The Beaufort Scale

The Beaufort scale measures the strength of the wind. We have collaged what each number of the Beaufort scale looks like.

Our quiet place

We have been learning to show and not tell when we are writing.

I have a quiet place at the beach. I hear waves. Then my dad came on the motorbike and it was not quiet any more.

I was in the cupboard hiding under the blanket. Reading a story to myself in the light.

By Finn T

In the corner nearly at the curtain, I bend down with some paper and coloured pens. I lean against the wall drawing a picture and writing about it. The window is open and I hear birds chirping and the sound of the pencils on the paper.

How do we feel wind?



Jackson Pollock inspired artworks

To begin our process we looked closely at some of his paintings and answered some questions such as, what types of tools has Jackson Pollock used to paint his picture?
