What has been happening in school? Have a read 😊

• J K Rowling would like you to illustrate her new story!

  Fri 29 May 2020 Kate Long

  How exciting is this! J K Rowling is in the middle of writing a brand new children's adventure story. She's publishing new chapters every day and she'd like YOU to send her illustrations to go with it. Also, it's a competition and the best pictures will be published! But even if you don't win, Rowling is tweeting and commenting on the best entries she's receiving. (If you want to check that out, you'll have to ask an adult to show you.) 

   

  You can read Rowling's new story, and see the competition details here.

  

• Thank you to the team for organising school to start our phased return

  Fri 29 May 2020 M.Jones

  In these challenging times, school is a very different place. We have worked hard to ensure the school has had a full deep clean, classrooms are stripped back, tables are 2 metres apart (which is hard to accommodate even in our large hall), each classroom has a hand washing station, class groups are organised into bubbles so that there is no cross over of children. 

   

  We will be taking one day at a time, please ensure you are using the correct entrance for arrival and pick up. Our lovely staff will be there to greet you.   The layout and the fabric of the school may have changed but our caring, energetic, hardworking team are just as committed to doing the best for each and everyone of you as ever. 

   

  If you are key worker families please can you remember to email and book your children in so that we have an up to date register. 

  

• Star work of the week

  Fri 29 May 2020 M.Jones

  Well done to all our children and families for providing the best experiences during this difficult time. Have a look through the photos to see if your work features this week. It is wonderful to see so many children do some ‘real life tasks’ at home too.   My favourite is hoovering the car 🚙. 

   

  Well done to class 2 as you are at the top of the leader board this week for progressions and usage.  You are working really hard - keep it up!

• Super star work!

  Fri 15 May 2020 M.Jones

  Another ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS week of home learning!  We are so proud of each and every one of you.  I can see that many of you have done so much work that your exercise book is finished, so thank you to parents/carers for finding new books and overcoming another hurdle. 

   

  It is wonderful to see that amidst the chaos of decisions this week our children are powering on being brilliant and we want you all to know that you are living out this terms value in spectacular style! Persevere everyone, we are championing you all!

  

• C4's Macro Photography Competition

  Fri 15 May 2020 Kate Long

  Class 4 have been taking macro (close-up) photos as part of a competition. Pop over to their page to see the amazing entries we've had. The winner was this beautiful study of forget-me-nots, which uses soft and sharp focus to highlight the subject of the composition. 

   

  Why not take a few of your own? There's beauty in all sorts of unexpected places, if you look closely.
