like that it was 1-1. This match was fun but very tiring.</p><p><br></p><p>As the match ended, I felt very proud that I got a goal and I am looking forward to getting a goal next match. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>About four weeks ago, our class went to the wheelchair workshop (which was in the hall). As we entered I could hear how everyone was amazed at how the wheelchairs looked.</p><p> </p><p>As we sat down , a kind gentleman explained a story about his disabled friend and how it is hard for him. After that he said to get a partner. He explained some safety rules  (since it was my birthday) he chose me to be the safety example.</p><p><br></p><p>After learning the rest, we danced to music (everyone joined in) the songs were we will rock you and Y M C A. My partner was really funny (I loved it when i could control well) my friend loved just to be able to use it.</p><p><br></p><p>As it all ended, I realised it is really hard for disabled people. I cant wait for our next adveture.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last week, our class attended an amazing clay dragon workshop in our classroom. As the artist was setting up, I could hear the buzz of excitement which was coming from my classmates who were wondering what their dragon would turn out like.</p><p><br/></p><p>As we got started, the artist said that she couldn't wait to see our dragons. My favourite part was making the clay dragons (because it was so cold and squishy) while my friend (Josie) enjoyed looking at everyone's.</p><p><br/></p><p>After break, we made all of the parts, stuck them together and tidied up. Making them was not only a fun activity but also taught me how to handle clay properly. My dragon turned out really good.</p><p><br/></p><p>As the workshop finished, I realised how fun clay is. I felt proud- of what mine turned out like- and was amazed by everyone else's dragons, I can't wait for our next art lesson.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This week, our year learned to make clay dragons and a lady called Miss Haywood taught us how to make them . As we all settled down Miss Haywood showed us what to do so we listened closely.</p><p><br></p><p>First , Miss Haywood gave us each some clay and then we started to form it into dragons , it was harder then  it looked . Then we started to do the tail next ( which was my favourite part ) and i thought mine looked good .</p><p><br></p><p>Before break, we added details to our dragons and my friends liked my patterns I put on my dragon . My friends thought my eyes were funny too! Miss Haywood said the last step was to add wings . She said the wings where hard to do so she helped us to do it .</p><p><br></p><p>As the morning ended, I learned lots of things so now I know how to make clay dragons . It made me want  to make clay dragons again .</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Around three months ago, all of the year fives went into there house colours.After that, we were notified about Roman battle day on the year three playground!</p><p><br></p><p>As soon as possible we started working on our catapults . On our table we had to keep it standing from the powerful wind, so we tied the stick pyramid together, then we painted it blue! When we took them out to the year  three playground, the year threes jaws dropped in shock!</p><p><br></p><p>Then we also made large flags to steal, each table had an idea, make shields!!! Now we were ready for battle, miss spears told us to get ready for our first brutal battle when it was battle time on the year threes playground. With zeal I dropped into battle! But...we lost , YELLOW won and we were a bit woeful but we thought it didn't matter it was all about fun loads of it.</p><p><br></p><p>My personal favourite  part was everyone being hit by the catapults and people wearing funny costumes.(me and arch wore the sam thing).</p><p><br></p><p>As the day ended I didn't know i could learn so much about history.

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br></p><p>A few days ago we made clay dragons, first we got some clay then put the clay into two equal parts, then we shaped both of the clay parts into a bowl shape.</p><p><br></p><p>After that we put some news paper inside the bowl shapes to stop it from collapsing when we put the dragon together, then we put the two clay bowl shapes together, then curved it slowly into the body of the dragon.</p><p><br></p><p>Later that morning we got some more clay for the head of the dragon, then put a hole into the head of the dragon so it would be easier to put on the body of the dragon, then we made the tale of the dragon and the leg's after we did that we put it all together, then put holes on the body to make it dry out easier.</p><p><br></p><p>When we done that, we all made the wings for the dragon, then ben't the wings so we can put it on the dragon faster, then we put patens on the wings so the dragon will look better then it would with normal wing's, then put the wing's on the dragon, when we finished that we let the dragons dry so we can paint them when they do dry.</p><p><br></p><p>However this clay activity was not just fun but in made me love doing clay and made me want to do it lots of times, and my favourite part was the shaping and the patens, but my friends favourite part was putting the dragon all together and decorating it.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>by Devyn </p><p><br></p><p>Last Tuesday, the gymnastics team journeyed to Kingston Gymnastics Centre for the county competition. As soon as I stepped in the gym, I could hear the whirls of people practising their routines.</p><p><br></p><p>As we practised our breath - taking routines, Miss Welsh reminded us that we were going to be spectacular and don't worry a bit. My favourite part was landing on the vault ( especially hearing my teammates cheer me on ) while my friend , Hetti , loved cheering our team on.