 At
Cann Hall we are currently forging close links with two schools in Ghana –
Sabronum and Shalom Complex. We have been fortunate enough to be able to
communicate with children in Ghana, and have been busy writing and receiving
letters. We have even been swapping work projects so we will be able to
learn the things that Ghanaian children learn and we will see what life in
another country is like, without leaving the classroom! Our Headteacher, Mrs
Reece, visited Ghana last year, and she brought back lots of photographs,
traditional Kente Cloth, Ghanaian chocolate and some messages from the
children. We are aiming to become global citizens.
Recently Peter Jones and Winifred Gilles visited our school to present the
children with 5 Djembe drums. These had been specially made and engraved for
Cann Hall by the children in Elikem School in Ghana. Peter explained how the
drums were made, from the selection of the tree to the creation of the drum
skin. As part of this assembly a drum dedication ceremony took place, in
which the children were actively involved. The whole assembly was greeted
with much enthusiasm and excitement by all of the children, who look forward
to playing the drums in their music lessons.

Jessica wrote three sentences about the Jack and the Beanstalk story. She managed to write a lot of the words herself and used her ERR skills with the teacher to spell the harder words. |

EXCUSES EXCUSES!
In 3H we read a poem by Allan Ahlberg called ‘Excuses’. Then I made
up my own one…
EXCUSES…EXCUSES….by Georgia
“A rabbit’s got my shoe, Miss.
My pencil’s gone all blunt.
Someone’s snoring too loud, Miss.
My book is back to front!”
“George has scribbled on my work, Miss.
I’ve smudged mine with my scarf.
Leah has turned into a flamingo, Miss.
My ruler’s broke in half!”
“Mr.Hardwick is eating a pencil, Miss.
My work’s fell in the bin.
Everyone’s screaming quite loud, Miss.
The ceiling’s coming in!”
“I’ve lost my pencil lead, Miss.
I’ve held a poison pen.
I can’t find my book ,Miss
So can we start again?”

On Monday 6th September in class 4P at Cann
Hall School, there was a scary message that suddenly appeared up
on the smart board (an interactive white board.)
A scared cat called Ka was in trouble. The cat said that time
was running out, the festival was upon him and they were going
to get him, “It’s really frightening,” said Ben.
The children in 4P are going to try to keep in touch with the
newspaper.

Shrek went to find some potion to make him
look good, also for Fiona, so that she’ll love him more and that
he might be accepted into the royal family. Whilst Shrek was
walking through the dark shaded forest, with the potion in his
hand, he was deciding whether he should drink it not. Him and
Puss in Boots were sure that he should take the potion but
Donkey didn’t feel right.
If Shrek took the potion he and Fiona will live happy ever
after. However Shrek will do anything for Fiona so he should
take the potion to make everything right and so instead of Fiona
being upset she will be happy. Shrek wants to be popular and he
can’t be that if he doesn’t take the potion. He will be the same
old, grumpy, ugly ogre and he wants to be a happy human being so
he should take the potion. If Shrek took the potion Fiona might
love him more; he’s done something for her. Also he might be
accepted in the royal family.
If Shrek took the potion he could turn out popular and handsome,
nevertheless his hair could start falling out. Also he might
turn out instead of being wealthy he could turn out really poor
and won’t be able to pay the mortgage for his swamp and can’t
buy nice stuff for Fiona and Donkey. However, he could also turn
out to have a medical problem because he didn’t read the
ingredients.
Even though Shrek wants to win Fiona before Prince Charming
does, he could turn out really ugly and Fiona wont like to be
seen with him and she would like to be seen with Prince
Charming. I think he shouldn’t take the potion because he
doesn’t know if he would be able to go back into an ogre and he
might be really ugly, people would think of him as an
embarrassment for the rest of his life.
So, to summarise, Shrek shouldn’t take the potion because it
could contain an ingredient that Shrek is allergic to and he
could have an attack and die. Then Prince Charming could marry
Fiona and Shrek would have to let her go. However, if he does
take it, the potion will make him look good and be popular.
Fiona will love him for doing something for her and he will live
happily ever after. I think he should take the potion because at
the moment he is arguing with Fiona’s parents but if he does
this for her they will realise how much he loves her and will
accept him. What do you think?

Shrek went on a hunt to find a potion that
would turn him and his wife Fiona into humans; therefore they
would be accepted as man and wife. Shrek is so desperate that he
sneaks into the Fairy Godmother’s cottage and steels a happily
ever after potion. Shrek is outside in the woods with the
mysterious, magical potion in his shaky, green hands. Puss
thinks shrek should drink the potion, since the potion said it
would turn make beautiful. Donkey isn’t to sure; he may become
very ill, but Shrek really wants to discover if the potion will
solve his problems.
Shrek should drink the potion because the label says that it
will turn him into a human. If he does drink the potion he will
have to accept the consequences, if something does go wrong.
Shrek should drink the potion if he wants to be able to live
happily ever after and if he wants to get the King and Queens
blessing. Furthermore Shrek will be able to fit in with everyone
in his surroundings – he will look normal. If the potion is
drunk Shrek and Fiona’s love will probably grow stronger because
they will be able to live their lives like normal people.
In addition, if he drinks the potion Fiona will know how much
Shrek loves her, as he is prepared to take these risks for her.
Finally shrek will love Fiona more, as she will be as beautiful
on the outside as well as on the inside.
The potion says it will turn them into beautiful humans,
nevertheless he may have an allergic reaction to an ingredient
in the potion. As a result to this Shrek may develop sores and
blisters around his mouth, which will make him even uglier.
Therefore Shrek should not drink the potion. Moreover the potion
may not work on ogres and he may be extremely ill. The unknown
liquid may be out of date and if he drinks this, the potion may
not do what it says on the label. Also the potion may have the
wrong ingredients in, consequently another ingredient could have
disastrous effects – he could become an animal. If he does drink
the potion and something goes wrong Fiona wouldn’t be that
pleased and she may not love him as much.
As previously mentioned if shrek drinks the potion he would get
the King and Queens blessing but if something does go wrong the
King and Queen might not give their blessing to him, and Fiona
might get even more upset. Some people believe that whatever it
says on a label the thing will do. Furthermore the potion may
make Shrek be rushed to hospital and he could die and Fiona will
be so upset about it. The potion may give Shrek an illness that
will make him have trouble breathing and therefore he may have
to stay in hospital for quite a while and Fiona may not know
where Shrek is. The potion may affect Fiona in an extremely bad
way and she may also be allergic to something in the potion.
Fiona would be extremely upset if the potion affected her, and
her mum and dad would not be very pleased with what happened.
The potion may not change Fiona, as a result Shrek would
probably be very upset.
In conclusion, if Shrek does drink the potion he would have to
accept the consequences if something bad does happen. The ogre
needs to consider if his love for Fiona is more important to him
than his own life. I would choose not to drink the potion
because I could die, or turn very ill, despite the fact that, if
I did drink it I would be beautiful and I would get the King and
Queens blessing. Both sides of the argument have been presented
to you, so do you think Shrek should drink the mysterious
potion?
