Some one was coming up the stairs. As I walked past all the old toys. I hid behind an old dolls house.I could hear weeping but I never knew where it was coming from.The steps were coming closer and closer sudenly the door flung open.Then they switched on the light whoever it was stood very still. Then the light was switched of and the door shut with a loud bang.When the footsteps went away I turned round to fing only a little girl crying next to the tall giraffe.When she saw me looking at her she turned away still crying.As I walked towards the window I turned round to take a look what ther girl was doing.I clamberd out of the window still wondering how I had got in to such a mess.

There are a lot of Masjids all around the world ( Masjid Means Mosque) but I am going to talk about a Masjid in India. This Masjid is in India in Delhi near another mosque in Philmistaan . This is called Jama Masjid and it is over 400 years old and is as big as 2 Thackery Museums. The person who teaches in the Mosque is called the Imaam and the first person who taught in the Mosque was Imaamai Maulana Syed Abdullah Bukhari. People from different countries to see the Jama Masjid , Jama Masjid has 4 entrants and exits one is in the North another in the South another in the East and another in the West. In the Mosque they read Prayers , read Naats , teach how to read and write or because the Jama Masjid is massive most people put their own shops and sell things. They sell things such as Mosque hats , Player mats , Religious Calenders , Clothes and things just like that.
Over 2 and a half weeks ago in year 3 where the SATS papers were there was a massive leak. The floor was flooded with water all over the place. Some SATS papers were so sodden that the could not dry and had to go into the bin. Mrs Spence found out and called the plumber to fix it. In the roof where the leak was there was an enormous hole which let water through. In the news it was talking about a flood and we had a little bit of a flood in year 3.
Why does a giraffe have a such long neck?
Because his feet smell!!!!!!
year 6 went to the Grand Theatre, it was great. My best bit was when Bill got shot and when oliver asked for more. IT WAS GREAT!
Everyone celebrates the new year to welcome a new beginning. There are lots of things to go in a new year. We have celebrations like Christmas, Eid, Diwali, Easter, Ramadan and lots more. Any thing new could happen like somebody smashes the world record , build buildings or even football and cricket matches.
The most common new year is the Chinese New Year to celebrate that thy use decorations like Chinese Dragons and they eat Chinese Noodles. The Chinese New Year is known as the Spring Festival. 
On Thursday the whole of Year 6 went to the Grand Theatre to watch the production Oliver Twist. It is a book as well written by an author, Charles Dickens who was a very famous Victorian. The trip was very good and so was the show . I was very surprised about how many lines the children that were playing the part of Oliver and the Artful Dodger had . It was great fun listening to the songs.
We will be going to see Oliver Twist and i just can’t wait to go. I am looking forward to when Oliver asks for more food and then Fagin slaps Oliver!
I just can’t wait to watch it .
It’s going to be good, CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH IT !!
On Monday the Eid/Diwali party was really fun, unfortuntately Mr Shackleton couldn’t be there with us. Other than that everything was great. We learnt all about the story of Diwali,and even created some of our own Rangoli patterns.We learnt about Paisley designs and had a go at drawing somof them as well. Goodbye for now

On Thursday Year 6 Monkey Puzzle went on a trip to Thackray Medical Museum, which first was a hospital. We learnt all aboiut the Victorians such as : Mrs Ingam, James Wilson, Martha’O’ Bryan and John Oddy. They were all Victorian people that died of diseases that back then doctors couldn’t cure. Like influenza, diptheria and cholera. Most of these diseases were caught from the dirty water, and the pen sewages which were absolutey disgusting. The butcher’s shop ws right next to the open sewage. We also learnt about Hannah Dson who was around 11 years old whn she died. She used to work in a factory with her mother. One day her leg was caught in a machine. She suffered from a reallly bad injury. They got her to a doctor as soon as possible, and some surgeons that were not trained didnt know how to help her so they just chopped off her leg. She did not get a special medicine that puts you to sleep so you don’t feel any pain, she saw her leg being chopped off. She did not die from that she died from the infction on her leg.
That is a little bit about the Victorians and how they died, unfortunately they did not get treated properly. Imagine if you were born in Victorian times and that hppened to you. I would hate that!!!
Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed a day off today. Your homework is to write a diary type entry for any two of the four days you will have off until school again on Monday morning. Write about the things you did today; who you saw and how you felt about your day. Obviously you won’t be able to write about Sunday until Sunday but you can write about the other days. Remember to include past tenses and some connectives. Who knows- you might even drop in a few adjectives and adverbs!

Felix Baumgartner, is an outstanding Space diver. He travelled faster than sound. If I was him I would be so frightened and worried, especially when he started spinning and spinning round and round. That must have felt nauseating.
Here are some brilliant links to the incredible Felix Baumgartner and his unbelievable skydive:

I really enjoy seeing all the interesting pictures in the art gallery . It was interesting how the lady was killing the tiger and the people from india were in harmony. There was a baby and its mother who were getting crushed. In the city museum I liked the sculptures and the games were interesting. The best part I liked about the trip was when we went to where the animals were. I liked when there was an archaeologist dig part and it was great when we got to find all the different objects.
THE TRIP WAS GREAT!