</p><p><br></p><p>After eating, we went to perform our floor and we all did amazingly good. Participating in this competition not only boosted our confidence but reminded us to always try our hardest not matter what. Our last event was Body Management where we manage our body's in certain ways.</p><p><br></p><p>As we were leaving, I realised how well we did. All of us were proud of our place - we came sixth - and i can't wait for our next competion!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Two weeks ago, all pupil parliament members went on a school trip to the house of parliament. As soon as we got there, I could hear the gasp of excitement from my friends! </p><p><br></p><p>When we finished checking in, Ms.Scannell wanted us to discuss about something we might like. My favourite part was exploring the grand architecture ( especially Queen Victoria's sitting room) while my friend adored seeing the amazing house of Lords and the posh House of Commens.</p><p><br></p><p>After we got split into groups, we had a lovely tour around the whole building. Learning all about the House of Parliament not only taught us about history but also sparked our creativity by getting to know so many facts. Our teacher (Ms.Mart)luckily got bills of a bus stop and a dancing studio.</p><p><br></p><p>When the day was over, I had noticed how much I had discovered. This trip wasn't just brilliant ( it recreated a spark of my love of parliament) and I can't wait to go again! </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>By Robyn.A</p><p><br></p><p>Last month, our class took part in an exiting event, called World Book Day. Our whole school got involved, even some of the teachers joined in! When I came in I heard some of my classmates comparing costumes whilst giggling about who's is the funniest.</p><p><br></p><p>Miss Carman was thrilled by how much effort students have put into their costumes. My favourite costume was Josie with her Mr Gum costume but my best friend's favourite was Devyn with her elderly Gangster Granny costume.</p><p><br></p><p>When it was break time we were playing our characters from our books, but with a twist because they weren't all from the same story. We came back exhausted from all the acting we did. Not only was it fun but encouraged us to act in front of other people.</p><p><br></p><p>I'm very happy how it turned out, I would've liked it to be every single day! This day wasn't it just fun - it ignited my love for reading- and I can't wait for our next World Book Day!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last week our year discovered how to make clay dragons ( with our professional  teacher Ms Haywood ). She was also the only teacher to do this across the year group.   </p><p><br></p><p>Ms Haywood was doing it easy because she had more practised, but for some of us it wasn't  as good. My friend was struggling but her favourite part was particapating.</p><p><br></p><p>Before break, our class was warned to add the perfect amount of detail to our work. Carefully  we smoothed it down  and adding the head legs  body and arms.</p><p><br></p><p>As Ms Haywood was telling us how  and when to pant it just then  I realised how much I had learnt and how much fun clay models can be I think I will do this more often.       </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>About three weeks ago, my class part took part in world book day at school. as soon as the register was done, I could hear my peers chattering about their favourite book.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>As we lower our voices, Ms Spears  and Mrs  Sharma asked us to read each other favourite books. Later,  we talked about the interesting things that happened today.</p><p>My favourite part was all of the books that everyone bought in (especially  my best friends book)on the other hand my friends favourite thing with everybody's costumes.</p><p>After we ate lunch, we role -played different stories to each other. Acting different stories to each other not  only made  us love acting but also showed us our amazing acting </p><p>skills. My group acted out Gretta and the Giants.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>As the day ended,I realised how much I had learned. This day wasn't just fun-it showed me how amazing reading is - did you know that world book day happed every year and you get book tokens!</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last month, our class did a class assembly all about world book day. As soon as we got to the hall there was a sudden buzz of anticipation.</p><p><br/></p><p>Mrs Hmaidi assigned us different roles to practice to make it the best assembly. My part was the paperclip and my friends was maroon crayon. The outrageous part was we only got to practice in the hall once and the rest was in the classroom.</p><p><br/></p><p>Before we started  we got into our positions and waited for the parents to arrive. The performance went smoothly, we spoke clearly and Mr Hillier said it was great. Once we had finished the assembly the parents cheered.</p><p>I was very proud of the assembly and i cant wait to do another one.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Incredible clay dragons:</p><p>Last week, our class sculpted clay dragons. Upon hearing about this event, I could hear buzzes of excitement from my classmates. When we started miss Haywood placed tools on the table and then instructed us to roll our peice of clay into a bean shape for the body.</p><p><br></p><p>After miss Haywood told us to mold the clay into a pot shape then dampen the edges and scratch the edges then we stick it on . Then we do the same thing with a sausage shape for the tail.</p><p><br></p><p>Then we made the legs and wings. For the legs we made 4 mini sausages then we dampened and scratched it then stuck on the legs same with the wings. </p><p><br></p><p>After we finished we added detail such as horns and spikes I was proud of my clay dragon and my freind felt the same about themselfs.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

