Advent Service at Worcester Cathedral
Our service started with listening to a hymn from the King's Senior School Choir; they were amazing! The service was led by Oswald House and the Bishop of Dudley. They did a brilliant job; it was well organised.
There were about 700 people at the service and the cathedral was full. We sang three hymns:
- Immortal, invisible,
- On Jordan's Bank
- Long ago, prophets new.
The second piece from the Senior School choir was, in our opinion, better than the first.
We enjoy taking part in the whole school cathedral services; they are often interesting and do have a feeling of togetherness. We are looking forward to being part of the congregation when we are in the Senior School.

Resilience
Resilience
Recently we’ve been talking about the word resilience and what it means
too you. We talked about it as a class and then we watched some videos. The
first one was about not giving up, the second one was about if you do something
wrong it’s not the end of the world, so don’t worry, the third video was about
flexibility and how you can help others. The last video was about different
ways you can be resilient. Here are some examples:
Never give up.
Just keep going if you make a mistake.
Be flexible like bamboo.
Think as each task as dawn not dusk.
Positive Mental Attitude.
Be able to take and give advice to others.
Two phrases often used are:
“Come on, laugh it off!”
“Don’t let this spoil everything!”
So come on, be RESILIENT!

Science
Our Science Experiments
We started the term with a science experiment to find out if all
substances dissolve in water. We found out that most substances used didn’t
dissolve. Copper sulphate and sodium carbonate reached saturation point.
Aluminium pottasiate, sand, sugar and salt didn’t dissolve.
Our favourite experiment was
the Bunsen burner. The hottest flame they produce was the roaring blue flame,
it can reach temperatures of 700 degrees Celsius. The coolest flame is the
orange flame reaching 300 degrees Celsius. The blue flame is 500 degrees
Celsius.

Seesaw
SeeSaw
SeeSaw
is an online learning journal, allowing us to share our schoolwork with our
classmates and parents. We are allowed
to choose which pieces of work that we put on SeeSaw, so that we have a
learning journal full of work that we are proud of. On SeeSaw, you can post videos and photos
which we can edit by adding drawings, text and voice recording. The teacher also has to approve our work,
making sure that only well-done and appropriate work is posted.
We love it!

Diglis Lock
The Diglis Lock
We were given the excellent opportunity to go and visit a
dry lock.
A lock is a boat elevator where it levels the water to the
right level on the other side of the river. They use a lock-key to open the
gates and close the gate. A lock-key is like a metal spanner that you push
round and round to open the gate. It takes a lot of power because it is very
heavy. There are lots of locks on canals. We went to the Diglis lock where all
the water had been drained out to replace the gates. They found about 17,000
fish and lots of pipes, milk bottles, dead bullets, poison and medicine.
Interestingly they found whole cars and trolleys in other locks.

Shakespeare Day
Shakespeare trip to King’s Hawford
On Monday 16th November, all of Year Six went to
King’s Hawford for a Shakespeare day. ‘The Young Shakespeare Company’ came to
teach us the story of Romeo and Juliet. We
were split into four groups and were mixed up with Hawford children. One of the main focuses of the day was for us
to make friends with the Hawford Year Sixes, for the next year, as most of us
would go to the Senior School with the Hawford children. Overall it was an amazing day!

Transition Day
The Transition Day
On Tuesday 17th
November, Year Six from both King’s St Albans and King’s Hawford, collaborated
in a ‘Transition Day’ at the Kings Senior School. There was a selection of
activities to choose from, such as: drama, chemistry, DT, art, library, dance,
IT, and robotics. This also gave the pupils from both schools a great opportunity
to make friends with their future Year Seven peers. It was a great success and
everyone had an enjoyable time.

RED
The retired soldier glanced at the poppy on his shoulder. Fifty years ago he was fighting for Britain, to not be invaded by Germany. He shivered with the thought of raining bombshells, his friends collapsing, dead, in front of him. Then Adolf Hitler, the dictator. So many people had been killed because of him. The soldier quickly returned to the present, and listened intently to the Bishop talking about in the war, but he could not forget the terror of the battle, and never would, even after he had died.

