Arrthur the sailing cat
Arrthurs a sailing cat he’s called the pirate claw.
For he’s the pirate captain who can do so much more.
He’s the bafflement of other ships, the conquer of the water.
For when you see an empty ship, Arthur is there!
Arrthur Arrthur always sailing seas,
You hardly ever see him for he’s sailing with the breeze.
Arrthur Arrthur never off the water
For he’s secretly stealing sons and daughters.
Arrthur Arrthur boots as black as coal
Even darker then a black hole
Arrthur is a ginger cat hes tall and fin
Arrthur has a very small chin
Arrthurs head is domed
He loves his whiskers to be combed.
He’s very sharing (they say he’s the best at finding gold)
If you barging him it will never be sold.
Arrthur is tactical,
Also can be practical.
Arrthur loves to be a joker,
Did you know he’s really good at poker?
Arrthur has a crew of five,
They all can beat a bee hive.
Arrthur Arrthur he is best
Everyone knows he’s better than the rest
You know him if you saw him
Because his gold is not slim
If you went on a ship,
be careful you might take a dip.
His sword is sharp as a nail,
Arrthur is not as slow as a snail.
But whenever you see a ship,
Arrthur is there!!!

Romero the Archaeologist cat
Martha Sowerby
Romero’s an archaeologist cat; he’s called the master digger
For he’s a mini Einstein, his brain is so much bigger
He is super sensible; he always does what he’s told
Even when he’s in a hole, especially digging for gold
You will know him if you see him, for there will always be a breeze
And you will always catch him saying thank you and please
His fur is rough and spiky, he’s a tabby cat
He’s very tall and wide, he is rather fat
His big blue eyes are covered in mud
And when you see him walking you will always hear a thud
He’s confident in maths, [they say he’s the human sum]
And he’s good at music, he can play the drum
He loves going to school, he especially likes homework
He has a lot of friends but sometimes he’s a jerk
He hasn’t got much family but he loves his mum and dad
They are very kind; he has a sibling that is a lad
You will know him if you see him, for there will always be a breeze
And you will always catch him saying thank you and please
Romero, Romero there’s no one like Romero
He’s a handsome clever cat
And on his head he wears a top hat
You will know him if you see him, for there will always be a breeze
And you will always catch him saying thank you and please
We investigated the geography of Carnforth, thinking about its physical and human features, types of building and land use.

To help us write our own stories, based on Beowulf, we created monsters from modelling clay. We tried to find ambitious words to describe our creatures like muscular and venomous.
After reading the story of Beowulf, we created our own scene to explore the thoughts of the different characters. We had noble kings, brave warriors and downtrodden servants.
The Demon Headmaster
We have been studying the character of the Demon Headmaster. We drew what we thought he looked like based on the story and then wrote character descriptions.
These are some of our exciting sentences.
"His face was white and his cloak black, making him look like a magpie."
"He wears clothes as dark as midnight."
"He was as thin as a pencil."