My favourite part was dancing my heart out my friends favourite part was putting hands out at the end of practice .</p><p><br/></p><p>After a good talk with my sister and the cheering of my friends we finally perfected out round off cross. All of the cheerleaders were taught a back up dance while the basketball players did there catchy dance in front.</p><p><br/></p><p>After an extra practice with everyone after school I already knew our dance group was going to be staring on stage.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>5 months ago, the handball team participated in a special tournament at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium to add a smile on peoples faces and to improve everyone's skills. Before the fun began, we started stretching to warm ourselves up for the big event.</p><p><br/></p><p>As the other teams played, this was our chance to make a plan. Our team encouraged us to try our hardest. My favourite part was when it was our turn to play while my friends was to flip the scoreboard. </p><p><br/></p><p>Finally, it was our turn to play but they were advanced teams which made it harder to play. The scored weren't so good... we placed last but it was a good game.</p><p><br/></p><p>In the end, I've learnt that winning doesn't matter, it's about having fun. I can't wait for my next tournament! </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last term, Year five had a jaw-dropping experience in the VR world. In a sudden moment, the classes minds were exploding as they saw the headsets as it was just starting. </p><p><br></p><p>As we started, Santino told me to inform him of how immersive the space reality was as we saw past the Sun in an instant, which pushed me into the back of my chair, but still, that was not it. My favourite part was when we fell into our universe and Santino's was when we went so close to the Sun that he was screaming his head off.</p><p><br></p><p>After my first turn, I was frozen and felt dizzy and Santino was terrified by my reaction before he even had his first go. It taught us about the motion in space and what it's like to survive up there. And we were both surprised by the lion in the jungle which no-one was expecting.</p><p><br></p><p>The experience was so fun that it made me fall in love with the history in space: I can't wait to practice my other skills in another workshop.</p>]]></description>

Her motivational speech It doesn't matter if you're good it matters how you play.</p><p><br/></p><p>My favourite part was saving the goals while my friend Toby and in year six loves scoring goals (he's very good). He is better in saving. I'm better in midfield you know I would win.</p><p><br/></p><p>After the tournament, I had a very nice meal just to congratulate myself pat on the back. This was a great memory for me🤗</p>]]></description>

My favourite part was laughing with Justin whilst Ali's favourite part was looking at the planets.</p><p><br/></p><p>After the space section we moved onto 2 more things. First we looked at the snowy mountains and then we looked at the lions and tigers in the jungle and we laughed a lot.</p><p><br/></p><p>At the end, I released how much fun I had and I learned the by looking around you can see more things and I cant wait to do it again.</p><p><br/></p><p>By George </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br/></p><p>Two weeks ago me and my cross country team went to Bridgewater for a cross-country race. I could hear the mumbling of everyone that was there, I was guessing they were nervous like  me.</p><p><br/></p><p>Mr Hillier encouraged us to do are daily warm up/ stretches for the big <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://race.My">race. My </a> favourite part about it was collecting the medals, as for George's favourite part was running for our school. </p><p><br/></p><p>After we watched our school (and three private schools) we went on a big hill which had amazing view. As we watch the races we began to roll down the hill for fun and get dizzy.</p><p><br/></p><p>The fun race made me proud of myself and improve my running skills. I came tenth place and three places than last time and Esme came first, and us three came second in the team run. Maybe I can win next time.😁</p><p><br/></p><p> </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago, our school enjoyed the exciting celebration of World Book Day. When 8:45 approached us, the doors welcomed a variety of characters from the pages; Willy Wonka to Harry Potter, Alex Rider to Matilda. It was a blur of utter excitement and lots of activity!</p><p><br/></p><p>Me and my fellow Reading Ambassador, Ellie, went around the class, snapping pictures of peoples fascinating outfits and trying to guess their impersonations. Ellie's favourite bit was admiring the costumes, whilst I enjoyed taking the photos of our classmates posing to theme.</p><p><br/></p><p>After break, we focused on a book called 'Greta and the Giants' that was about climate crisis and forming an eco-friendly environment. We worked in groups of our choice (yay!) to create a massive poster showcasing the advantages of a sufficient ecosystem and why we should stop burning fossil fuels (such as coal) to create power and electricity. As well as being fun, this exercise triggered our arts-and-crafts mindset and that also meant that our creativity and curiosity were thriving (double yay!)!</p><p><br/></p><p>As the day came to a close, I realised that opening a book could open your mind, not only by double-boosting your vocabulary, but in addition also expanded our imagination. I reflected what I had learned: World Book Day can teach you loads of things, and I just can't wait till next year's adventure! :D pls like guys tysm :)</p><p> </p>]]></description>

(From our school) Our amazing dance group practice in the creative arts and sometimes the hall.

