We had the game ‘Word Jungle’
embedded on this page,
but it was just TOO noisy.
Every time anyone opened our page,
they heard jungle drums
and monkeys chattering
and the neighbours were starting to complain 😉

This time of year, we are revising the grammar
we have learned during the year.
We found this great game.
It is called Grammar Ninja.

and we certainly get to revise our grammar.
Try it and see.
We really like the music 🙂

You will have to make decisions
and solve problems in this gameÂ
to complete it successfully.
This link comes from the wonderful
Woodlands Junior School in Kent website
and this game was creative by a student
in that school; Mark from Year 6.

The first one is a bit of a novelty
but ‘Story Maker’ is a very good site indeed.
Save it for a rainy day by Neal on Flickr
I am going to make a collection of websites
that you might find passes the time on a rainy day.
Every year I ask the children in my class,
if you were an animal what animal would you be,
and why ?
We draw a picture of ourselves as that animal.
This results in some interesting self portraits.
Online I found an art activity where you can do something similar:
Draw a self portrait
and then make it even more original
by adding animal ears and tail etc.
I am reposting the following link
from earlier this year.
It contains many creative online art activities:
Online interactive art activities
Try this one.
I think you will like it.

Here is another one:
Scribbler for beautiful pictures
As well as art there are websites where you can create your own music.
I like this one:

What a summer! All that rain!

It rained and rained and rained and rained,
The average was well maintained;
And when our fields were simply bogs,
It started raining cats and dogs.
After a drought of half an hour,
There came a most refreshing shower;
And then the queerest thing of all,
A gentle rain began to fall.
Next day ’twas pretty fairly dry,
Save for a deluge from the sky.
This wetted people to the skin,
But after that the rain set in.

Looking forward to a good September.
A sunny start to the new school term,
would be good.
