Allanah's Appleby ShowcaseMy DreamMy Dream
Last night I had a funny dream,
I blew up my balloon,
Then held on tight, jumped into space,
And landed on the moon.
The people there looked very strange,
Three eyes and one green nose.
They had six legs and walked like crabs,
With corks instead of toes.
They showed me all around the place,
Then gave me things to eat,
A nasty drink that looked like ink,
And funny tasting meat.
They said,"Now come and see our king,
He's grand- his nose is red."
I said, "No thanks," and shut my eyes,
And woke up...2010-04-0501 min

Allanah's Appleby ShowcaseHomeworkI have been at home this week with a nasty cough and cold and tomorrow I need to set a new homework task so to help get my message across I thought I would send my class a podcast explaining what I want.
Each week we have a homework Bubble Map that we have brainstormed of activities we can do to support that week's target. Over the year the grid has built up over time so much of the grid just ticks along and children record what they have done in each of the grid boxes as they complete it.
