Our class 7N worked with 7R to create the graveyard which the ghosts from The Graveyard Book inhabit. We each adopted our own ghostly character and decided where in the area their tombstone should lie. Once we had decided we drew maps of the area to remember our plan.
Our Graveyard
Mapping out our plan
What do you think we should do with Bod? Should he be allowed to stay in our graveyard? Click on the link below to leave me a post it note with your suggestions ...Click here 7N
7N held meetings with 7R and used THOUGHT TRACKING drama to offer their opinions.

EXHIBITION ASSESSMENT
In The Graveyard Book Mistress Owens says that Bod looks like ‘nobody but himself’ – he is unique. What makes us ‘nobody but ourselves’?

7N were asked to produce an exhibition all about their class. This was set up as a museum and everyone had their own section. They were allowed 5 ‘pieces’ each:
. One was a written piece – diary extract/letter/poem
. One was a photograph or an image – of
something/somewhere important to you with an explanation of why.
. One was an ‘artefact’ that is a physical object
. The other two items allow you to be as creative as you want to be.
We invited visitors (parents and teachers) to come and see our work. Have a look at the photographs of what we did below.
IS LIZA HEMPSTOCK A WITCH?
In the story Bod meets a girl who was accused of witch craft. 7N have been looking into how people acused of being withes were treated in the Medieval times and the types of gruesome punishments they faced. We have been working in groups to re-enact her trial in court. Will Liza Hempstock be found Guilty or Not Guilty? 7N will decide ...

7N have been considering whether ghosts could actually exist. They have given good arguments both for and against. We have been using our STORY TELLING skills to share our ghost stories. Please post me your favourites and any of your personal experiences on here 7N ...
ReplyDeleteHi 7N, I will keep looking at this to see if you have any stories to share with 7R, Mrs H
ReplyDeleteHi this is Nathan and I say ghosts are not real becase it's all just a load of rumours!
ReplyDeleteThis is Connor, i think ghosts are real because there are the ones who come up from hell and then orbs are spirts that are nice, shy and deprived. They are ghosts that only reveal themselves to the camera.
ReplyDeleteWell done 7N your exhibition was really interesting and I enjoyed looking at all of your work Mrs Hewitt
ReplyDeleteI was so impressed with your "About Me" exhibitions 7N - some stunning work which really showed off your imaginations and creativity. Thank you also to all of your family members who came in to support us. And thank you for all the cakes and biscuits you brought in. Especially those of you who atually baked them yourselves. Wow! Keep up the good work. I am so proud of you. Mrs Storey :)
