Skype Time!

We had a great time today on Skype with Mr Kemp. Even though it is already his holidays over there, he wanted to catch up with us and find out about our class.

We brainstormed lots of different ideas for what we would need to ask anyone from another country - lots of 'general' questions. We came up with these:


  1. What is the population of Singapore?
  2. Is there a Prime Minister or President that governs?
  3. What are some of the native animals in Singapore?
  4. What sort of food do you eat?
  5. What languages are spoken there?
  6. How many cities are there in Singapore?
  7. What are the houses and buildings like?
  8. What sports are played in Singapore?
  9. What is your school like?
  10. What sports and games do the children play?
The interview with Mr Kemp was really informative for us! We are learning about interviews and questionnaires next term and this was a great way to start thinking about how to ask questions, what are closed and open questions and what types of questions are powerful.

We look forward to seeing what the Gruffalo gets up to with Paris for the next few weeks and perhaps if we are lucky, we can even meet our buddies in Singapore through Skype too in a few weeks. We will work on questions for them too!

Our Visits With Gruffalo! By Room 14






Here are some of the highlights from the Gruffalo and the Gruffalo's Child visiting us!

Buck, Panlong and the Gruffalo - By Elizabeth



Once upon a time there was a bear called Buck. One day Buck called his cousin to see if he could go on an adventure. His cousin said, "Yes!" so they went on an adventure to the jungle. Then they stopped and went in the jungle with his cousin named Panlong.

While they were walking in the jungle. they heard a funny noise. When Buck and Panlong turned around they saw a monster and his name was the Gruffalo. They were so scared so they ran out of the jungle. When they were nearly in front of the car, Panlong and Buck saw the Baby Gruffalo and so they went home.

Panlong and Gruffalo


Panlong comes from China and Gruffalo comes from the forest. Once upon a time, Panlong came to the forest and went for a stroll in the deep, dark woods. A mouse saw the bear and the bear looked good. Then the mouse said, "Do you want to have tea in my log?"

"It's frightfully nice of you but no," said the bear. "I am going to have tea with a Gruffalo. Bye!"

But who was the person standing in front of him? It was the Gruffalo!

"Hello!" said the bear and off he went, far away from the Gruffalo.

Gruffalo Goes On An Adventure - by Jedidiah



Once upon a time there was a monster called the Gruffalo. He had a child named after him called the Gruffalo's Child. They both went to the forest to go on an adventure. When they got halfway, the little Gruffalo was tired. Big Gruffalo said, "Come on! We are nearly finished!" But the little Gruffalo said, "No! I'm too tired."

When the Little Gruffalo got up they went on. When they were almost there they saw two fat mice and they looked good to eat so they ate them up.

They both said, "YUM!"