My favourite part was dancing my heart out my friends favourite part was putting hands in at the end of practice.</p><p><br></p><p>After a good talk with my sister and the cheering of my friends we finally perfected our round off cross. All of the cheerleaders were taught a backup dance while the basketball players did there catchy dance in front. </p><p><br></p><p>After an extra practice after school i already knew our dance group would be staring on stage.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last year, our class did a exciting VR headset experience all about space. When we got in from lunch, I could already hear the gasps of my classmates. But before the fun bit, we watched a little video about the stuff we needed to know</p><p><br/></p><p>Miss Idrissi encouraged us to look around and discover the amazing world of space. My favourite bit was seeing the moon landing ON THE MOON! Although</p><p>my best friend Oliver liked flying past a NASA space station!</p><p><br/></p><p>After that we gazed at a meteor falling from the sky! Let alone, seeing all the planets! And if you thought watching the moon landing was cool (which it was) wait until you hear about being Neil Armstrong and coming out of Apollo 11.</p><p><br/></p><p>This lesson made me realise how big space really is.  </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>On the 28th of march 2025 5lh had the amazing opportunity to craft expertly dragons with a professional, Miss Haywood. Our class was very excited to use the clay. As we settle down, we wouldn't stop buzzing!</p><p><br/></p><p>Our first instructions was to make pinch pots with the clay. Pinch pots are when you split your ball of clay into half's then you gut the insides.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last Friday year 5 walked to the Guttman's ! When we got to the track I saw kids buzzing with excitement then we were ready to run.</p><p><br/></p><p>Miss Davies encouraged us to run . The track was very big (me and Ellie did 3 laps )  it was hard but fun. My favourite part was running with all my friends (this was Ellies favourite part too!)</p><p><br/></p><p>Most people enjoyed themselves , well I know I did . But I learnt that its not all about going the fastest or doing the most laps its about having a good time I would do it again any time.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>As our class entered the class, we saw our Clay maker, Miss Haywood, standing behind a table. As we sat down and catch up, we got our clay we were gonna use for our Dragon(On Thursday 27th of March) She said to rip the clay in half and pin the inside to make the hole bigger for both of them with our fingers.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>As we did so, we were into the clay and scrape the top of both clay and put water on one of the clay, then stick them together and smooth them out. I found it easy while my partner found it frustrating next we made three holes on the body one on the bottom and the two sides, this was for the tail and the heads</p><p><br></p><p>we got another piece of clay for the head We pinched we pitched part of the clay to make  this the snout of the head. A while after, we got another piece of clay and we were supposed to roll it up for us too we put our hand in a position so we could roll it so one I was bigger than the other. After that, we scraped the tail and scraped the bit that was gonna stick on to the tail    then we got our pinky finger and move around the hole that we put on the body to make it bigger for the tail then we put the tail and the body together making the dragons tail. After that, we go back to the head that we made the snout on and and put some clay out for the eyes then we put the eyes in and make pupils then I added some horns to make it scary then I scraped the back of the head and scraped the bit that the head was gonna go on then the head was made then I squeezed a bit of the body to make the neck of the dragon. After that I wanted to make some decorations to make it more scary looking so I added some spikes at the back and then it was time to make the feet the feet were a bit simple. We just got some clay ripped it up into four pieces and used are tool, which looks like a wooden knife And then we chopped some of the clay to make the claws and then we stuck it on with the scratching and the water. Now it was my favourite part the wings the wings weren't  that bad we got some more clay  to make the wings we just have to pinch and I added spikes to mine -again to make it more scary looking- and I stuck it on. I smoothed  it on so it looks like it was already there and then my dragon was done. </p><p><br></p><p>When I look at my Dragon, I feel proud that I made it and surprise!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>By Harrison Willmer</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Five weeks ago, our schools spontaneous dance squads got plunged into never-ending cycle of energy. As soon as we arrived for our first rehearsal Helana (our dance teacher ) was already thundering confidence give it your all.</p><p><br/></p><p>As we frantically stumbled into a new positions, Helana beckoned us to get into partners to dance to the upbeat song bob to the top from high school musical.  My partner is Lily from 5LC she is open minded and optimistic and before we started to dance she told me that her favourite part of honeycomb was to dance alongside of her friends that she holds closest to her heart. </p><p>However my favourite part is at the end of each lesson we put our hands in the middle and we do a vote of what to say when we lift our hands up. It really gives me the extra piece of confidence.