Issy Roberts: June 2019
I had to share the following piece of writing with you written by Issy in year 4 this morning. The class have been focusing on freedom and captivity as two concepts as part of their literacy and work on the Sustainable Development Goals. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.

I used to be free. Used. I would soar gracefully across the plains, doing cartwheels in the air. Would. I could roam. Could. That was before life changed. Before I got shot down. Before my life was ruined. Before I lost hope. Now I cannot fly. I am enclosed in a small space. I cry. But no-one comes. I plead. But they throw rotten fruit at me. I protest.

It'll never be the same again. It's a lost cause.

We've spent a lot more time than normal inside this week in Base 1 thanks to all the wet weather, but this has meant that we've had a chance to explore our new 'construction zone'. We have created a space where buildings and models can be kept on display when they are finished. To earn the right to do this the children must write a sentence or a label about their model and display...
