A Bugatti Veyron Supersport breaking the speed limit in a blur of fiery red,
A purple banana smoothie made of the first purple banana, yum!
A first bite of a snail,
The holder of the world record for the 110m hurdles,
James Bond’s Aston Martin,
I could do Gangnam style from the age of one,
Cooler than cool,
Hotter than a minion from Despicable Me.
A Lamborghini Aventador breaking the speed limit,
A parallel universe made out of floating water glistening in the light,
A pasta tree which is five centimetres and you eat whole,
A crushed up carrot in a delicious carrot cake,
A tennis ball hit and signed by Andy Murray in the Wimbledon finals,
I am Ironman’s suit.
My part time job is being Monjolor (Thor’s Hammer),
I’m cooler than ice,
I am hotter than the Great Fire of London.
A Ferrari, windows flashing in the sunlight,
A universe, still out there somewhere,
The first bite to the last of the finest Calamari in the world,
That thrilling moment where you take off to clear a giant hurdle.
I can walk in thin air,
Cooler than cool itself,
Hotter than hot itself.
I am the caravan that me and my mum go for adventures in,
An inventor like Joseph Bazalguette,
A blood orange to make your tongue twist,
A judo champion that defeats everyone,
A pixie from Oz Great and Powerful,
I can make the world rest in peace,
Cooler than a mermaid’s touch,
Hotter than a witch’s cauldron.
I am a sparkling leaf green Mr Bean car speeding into a tree,
A live purple pineapple dodging incoming knives,
The first taste of a holy, award-winning fish finger with custard,
The last racket in Andy Murray’s bag,
The last suit that Iron Man blew up,
I can make money grow on trees,
I’m cooler than anything that’s cool,
Hotter than a million suns.
A red gleaming Ferrari, speeding around corners,
The biggest tropical fish in the world,
Scales shimmering in the sun light.
The last fruity Mento in the pack waiting to be eaten,
The finishing hurdle of an Olympic athlete,
I can jump as high as the moon,
Cooler than epic,
Hotter than the Earth’s core.
A Ferrari speeding through red lights,
The first rocket to touch the moon,
The first taste of fresh lemon drizzle,
A new Beth Tweddle winning gold.
A Smurf from the Smurf Movie,
Cooler than a breeze in the wind,
Hotter than a volcano exploding.
A Jaguar driving by,
A hidden jewel growing deep in the rocks,
The chocolate chips in the cake,
The springs in a trampoline,
I am the magic that hides the path,
I am cooler than the frozen north,
I am hotter than a white light.
A Lamborghini gleaming in the sun while breaking the speed limit,
An undiscovered fruit sunbathing in the sun
I would be a Chinese food,
A famous runner.
I am a Despicable Me minion
I can do a handstand for a day.
Cooler than Gary Barlow,
I’m hotter than the sun.
A Range Rover as white as snow,
an undiscovered person,
the first bite of a red hot spicy masala
a jumping hurdler,
Hermione from Harry Potter,
I can predict the future.
Cooler than Bruno Mars
Hotter than boys.

Let me tell you about when my daughter, Bess, met her end. 
One gloomy night my Bess was upstairs in her room while I was in the cellars, looking for some more ale for tomorrow.But then I heard footsteps above me. I thought it must of just been Bess getting a drink, so I carried on dwelling through the cellars. But then I heard more than a couple of footsteps. I tried pushing the trap-door opento get out of the cellars but somebody was standing on it! I banged on the door and shouted “get me out!” But suddenly the wieght lifted off and the trapdoor swung open.
I ran upstairs and there was ale every where, chairs flipped over, mud all over the tables. I immediately grabbed a cloth and cleaned the tables furiously. But then I realised there were boot prints on the table. “Who danced on the table!?” I shouted. But suddenly I heard a gun shot from upstairs in Bess’s room.
I hurried upstairs and what did I see? Bess, covered in her own scarlet blood, slouched on a pillar with rope tied around her waist.
Magic hair that speaks to you
Every day must be careful not to brush her hair
Dread the day she needs a haircut
Uses her snakes as her friends
Slimy snakes that give you the shivers
Animal mayhem in her hair.

Ominous being
Ruthless Sky killer
Thanks to Years 5, 6 and 7 who observed a minute’s silence in this afternoon’s assembly hosted by Mounts in memory of everyone who has ever taken part in a war. The assembly featured much of the work on World War One that is already published on this blog.
We move on from World War One to study Recount texts next. If you have any comments about Michael Foreman’s The War Game do feel free to write something in the Book Talk section of the blog. I think the ending surprised and shocked many of us. You can read more about Michael Foreman on this Puffin Books page: http://www.puffin.co.uk/nf/Author/AuthorPage/0,,1000010989,00.html#BIO

For the National Poetry Day earlier this month we composed poems on the theme of stars. The entries were judged by a school panel of English expert. Mounts were particularly successful in the Year 5 competition:
Lizzie’s poem ‘ I have to Write a Stupid Poem’ was Commended by the judges https://mountsbridgewater.wordpress.com/2012/10/10/a-different-approach-from-lizzie/
Evie’s ‘Sun, Moon, Jupiter Revealed’ Was Highly Commended https://mountsbridgewater.wordpress.com/2012/10/10/star-moon-jupiter-revealed-by-evie/
Here is Alex’s winning poem:
A Star is A star is a blazing light in the sky, Glittering, twinkling. A star is a shiny golden coin Bouncing in the Mediterranean sands. A star is a blustery light in the sky, Glowing brightly. A star is found in a trapdoor in the sky, Beaming down. A star is a peace of rock, Fired from a catapult, Into the darkness above.
