Poplar have been full of positive comments this morning after their first SAT!

Keep up the excellent calm attitude!

Imagine you wake up and this is what happens......

Please enjoy this creative writing about a plane crash typed by Adam and William. 

I opened my eyes and dark back smoke surrounding barley visible was the burnt out wreckage of the bunt out plane. I saw boiling hot chunks of metal flying like rockets into the air, all I could smell where fumes from the fuel making it hard to breath I could almost taste the fuel I could here other passengers screaming for help. I tried to crawl but I was frozen with fear I could feel blood down my leg I needed to get out from the danger but should I try north or east? 

Slowly I found the strength to crawl out and carry on carefully trying to dodge the hot metal raining down a screaming passenger held out his hand pleading for help. I managed to move a gigantic piece of  the  planes  wing  trapping  his leg. It took  all  my  strength  and I had to ignore  my  own  pain.

Suddenly I heard a rustling in the trees and the deafening sirens  from the rescue   boat. A man  appeared out  of the  smoke  with  rescue equipment  relief  washed  over  me. I  knew I was  saved I was ready  to  follow  a new  direction. The  pain in my leg so bad I could  feel  consciousness  slipping  away  again.

What could happen next?

You decide!

Sophie's tense tingling 100 Word challenge!

(Typed by Sophie)

The ice was freezing on my shaking hands, my fingers were sticking together I could see icicles hanging over me. I tried to make another step but I was so cold my legs were as wobbly as jelly, suddenly I could feel myself slipping, I was trying to grab hold of the ice. I was really, really scared but I never ever fell, so I followed my journey to the top of the mountain. I stepped again my hands were still frozen I could not stop shaking my legs like a chainsaw, but I managed to get to the top in the end.

Thank you for reading my 100 word challenge,
Sophie

Molly's 100 Word Challenge.

Take a minute to read Molly W's Fantastic 100 Challenge! (Typed by Molly)

Ever since I kept a diary, that scary image still stuck in my head…… the savage face, the black cloak, the body still ringing in my brain and especially the words …………

You may not know what I’m talking about but you will once you’ve heard this. One day my dad, mum and me went into the woods. Unfortunately I lost them going down a different path. I trembled with fear. At last I came to two different paths, one left, one right… BUT! There was a black figure.

THE DEVILISH BLACK FIGURE WITH AN AXE READY TO KILL………

What do you think of Molly's writing? 

Poplar class think - J.K. Rowling better watch out!

Welcome to Poplar Cafe!

This week we started our D+T project: Sandwich snacks!

We have been looking at food safety, hygiene and nutrition.

Finlay did a great job as our cafe manager, washing his hands, wiping surfaces, wearing his apron and checking our food.

We tried lots of types of bread and fillings and evaluated their taste, texture and smell.

Based on our evaluations, we have designed our perfect 'healthy' sandwich and will create them next week!