Red - James
Red
Boom! Crack! These are some of the noises of
the war zone. The deafening, chilling noise of gunfire is all around me. Stuck
in a trench of mud, I sit there petrified. Bullets wiz past my head, a unconfutable
coldness froze my body. Many soldiers lay on the floor, they were not moving. Curled
up in a ball I lay on the, shivering, from the harsh, bitter cold. My clothes
were damp and my gun clunked when I moved. Suddenly! The gunfire stopped it,
was the end of the battle.
Many years later I came back where I fought.
Poppies surrounded me, red poppies.
James
Red - Henry
Red
Red is the colour of a huge humongous firework that screams
like it’s been stabbed. It looks like an erupted volcano. The beautiful
extravagant explosion is so amazing there would be no point using other
fireworks. The colours like a massive gleaming ruby that has been polished one
million times. When it collapses it looks like someone has sprinkled glitter
everywhere. The scream is so killing to the ear and is so loud it could wake
you up a mile away. It is the most amazing firework ever and you would not want
to miss seeing it.
Henry
Red - Matthew
The Poppy
The retired soldier glanced at the poppy on his shoulder.

shivered with the thought of raining bombshells, his friends collapsing, dead,
in front of him. Then Adolf Hitler, the dictator. So many people had been

Red - Luica
Fireworks
Bang! Hundreds of red flashes lit up the night sky each one
exploding simultaneously after each other.
Bright shades of red, orange and gold made patterns in the sky leaving a
dim glow. Whiz! More glitters of light illuminated the night void as more
fireworks were set off. There were all kinds of fire fireworks being set of
miniature ones to giant ones elaborate ones to plainer ones. The people
observing gazed up in wonder at the bright sparks of light, and blinked as they
hurt their eyes. The fireworks were like shiny red rubies glittering away in a
sky full of treasures.
By Lucia
Red - Anna
And in the middle of the flash
Everlasting explosions of bright colourful spirals
surrounded the cloudy, black night sky with light and happiness. Ferocious
BANGS echoed after the strikes of the neon lights, red, blue, yellow, purple
and green whistled into the black void. Starting from the green cushion it
soars and roars until CRACK colours shower down until they vanish into the
night sky. Whizzing and spinning, spiralling and swirling almost out of
control, until, just like that, it vanishes into nothing. Fizzing and smoking.
Spelling out names and drawing patterns. Seeing how much fun can be had until
the time runs out and all goes silent…

The creature was long, long like a serpent and had huge arms with talons on the end to drag itself along the earth. Its mouth emitted blazing heat that would scorch anything to death weaker than itself and could submerge a village in one breath. Scales flowed down its back like a river of lava and its tail was spinier than a hedgehog. It ate creatures as big as rams and cattle as well as human flesh, and its thirst was only quenched by the taste of blood. It felt like segmented leather and its scales was searing like magma.

