Roydon is to have an airport! What do you think?

Lord Sugar announced on Tuesday morning that he has planned to build an airport next to the school grounds.

The announcement has caused a lot of excitement and anger. The Eco Warriors (5/4 Deers) have been busy debating reasons for, and against, an airport.

Lord Sugar wanted us to report our decision back to him, so we have been busy looking at persuasive words and sentence starters. Here are some of our letters back (click on each letter for a larger image)

Eco Warriors employ 5/4 Deers!

The 5/4's have been set an important message from Lord Alan Sugar!

Lord Sugar informed the class that he wanted them to join his new company - called 'Eco Warriors'.

He said that he would be contacting the class through video, email and fax messages asking them to do important eco-related tasks and to attend to some important matters. He has given the whole class a membership badge and has warned that employees that do not work hard may be FIRED!

This week he has asked us to find out about the noise pollution that goes on around the school, during the day.


Using the iPads we have been recording clips of noise from various locations, photography the location and writing about the noise there.





We hope to send our presentations to Lord Sugar next week, and get his feedback.

The circus comes to Roydon

The circus has come to Roydon this week and the 5/4 Deers have been practising their circus skills.

We all had the opportunity to practice the diablo, spinning plates and the poi.

“Allan,lets go shopping!”His mum shouted loudly. ”I DON’T WANT TO GO SHOPPING!” Said Allan, who was screaming in protest. “If your good enough I will give you a chocolate Easter rabbit.” Within 10 seconds Allan was already sitting in the car waiting for the car to start. “That was quick” Replied Allan’s mum, smiling as the car started to drive to the shop. In the Easter chocolate isle Allan started to look at the chocolate rabbit section of the isle. In a while Allan told his mum that he wanted the big one. When they got to the car Allan put the rabbit in the boot. When he opened the car boot he saw that the chocolate rabbit melted in the sun.

Melanie was hopping along the lush green grass, and the sun beated down on her. She and her two friends, Poppy and Zia, are climbing trees in the hot spring’s sun. Suddenly, clouds start looming in. “Oh no!” Poppy gasps. “The sunshine is disappearing,” Zia exclaims. “Don’t just stand there, lets get inside!” Melanie shouts over the strong wind. Just then, Poppy trips on a chocolate bunny! The clouds disappear, and the sun arrives once again. Must be a magic bunny! Zia thinks. The chocolate rabbit melted in the sun, the chocolate oozing onto the grassy bank. Melanie, Poppy and Zia run along home, forgetting the rabbit.
