Here are some photos from our Year 6 Outdoor Classroom Day which we did earlier in the month. We tried lots of different activities and enjoyed making some shelters.

Captain: Do you know why we’re sinking?
Owner: Do you know why the steel was so weak?
Captain: You told me it was unsinkable.
Owner: You told me that a piece of ice had fallen on the deck.
Captain: You should’ve used better steel.
Owner: You should’ve gone straight ahead.

Father: You have to get in a lifeboat now!
Daughter: I don’t want to leave you.
Father: This is the last boat. Please, I beg you, get in.
Daughter: I’d rather die than part from you.
Father: The ship is filling up with freezing cold water. It will be gone in a few minutes.
Daughter: At least the cold will numb my heartache!
Father: Go. The lights have gone out. It’s pitch black. Hold my hand and we’ll find a boat.
Daughter: Please father, I don’t want to go by myself.
Father: There’s no room for me. I’ll be fine. I can swim.
Daughter: If I go, do you promise that you’ll survive?
Father: I promise.

We have been writing poems about the Titanic based on the wonderful book Berth, Voices of the Titanic by Natalie Scott.

Ebenezer Scrooge had a cold life. Everything about him was blue. His appearance, his personality, and most of all his heart. His chin was a skinny branch off a dead tree. His nose was long and pointed like a spike on a graveyard gate. His eyes were a dark blue, it was as if you were staring into Medusa’s eyes, fearing if you even took a glimpse, you might not come out alive. It was impossible to get a smile from Scrooge. It was only him that could make himself laugh. He didn’t even have a smile, well not until now. Scrooge only had a grin; a sly, deep, grin. He only ever grinned when he had done something nasty or cold-hearted. His grin was thin and crumpled, exactly like his heart.
Ebenezer Scrooge was a cold-hearted man. Scrooge looked so angry like he just saw a bunch of jolly people were skipping at his door. Scrooge’s temperature was low so if he walked in a room people would say the room had dropped by five degrees. Scrooge’s eyes were like a glassy hailstone glazing in the sun. Scrooge’s body was so content like a skeleton. He was lonely and miserable and quite selfish because he used only one bit of coal. He didn’t want to spend his money.
Ebenezer Scrooge was a cold man, he was as cold as a bleak frosty morning. He was as cold as the grim icy cellar which was his heart! Ebenezer scrooge was cold. Not just because of his heart, not just because of his soul , which was a swirling storm of greed and selfishness but because of the permanent scowl which was on his miserable bony face.
His appearance was almost as ugly as his sour personality. His skin, which was tinted with blue, hung over his body like a deathly blanket.His worst feature was his eyes. They cut open your heart and soul like an icy knife of depression. That feeling lingered in the room around him. It was like a force field pushing kind thoughts and kind words away. It was as though the only emotions he could feel were hate and sadness.
