Job applications

I am having a very enjoyable afternoon reading job applications some Year 6 children have written for the post of volunteer readers in Reception.  They are very professional and will stand them in good stead in the future jobs market.  Well done Year 6!

Fiction Express

I've just been catching up on the new Fiction Express stories.  Hope you're enjoying the new features - I like changing the font.  Sleepers is great.  Reminds me a lot of Doctor Who, I keep expecting a Cyberman to appear!

Special book week visitors

Wow! What an amazing day we have had.  This morning The Gruffalo made a special appearance.  He was very popular, even Mr Burton and Mr Pring wanted a picture!

Then, this afternoon, Andy from Cbeebies came to visit!  The children were speechless!

Many thanks to both our special visitors for helping make Book Week even more memorable than usual.

Book making

As part of Book Week, every child has been making their own book.  Different year groups have been learning how to make different kinds of book.  Year 3 have made some lovely pop up books.

Whilst Year 6 look quite puzzled about how they are going to turn these simple resources into spectacular books.  Check back soon for the results!

New Fiction Express on Friday!

Looking forward to the new Fiction Express stories released on Friday...

Year 3 and 4 - Snaffles and the Moonfish Mystery by Cavan Scott
Snaffles the Cat Burglar is back, and this time he has a fishy mystery to solve. Travelling to outer space, will Snaffles and his dozy canine sidekick, Bonehead, succeed? You decide! 

Year 5 and 6 - The Golden Amulet by Alex Woolf
In this Anglo-Saxon adventure, a chieftain's daughter attempts to rescue her father from his Viking captors. Will she succeed? You decide! 

(remember you can always read both!)

Read for my school

The school has successfully run the Read for my School competition for the past few years in Year 6.  This year we are opening up the competition to all of KS2.  All  you need to do is read as many books as you can and record them on the website (what a great way to spend half term!).  You can read actual paper books (from home, school, the library, shops e.t.c.) and there are over 150 online books available on the website.

Go to: www.readformyschool.co.uk  
Username: Your first and last name
Password: Your AR/STAR username (you can find this in your yellow reading record.  It needs to be in capitals)
Class code 847912

The competition runs till the end of next term. Teachers will be nominating pupils who have read the most books and who have written the best book review.  Good luck!

P.S I'm looking forward to the new Fiction Express stories next term
