Who are Year 5?

What are the chances of that!!!

Hello Maths group,

Today we have been looking at probability scales, using the work we have done in class I would like you to come up with 2 statements that would be true for each of the 5 points of the probability scale; i.e 2 impossible, 2 unlikely, 2even chance, etc etc.

Good luck

Mr. Bennett

The children have written their own version of The Highwayman, changing as many things as possible from the story. What do you think?

The Highwayman

One evening in a pitch dark forest

That nobody had ever dared to enter except the rich.

Justin a teenage movie star came in a silver limo only the best

To a VIP hotel. Where he supposed that he could buy a book about a witch.

Justin had blackish brown hair,

A short motorcycle riding like jacket that was made of black leather,

Some boots which were black as the darkness of midnight

And he was 100% light as a feather.

When they reached the hotel in which, he had reserved a huge room to rest,

He went straight to the casino where he stood dead in his tracks and planted to the ground.

He did this because in front of his eyes there was the most beautiful teenage star that he had ever laid his eyes on the absolute best.

“Now “he said to himself “the most pleasant girl for me I have found!”.

He soon found out that she was called Selena and was a singer but also a movie star.

John the one who loved Selena and gave out shoes for bowling had his anger boiling when he saw the two hanging out but to calm himself and not be mad he whispered to himself “ she is still the one I love “.

Justin said to Selena “maybe we could just go to the lake outside- to be alone- though let us not go far”.

So they went to the lake and watched together in silence while they heard the graceful fly of a dove.

New Highwayman

 

Once in the middle of the night a Ferrari came driving by,

In that Ferrari was James Bond looking at the sky,

He came driving-

driving – driving - by,

He was in a dark deep forest with high brown trees,

On those trees were dark green leaves,

The pavements were chatting while James Bond came driving.

 

James Bond had a black suit, a white shirt with a bow tie,

And a nice little triangle on the top of his head,

A gun down his pants with little black bullets,

Shining  black eyes on the forehead,

With Todd black shoes he kept driving-

driving – driving – by,

And he came in his super-duper fast Ferrari,

 

The trees swung from one way to the other,

James Bond knocked on the grand door but it was closed-

closed – closed – hard,

He went to the bottom of the balcony,

Were Sky the Hotel managers daughter was waiting for money,

There she was James Bonds honey.

 

On the parking slots were they talking,

There John Jawer was watching while they were walking,

James Bond Said he was going to bring back some jewels

And went away with all his tools-

tools – tools – away,

while Sky Blue-eyed was waiting.

The Coastguard

One gloomy mysterious night

The coast guard had a flight

He was flying through the forest

It was the foggiest

 

He was flying, flying, flying

Suddenly the engines were dying

Then he saw a beach with many houses

When he landed he saw many mouses

When he went out and knocked on the door

He heard a big snore

Then a beautiful girl named Lady Gaga came out

And he was in love

 

The coast guard had to go so he said

You will find me by moon light

Jakishum was listening because he has dumb

When the coast guard went away a mafia came

They were all the same

They started killing every one

But they tied Lady Gaga to the bed and they were done

 

 

When the coast guard came back

The mafia had snack

Then they saw him and killed him

And then they killed her

And they lived happily ever after as ghosts

The End

By Zachary

New Highwayman

The moon was extremely glowy,

And in the eerie forest,

Tintin came riding with his dog snowy,

And they were both absolutely petrified,

 

He had a black and white lethal pistol,

He really had extremely modern jeans,

And in his shoes he had a pricy pistol,

In case something happened he had a whistle,

 

He came riding to a huge sky-scraper,

He did that dangerous thing because,

He had it on the paper,

And there he saw her

 

Viktor

The Highwayman

The moon was a glimmering ball of light

 The wind was a sign of darkness

The road was a vast as a star bright

 And a boy named Tom came in a car to the hotel

 

He had a white t-shirt and a black coat

His hair was a mighty brown and his shoes were black

His trousers were sky blue plus his eyes too

 

He parked his sliver car in the giant old hotel,

And tried to meet someone new but the place was empty

He rushed through all the doors

But sadly there was no one there

On his way out he found a girl named Emalli

While the taked a boy named Bob stared

At them while his hair turned into flames of fire

 

King Max’s men came marching  to the hotel

And killed the lovely Emalli

As soon as Tom heard about this he

Was as mad as an eagle and tried to kill

The soldiers but killed himself

But they lived as one

Here are the first installments of Year 5B's version of The Highwayman. They have written their own endings to the poem. Can you leave one or two positive comments, and one comment about how you could make it better, about each one.

The Highwayman

Clip-clop the hooves echo in the frosty night,

The Highwayman was ready to kill, affront and fight,

He was going to go and save Bess from her knots,

Ready to affront all of the soldiers which were lot’s,

When he arrived at the inn he killed till moonlight,

Then they ran away forever in the middle of the night,

The soldiers were dead but Bess and the Highwayman where not.

