Paul O Brien Bullying worshop

Today Paul O Brien visited Year 3 and spoke to us about bullying. We collected some words and feelings about bullying, and as Paul is a song writer, he put all of our words into a song about a bully who changes his ways.

The song we wrote together is called "Together we can shine."

Myth legend opening.

Today we planned the opening to our legend. We discussed the setting which we agreed to be New York, and thought about the sights and sounds that the children might come across at night. Then we placed our hero into that setting and tomorrow we will write up the opening paragraph of our story which will lead us into the main part and the meeting with the evil villain.

The world according to Humphrey

Chapter Two

Today we read the second chapter of our book. In it we found out more about Mrs Brisbane. What she is like and how she teaches. She also left Humphrey in school over night. Would you like to be left alone in your classroom after every one has gone? Luckily Humphrey found a new friend in the caretaker called Aldo Amarto, who shared his dinner with Humphrey.

Create your own superhero

In our literacy we have been looking at the qualities of heroes. We had to describe and create our own hero. Many of the children created a new superhero. So we looked at the marvel comic site and we were able to produce our own superhero using their template.
Have a go at creating a new one at

The world according to Humphrey

Today we started our reader, "The world according to Humphrey," by Betty G Birney.

We read the first chapter which introduced us to Humphrey, Ms Mac and Mrs Brisbane. We found out that Humphrey loved Ms Mac because she took him on a number of adventures. Mrs Brisbane doesn't like hamsters. So Humphrey promised himself that he would escape.

To find out more about the author click upon her website to explore her other books and characters.

Maybe you could create a folder or factfile about the author. Her books, hobbies, how she writes or even write a story about Humphrey in our class. You could even send that story to her!