The Blazing Fire - Florence
The Blazing Fire
The last
thing I knew, I was lying in my bed. Smoke drifted up my nostrils as I fell
asleep to a scream. I woke up to a sizzling noise. My body felt heavy and
unable to move. I was sticky all over, dizzy too. A wave of scalding air washed
over me. It felt like I was the sand, heavy, wet and in pain. My hand felt sore
and the pain in my leg was excruciating. I heard screams and yells. As I limped
to the window my body was red and burnt. Firemen stood outside telling the
people gathered on the streets not to panic. My head hurt and it was then I
first felt the torturous glow.
The Day - Flora
The day
It was the
day, the day Lola dreaded, the day she went back to school. When Lola woke up
she started screaming and crying when she found out it was the day. Lola
grasped the side of her bed and tried not to let go, but the strength of her
dad pulling her away was too much, and soon she found herself in school uniform
sat in the car.
Lola was outside on the playground being
teased for having glasses and braces. Everyone was shouting comments like
“Train
tracks!” and “You’re ugly because of your glasses!” Lola ran home as fast as
she could
Despair -- Matthew
Despair
As I sprinted out of the demolished building of my home, I
cried out helplessly, remembering my beloved family, and all they had done to
make sure I had a happy life. It felt like my life had been torn apart, never
to be seen again, then replaced by a nightmare. I felt a surge of anger.
Whoever had done all that must have had some relatives, so what gave them the
right to make me lose mine? Silently I vowed I would make sure they lost
theirs, and was sorrowful that they had killed my family, and my life.
By Matthew
…It felt like…-- Mia
…It felt like…
A
bullet passing through my head, causing chaos and confusion all through the
town. That thump to my head, now spinning and spinning. My head was whizzing
away… I lost my balance as I fell unconscious, was I dying, or would I be
rescued. Who knew, but something gave me the feeling that someone could decide
my fate, my restless fate…
I
could hear the gasps of fear from passers-by, then I heard a phone dial.
The Mean Bullies - Flo C
If I didn’t play that game , if they didn’t make me do it
,if they didn’t scare the life out of me ,I wouldn’t be locked in a small ,dark
,damp cellar.
It all started when I got bullied at school and people
called me names, but one day they called me over to their gang.
“Hay Andrew, come and play rocks” they shouted
“What’s rocks” I stuttered
The bullies where mean, the people who they walked past
trembled in their presents. The leader called shaker made him play. Andrew
didn’t know what to do.
“Runnnnnnn” he whispered
Andrew ran as fast as possible, but he ran into a cellar it
felt like I was going to be trapped.
The Vampires - Henry
It felt like someone was tickling my spine. They were… A
long bony pale finger ran along my spine. I turned round scared stiff and came
to face a vampire. He had blood stained teeth and his skin was snow white. He
was wearing old Victorian clothes like the smart people of London used to wear.
Then out of nowhere came a score more of the cold blooded creatures came out
from the gloomy corners of the dungeon.
They all hissed “I want your blood!”
Oh no there was no way I could survive now…
An unfortunate fate
The writhing snake
made him feel uncomfortable. He was sweating like mad unsure what to do. His
heart was pounding, the hair on the back of his neck rising the tension
building when he came closer to the darkness. The light getting dimmer he was
going down. Quicker and quicker. His eyes growing drowsy shuddering as the lift
took him down at 1,000,000 mph to his doom it felt like hell everywhere it grew
hotter. He couldn’t move he couldn’t shout he tried to live the rest of his
life. The lit stopped. A voice said malevolently “Once only once.”

“I’m frightened,” Georgina wept as she saw her mother and
father being terrorised by the war officer for her father had not gone into the
army. “It will be alright” said a quite voice from behind her, it was her
sister Elizabeth. Georgina new her sister was not ok her face was pale and she
was shaking vigorously (and it wasn’t to do with how cold she was because
Elizabeth was wearing a winter coat). “You look frozen” Elizabeth shivered as
she said that because outside the war officer was beating her father, just then
the air raid sound went off and Elizabeth and Georgina ran to the shelter, then
in the middle of the noise a bomb dropped down…

The Underground Valley #100wc
The Underground
Valley
The valley was dark from the outcrops of rock hanging from
the slimy, stone walls. Vines covered the walls and the only plants, where
dying from lack of light. Above was what looked like a miniature window letting
only a small amount of light in. It was cold above, but under the earth it was
freezing. Ash could barely feel his fingers because it was so cold. He saw a
realistic shape of a domestic creature. Ash's heart started pounding he was he
was alone, solo. Carefully he retreated into the dark, looking closely for any
of movement nearby.

The world above is

Annie loved animals: dogs, cats, rabbits and much more, but what she loved the
most was horses. She had grown up around horses, she had fed and given water to
them, and she had groomed them and always wanted to ride them. Annie was a test
subject, for a scientist to see what down below was like. Annie got down to the
underworld and saw the sandy terrain. Suddenly she saw them, horses all black,
one came over to Annie, she got up on the back of the horse and they rode away
together happily.

#100wc Footsteps Florence
Footsteps
I sat up and turned on my bedside table lamp. A quiet
whispering noise sent a shiver down my spine. I pulled my bed cover tightly
over me as I heard a noise. Footsteps coming closer every second. My heart was
thumping in my chest, quicker than it had ever done before. I was panicking too
much. I needed to calm myself down, it must have been my wild imagination.
Suddenly the window burst open and the curtains started flapping wildly. The
door handle turned slowly. I pulled myself lower in my bed. Then in the middle
of the noise…

The Jungle
Then in the middle of the noise all of the wild creatures of
the jungle surrounded me. I was surrounded by a diverse amount of different
species. Roars, scratches, squeaks. All of the animals making different noises.
The jungle was a dangerous place to be. I had to find my way out or I would be
eaten alive. I looked at the tiger opposite me. If I didn’t time the jump right
the animals would have dinner early! I ran as fast as I could go and leaped
over the tiger. I sprinted as fast as I could and hid behind a tree. The
animals ran past. I was safe!

