The Lost Words

In English we are looking at the book of poetry called The Lost Words. The book has a selection of acrostic poems based on nature words that were removed from the Oxford Junior Dictionary in 2015.

We've learnt about the different poetic devices used, had a go at performing 'Adder' and created our very own version of 'Fern' - fern-tastic!

IT - Message from 1001101 1100001 1110010 1110011!

This week we learnt about Binary (ASCII code) and how the Mars Rover used this to communicate. Our IT reporter George writes, "We did Binary text, you basically make letters out of Binary. Today our challenge was using a code sheet we had to make a message from an astronaut on Mars to send to Earth."