Elodie

The highwayman

Clip clop the hooves did echo in the frosty night

When he swathe Bess in knots

He rushed to the quiet inn

While he untied her knots he noticed there were lots

He throw the rope in the bin

One soldier woke from his slumber

And fought with the highwayman

Till there was a big thunder

The other soldiers woke with a fright

And then there was a big fight

The highwayman died but he still loved Bess

Bess now sees her love in the moonlight

Seljan 

The Highwayman

Clip clop the hooves echo in the frosty night

The Highwayman came riding, brave and full of fright

He told Bess to run so she ran away

The Highwayman was fitting till the next day

Then the highwayman ran away to a different place with -Bess

Then the highwayman and Bess

Lived without this this mess

THE END   

By Zachary. Y

 

The Highwayman

Clip-Clop the hooves came riding in the night,

The Highwayman came riding with fear,

And he could see Bess crying with enormous fright,

Then he untied Bess from her extremely tight knots,

And told Bess to run away from the dangerous inn,

He was fighting with the soldiers while Bess was safe,

Then 1 of the soldiers fell into the bin,

So the soldiers decided to quit the fight,

Then the Highwayman and the lovely Bess,

In the extremely cosy and old fashioned inn-yard,

Lived happily ever after without this huge mess.

The Highwayman Ending

Trot-trot the hooves did echo in the misty night.

The Highwayman bravely entered the forest.

He rose from his horse and ran off to fight.

He tiptoed to the inn and untied Bess.

Next he told her to meet him in the woods

After searching everywhere for the troop

He felt terrified to see Bess in no kind of bad mood

Bess was actually a soldier in disguise

Sadly the Highwayman didn’t notice that

So when he came running…

He got shot.

Bess was heartbroken

But survived and always kept his cocked hat

To remind her of him.

Fred's new Highwayman verses

The sea was an angry monster splashing around like a storm,

The clouds were dirty sheep slowly moving around.

And The Highwayman came riding-

Riding-riding-

The Highwayman came riding up to the old window.

 

The Landlord’s daughter came,

They talked and kissed and then he said good-bye to the lovely, black-haired dame.

His horse trotted away but on the way down the lane,

But not so far from him came marching some red, armed, bearded men,

The Highwayman decided to hide and shoot,

He hid behind a nut tree and shot all of them down.

He gathered all their weapons and galloped all the way back,

Back down the rusty track.

 

Then one of the frightened soldiers ran away and got back on his feet,

His name was Tim the Ostler was the only of them left.

He sprinted back to his house and got some things to eat,

He was jealous of the Highwayman so he decided to take up theft.

The Highwayman arrived,

He said hello to Bess

He hung up all the weapons

But looking in through the window was Tim

Yes it was him……………………………………………

Marketa's new Highwayman verses

The wind was a torrent of darkness upon the dark tree,

It seemed as if they were monstrous figures, but instead of hair they had leaves,

the moonlight was a thin, white material falling on the road,

and there the highwayman was arriving-arriving-arriving,

the highwayman was arriving up to the old, dirty inn door.

 

He had a French cocked hat,

And the buttons he had on his coat, they twinkled as diamonds,

The wind was hitting his cheeks and forehead, when he was arriving on his horse,

He tried to cover his face, but it was even worse,

He was coming closer and closer to the old, dirty inn door.

 

Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard,

He tapped on the door and weighted and then saw the door was barred,

Then he tried to tap the window, but nothing came from there……

He tried to tap once more and there he saw the landlord’s black-eyed daughter,

There he saw the landlord’s daughter doing her in there.

 

It was getting darker and darker,

 while they were talking and they did not know the Tim the Osler was listening,

his face become red with anger he was very angry now…………

he dashed inside, without a smile and tried to kill the highwayman, but he could not,

 

Bess the landlords black-eyed daughter slowly came to Tim the Osler,

She said to him “you are not the one I want I do not need you” so Tim the Osler disappointed now took a knife

And …….killed him self,

The next month Bess and the highwayman decided to get married.

Alicia's new Highwayman verses

The moon was howling,

In the dark spooky trees

And the wind was whistling,

In the rusty dried leaves

And the spectre of the Highwayman,

Came riding- riding- riding

Up to the rusty inn- door,

And still they say that Bess and the Highwayman

Go out with each other.

 

Tim the ostler listened- listened-listened

Till his face grew red,

He loved the landlords daughter

Landlords black eyed daughter,

And he vanished behind the shed like a ghost

And the Highwayman did too.

 

Here came king Georges men,

Marching – marching-marching up to the rusty inn-door

They yelled and drank until they came too poor frightened Bess.

 

 

 

Timi's new Highwayman verses

The Highwayman came to see bess

he talked to her and kissed her

and after a minute he missed her

He toled her he would come at afternoon AND tIM THE OSTLER WAS LISTENING

But he didn’t come at noon

he didn’t come at night.

Just after bESS WAS ABOUT THE GO TO BED TIM ORDERED TO THE SOILDERS

TO GARD THIS PLACE

BECAUSE THE HIGHWAYMAN WAS ON HIS WAY.

THREE SOILDERS TIED UP BESS

AND MESSED UP HER BEAUTIFUL DRESS.

SHE WAS SWEATING WITH BLOOD.

THEN SHE SAW THE HIGHWAYMAN,

TRIED TO MOVE BUT THERE WAS NO WAY OUT

AND THE SOILDERS WERE LAUGHING ABOUT.

hER FINGER WAS ABLE TO TOUCH THE TRIGGER.

THEN SHE SAW THE HIGHWAYMAN.

sHE TRIED TO WARN HIM SOMEHOW   

SO SHE PULLED THE TRIGGER AND KILL HERSELF.

THE HIGHWAYMAN TURNED AROUND WENT BACK

ON THE MUDDY TRACK.

THE NEXT DAY HE WOKE UP AND A RICH GUY HIT HIM ON HIS HEAD

WHEN HE WAS STILL IN BED.

HE FORGOT EVERYTHING.

HE wasn’t A HIGHWAYMAN ANYMORE

SO HE BECAME POOR.