I had heard it several times now, I was
beginning to feel curious about it. As I lifted my eyes to see where the source
of this raucous, racket was coming from. I saw puffs of grey smoke soaring up
into the sky, I watched it float up to the sky I noticed that the clouds were
no longer white, they were grey clouds of smoke… I now knew that I had clearly
been oblivious to what was happening around me. As the smell slowly drifted
into my lungs, I fell delirious as everything around me slowly disappeared …

#100WC Under The Ground
The underworld
The over world is kind, but under the earth, the world is
gloomy. The spirits of the dead swirl and twirl in the cold air, mourning and
moaning about their death and their
loved ones which they miss dearly. Lingering in the night of this distant world
underground, watches Death, laughing at his captures.
As millennia passes, more people are taken and opportunity
after opportunity to escape is lost. No one who has been taken by Death ever
will come back from this desolate land, especially greedy, thieving people.
They are tortured for eternity, for it is a factor of life.
Matthew
#100wc Under The Ground
I saw the creature. It was large and on its back there were
sharp scales. Its eyes were a deep shade of scarlet which glinted in the
moonlight. It had a long tale, with ruff bumps covering it. Then in the middle
of the noise it sprang at a nearby deer. The deer shot away in terror towards a
clump of bushes a few metres away, the bushes were green and were covered in
juicy red berries. The deer scrambled under the bush to hide. The creature
walked towards the bush, slowly, it’s tale swishing behind as it walked. It
grunted as it grasped the bush.

I mounted and climbed towards the top of the violent volcano
as it rumbled shaking all of the ground and making millions of tree’s fall. The
rocks tumbled down the hill and wrecked into millions of minute bits of rocks.
I kept on climbing getting higher up until a rock that I was holding onto
popped out with laver flowing out of the hole it made I was so scared. I fell
off and tumbled down the volcano it was too dangerous to climb back up so i ran
away but in the middle if the noise i heard........

The Aliens
Silently, I opened the package. It was midnight, and the
cardboard box had been given to me that morning. It didn’t say who it was from,
nor did I recognise the handwriting neatly written on the top. I ripped it
open.
It was a shining, slightly transparent cube, which looked
somewhat like a speaker, except with strange symbols roughly drawn all over it.
I, to my mistake, touched it. Suddenly, a loud beeping noise filled my ears.
Out the window, all I could see was a green mist-like smoke, rising from the
road.
Then, in the middle of the noise,
a blue figure appeared, and announced
“I have found them, master”.

#100wc Under the ground
The Underground Penguins
Long after the polar ice caps melted, the penguins who once
lived there no longer had their luxurious habitat and so lived in rough,
underground, caverns. The natives who lived above the ground tried to
manipulate the penguins with treats like fish to make the penguins fish for
them with great efficiency. But under the earth, far below the penguins, an
evil penguin eating monster lay, and four years later he awoke in great fury
and devoured all of the penguins until he was full, crunching through the
caves, even the icicles, all of the penguins were eaten except one...

#100wc Under the Ground
Under the ground there is a spooky, mysterious, burning lava
world where no human being is alive. Under the ground there are unusual animals
who can survive the world. You would like to go down there but under the earth
it is a disaster! The burning lava crunches anything in it way and that could
be you who`s life would have been burnt. You go down there and you want to come
back up there`s no way. You’re stuck, you can’t get out your doomed, you’re
lost......

#110WC In the middle of the noise
Title: The Riders in the Mist
As the battle raged on. The moonlight's shadows went on to
the men who fought for months. Unfortunately and sadly no one got the edge in
the crisis. At first no one heard it. As I tried to go to sleep I heard it the
thud. I sat up. I couldn’t hear it. I put my head on the ground. There were
loads of tiny pitter patters like little rain drops. I stood up. Every one
could hear it now then through the forest plunged horses. With riders and all.
They took the enemy out, I had hope.