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>After a quick drink and a long breather, we ran over the dance, tweaking things that needed perfecting and polishing our posture.</p><p>Then we all shared ideas of what should happen next in the dance.</p><p><br/></p><p>As the day slowly faded away behind me I realised how dancing makes me feel passionate about other people and how to work as a team I can't wait for our next rehearsal.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Two weeks ago, two people from each year group (including me) went to a dodgeball tournament at The Grange.  Whilst we were walking there I got nervous, but on the inside I was strong and ready. </p><p><br/></p><p>Miss Mart and Miss Davies both gave us some words of encouragement and motivation before we started the games. My favourite part was when we got inside the building and Ava's favourite part was when we were eating.</p><p><br/></p><p>As soon as we started the game, in about 30 seconds we demolished the other team. We won all our games before break but after break we nearly lost one game because Toby was King (in dodgeball the king means if they get out then the whole team loses) but he caught the ball and we won! So we won all our matches. This taught me that there is another way.</p><p><br/></p><p>I wanted to do more, I found out this sport was fun and I cant wait to do more.</p>]]></description>

         <title>(AMELIA) OUR EDUCATIONAL CLASS ASSEMBLY ABOUT MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR (MLKJ)</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last term our class performed our assembly in the hall of our school, we all gasped and muttered as the year 6's, year 5's and year 3's arrived. We and miss Idrissi welcomed the parents and year 5's as they made an entrance on Tuesday </p><p><br></p><p>Our parents supported us by giving us a thumbs up or a smile to motivate us throughout the performance . My favourite part was singing 'read all about it' and greeting my parent after all the classes were dismissed. As me and Sasha have the same taste, her favourite part was singing as well as me.</p><p><br></p><p>I had two lines like the most of my class, one was about MLKJ's speech and the other was about how you can do anything if you set your mind to it. MLKJ was a great topic but I feel like it could've been a tiny bit better.</p><p><br></p><p>Although it could've been a better topic, I learned so much things like Martin Luther King Jr's famous speech about people of colour and how he met Rosa Parks ( a woman who fought for herself on a bus as rules then were not fair). After all, this was a good topic and the performance turned out great!</p><p> </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last term, me and my class did a really cool VR experience. When the guest took out the headsets, the first people who wore it on their head were amazed</p><p><br/></p><p>Before we started the guest told us not to be silly. He said that these were expensive and told us not to break it. Otherwise, we will have to pay for the damage. My favourite part was all the planets (especially Mars) whereas my partner's favourite was a alien on the moon.</p><p><br/></p><p>The guest made us watch Alaska's day and night cycle with a time lapse. It was really cool because we could watch the northern lights. He talked about where you can see a satellite that day and he said you can find it in Milton Keynes. He also talked about when he could see the galaxy when he was young</p><p><br/></p><p>This experience taught me more about space and I'am excited about my next experience </p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last month, our class walked to the hall filled with wheelchairs. I didn't know why we needed wheelchairs but apparently, it  was for fun! The wheelchairs were set before we came and I was surprised that they done it in a flash. I could hear my classmates laughing and talking with excitment.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then, the instructor introduced himself and asked what resilience meant. Next, he told us how the wheelchairs worked and one person to sit on it and the other person to help. My favourite part was sitting on the wheelchairs and my friend's favourite part was sitting on it as well.</p><p><br/></p><p>We played some games like tag and basketball (wheelchair version) and it personally made me learn some new skills, having fun, playing and learning a new sport.</p><p><br/></p><p>As the event came to an end, I realised how much I've learnt. It taught me about having so much fun and a passion for wheelchairs. I can't wait for our next journey or event!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>BY MUKUL</p><p><br></p><p>Yesterday , in 5KI , we made clay dragons in class . People in my class were stunned by what we were creating .</p><p><br></p><p>Anna encouraged us to make two cup shapes for the body and join them together so we don't waste so much clay . My favourite part was joining the body together but my friend's favourite part was reading the newspaper under the clay .</p><p><br></p><p>After lunch , we added the wings  , some spikes to add more detail and legs so the dragon can walk . I bent its legs 90 degrees so it can also look a bit like a crocodile .</p><p><br></p><p>This day showed me my love for creation . I cannot wait for our next clay day .</p>]]></description>

My favourite part was the animatronics.
