Halloween comes each year
Let’s give a huge scary cheer.

Halloween comes out at night
Halloween can give you fright.

We carve a pumpkin into a face
Halloween is so ace.

We all dress up big and scary
Even mad Aunty Mary.

The children play trick or treat
Now they have loads to eat.

Bedtime is a little daunting
Let’s hope the ghost don’t go haunting.

Many thanks to all of the parents who were able to attend last night’s meeting - we hope you found it useful. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions or concerns. A letter will be sent out shortly to confirm you would like your child / children to go on the holiday and further details will follow. The children today watched the DVD presented to you, last night. This was followed by a lengthy discussion - don’t worry we still did some work.
Things to remember - you don’t need new clothes - the older the better for most activities, however there is also a disco and night activities. Wellingtons are useful and waterproof over-trousers and jacket. A clothing list will be sent out after Christmas.

Remember that you need to have at least two pages of work in your journals - this could be a holiday diary.
You should also record at least 5 short reading sessions in your blue log book.
These are to be brought in on Monday 3rd November.
You can also start your biography if you wish. You will need to tell us next week who you have chosen to write about.
I’m not sure when we’ll be doing Games during the next half-term but have your kit on the first Monday and if the weather is ok we’ll play hockey.
Have a good week.

He rides his Horse to the old Inn door.

Inn is were he meets Bess the landlords black eyed daughter.

Goes away with hope of return.

Horrible guards bound Bess to her casement.

While she waits at her bed for the trotting hooves.

Another day comes with a gunshot been fired, the highwayman hears it was his one true love with the moonlight she shattered.

Ye old highwayman’s horse horse gallops towards the inn and the Highwayman with a musket in his hand.

Mad rage spreading through his face.

Another death , the highwayman’s dead all the love must come to an end.

Now Bess and the Highwayman live happily in heaven.

Cherry is our dog,
She’s not like any other.
She’s such a fabulous playmate,
(I prefer her to my brother!)

Each morning when we wake,
We take an early stroll.
But once Cherry’s found a puddle,
She has to have a roll!

Her favourite toy to play with,
Is a bouncy, bright red ball.
But sometimes when I throw it,
It fly’s over the garden wall!

She bounds through our kitchen,
Hungry for her tea,
But she breaks Mum’s favourite teapot.
I’m glad it wasn’t me!

Cherry’s getting tired,
For the night is drawing near.
And her little sleepy snuffles,
Are the only sounds I hear.

Cherry is our dog,
She’s not like any other.
She’s such a fabulous playmate,
(I prefer her to my brother!)

Jonathon brought in the trophy that he won with his team last season. It is nearly as big as The Champions League Trophy but don’t tell Jonathon he is an Everton supporter and I don’t think he has seen that trophy!
