It's so lovely seeing all our families working together and creating some wonderful pieces for us to admire.
Such concentration!

Niamh's story
What resilience and determination Niamh showed in doing this piece of writing. She wasn't happy until it was just right and she had responded to my ideas for improvements.
Well done Niamh, you are a superstar!
The Queen of Scallops
In a small old-fashioned fishing town of Filey lived the Cook
family. They lived in a very little rundown cottage overlooking Filey
Brigg. Within the cottage lived mum,
dad, there son Alfie and his very poorly grandpa.
Alfie was 13 years old and a terrible teen. He was always
getting into trouble with his parents. Alfie could walk into shop and pinch
anything he fancied. But this certain day he wasn’t as lucky and got caught by
a fierce looking shop keeper who grabbed him by the scruff of the neck. The
shop keeper knew the family and drove Alfie home. His mum answered the door not
looking happy and sent Alfie to his room, as she spoke to the shop keeper. He
told her that he caught Alfie stealing food from his shop and that he was no
longer aloud in and if he was ever seen in there again, he would ring the
police.
Mum stormed into Alfie’s room shouting, “Why do you always
bring trouble to our door? That’s it, you are now grounded until I say so, you
can stay in your room.” Mum left the room slamming the door behind her.
Alfie laid on his make shift bed from foam thinking, “What am
I going to do? I can’t stay in this dull room forever.” He walked over to the dirty,
broken window and was wondering if he could jump out. He carefully opened the
window and looked down saying, “I can do this.” He then jumped.
Alfie grabbed his little fishing net and bucket and ran as
fast as he could to the Brigg in a bad mood.
Once at the
Brigg he stormed through rock pools with no care in the world what he was
standing on. Alfie stopped, something caught his attention from the corner of
his eye, he saw something glistening, golden in colour at the bottom of a rock
pool. He walked over and carefully kneeled down on the wet, slippery rocks. Pulling
up his sleeve, he reached down and grabbed what he thought was a crown. To his
amazement attached to the crown was the most beautiful pearl coloured scallop.
Alfie stood up, and delicately put the scallop into the bucket and slowly started
to walk home thinking to himself, “This scallop will make a fortune; we will
never be poor again.”
As Alfie got back onto
the beach, he heard I little voice saying “Hello Alfie, down here in this
terrible bucket.” Alfie looked down and with a surprise look on his face, could
not believe his eyes to see the scallop talking to him. “This is really going
to make me a fortune, a talking scallop.”
“I’m the
Queen of Scallops.” She said, “You need to put me back in my beautiful rock
pool, where you found me. I will give you one chance to change your ways or you will be turned into a Goony
for the rest of your life.” Alfie thought long and hard about what she had said
and decided that he would prefer to be poor but happy and not be turned into a grouchy,
grumpy Goony.
Alfie carefully walked
back to the rock pool which the Queen of Scallops was found in. As he bent down
to carefully put her back in, she said to him, “You have really surprised me, you
have past your test and changed your ways. You will not be turned into a Goony
and your family will be happy and healthy for the rest of your living days.”
Alfie thanked the
Queen of Scallops as he slowly placed her back into the rock pool.
Alfie returned home,
he walked into the living room to see that this grandpa was up and about, no
longer looking poorly. He apologised for all the trouble that he had been in
over the years and promised to be good from now on.

On Friday 1st May (today) Book Trust are promoting reading with Pyjamarama
Feel free to have a look and get involved
I particularly like the list of different books they are promoting for different ages as I don't know about you but I could do with a new book to read.
Why don't you have a look and if you have read any of the books, I would love you to do a book review to share with other children to help them decide if they want to read the book
I'm going to treat myself to one of the books to read with the class when we get back to school, if you do too let me know
