L.I Research for leaders that you admire for what they have done.
We researched for a leader that we admire, the leader that we picked was Rosa Parks. We think she was a good leader a because she wasn’t afraid to in the front of the bus where only white people were only allowed to sit. People were telling her to move but she didn’t listen and stayed in the front of the bus. That showed that she wanted everyone to have equal rights no matter what skin colour you are.

As long as you have a reason on why it doesn’t belong there it is okay. There is more than one that doesn’t belong with the shapes. For example of how this activity worked, there is a triangle and a square, the triangle has three sides and the square has four sides, so this saying what is the difference of each shape. At the end I made my own shape poster, for my challenge to you is to tell me what is the differences between the shapes.

LI: To find and summarise the story behind the poem.
The main characters of this poem are Sir Ralph
(Captain of the boat), Abbot of Aberbrothock (The owner of Inchcape Rock). This poem is about a person named Abbot of Aberbrothock and placed a bell. Another person named Sir Ralph wanted to cut off the bell because Aberbrothock was being blessed to much. Then Sir Ralph cut off the bell and went off to steal more treasure to become rich. Then the weather became windy and rainy. Then his boat crashed into Inchcape Rock, the waves rushed side to side on his boat. The last thing he heard was the sound of the devil ringing his knell.
Our challenge was to unpack the story behind the 17 verses of the poem Inchcape Rock by Robert Southy. The part I found interesting was the sound of the bell under the seas because it was very strange to hear.
I found this activity very interesting because of the new story I heard about Sir Ralph.
