June 11-22nd

In English we have started our extended novel focusing on Kensuke's Kingdom . Working with Mr Davies children are reading the book together , learning about the characters , predicting and discussing ideas and finding out how a good writer makes a story interesting . During the week children stood in the outline of the PeggySue (the boat on which the family set out on their adventure) and were able to visualise what it would be like living in such a small space . Children will be coming home with reading homework so please talk and discuss the chapter that they are asked to read together. . Our spelling unit is 15 and we have already spent a week looking at the focus so the test is this Friday (22nd). In Live and Learn Like a Champion our focus is courage . Most children have now completed at least their Bronze award so please continue to help and support the activities in the booklet. We have had a run through of some of our sports events in readiness for a dry and sunny Sports Day this Wednesday and are all hoping that the weather is kind unlike on Friday when unfortunately Small School Sports was cancelled due to a water logged field. On Friday those children who applied to Mrs Marshall , enjoyed taking part in the Knex challenge. Well done Oscar and Matthew for designing and making the winning stadium.(photos will follow)
