School News - The eventful trip to London

A report by Bethany Lauren Holderness and Raven-MarieSpurr
On Wednesday 30th March 2011 the pupils of Wrangle Primary School went on an eventful trip to London. The day started out at the early time of six forty five am, when everyone met up in the school hall. The long journey departed at 7 am and we didn't reach London until eleven thirty am. When we finally reached the Victoria and Albert Museum we had our lunch and had a look around.  We saw precious jewellery, sacred silver and gold and historical artefacts. The main attraction was the magnificent glass sculpture that was hanging off the ceiling; it was green, blue, turqoise and yellow.
We enjoyed looking around the museum but we thought we would have liked more time.
Fortunately for us we then went onto the London Palladiam to watch Andrew Lloyd Webber's new productionof 'The Wizard of Oz'. We were all surprised when a real dog playing Toto was introduced. he was very funny because he wasn't doing what he was supposed to do.  The songs were amazing throughout. We both thought the effects that were used were very technical but remarkable at the same time. The girl who played Dorothy was very brave because it was one of her first musicals. We were slightly disappointed because we were so far away we couldn't see their facial expressions and at times it was very loud!
We thoroughly enjoyed the day and would like to thank Mrs Lister, the PTFA, all the adults who came along and expecially the bus driver for gettin us there safely. We can't wait for our next trip.

Responsibilty Issues

A Report by Sophie Johnson

On Tuesday 5th April 2011 we set off for our litter picking trip. We took a whole hour picking up bits of litter left lying around in our neighbourhood. We went on foot to the recreation field.   Moreover we went because Mrs Lister thought it was a good idea.

I personall did not enjoy picking up other people's litter, because it is their responsibility not ours. However I did enjoy being able to go out in the fresh air for a lot longer than usual. They should be responsible enough to know not to drop thier litter.

Police report

REPORT BY JACOB-GEORGE

6 - 4 -11

Last week three policemen visited our School on huge police bikes. After all the classes had been outside and sat on the bikes, the police officers came inside so we could interview them. We asked them many questions:

1.     Why were the bikes so bright?

For protection, so people could see us at night

2.     How fast can the bikes go?

Over 100 mph!!

3.     Why do they use bikes and not cars?

So we can weave past the cars at high speeds

4.     What do they do when they are off duty?

A mixture between swimming, riding bikes, playing music and even singing in a band.

The police officers came in full uniform and even showed us their police equipment that they carry around with them. They had a baton, Cs gas and handcuffs all attached to their boots, clipped on to their jacket they had their radio, so that when they are on their bike they do not have to let go!

We thank them very much for coming, the three officers were called Pc Wing, Pc Hook and Sgt Carlin.
