Marvellous Monday 15th November
Mon 16 Nov 2020What a fantastic week we have had last week- it was brilliant to hear about what all the children had been doing.
A big well done to Infant 2 whose duck- Quackman and Bobbin won the children in need duck race on Friday. They have £5 to spend on a book or new outdoor toy of their choice.
Lots of children completed the reading challenge over half term and all those children recieved a small prize including a bookmark this morning. It was so encouraging to see so many children value reading and had enjoyed reading a good range of texts over the holiday. Well done and keep reading!
Lots of year 3 in Junior 1 have been working really hard to impress Mrs Brown and Mrs Stewart and have now recieved a pen license- well done for your beautiful handwriting.
We also had some fantastic achievements in our brilliant book:
Infant 1- Well done to Darci-Rai for your fantastic effort with your reading, you are now blending independently. Wade- Mrs Findlay didn't have room on your certificate to write all the brilliant things you did last week. Keep up that amazing attitude to learning.
Infant 2- A huge congratulations to Rhys for your superb story with excellent adjectives and to Bella for your effort with your maths work. Mr Shaw and Mrs Lever were really impresed.
Junior 1- Daisy and Lissie both really impressed Mrs Stewart and Mrs Brown this week with their writing of their own version of The Tiger Child with added clauses.
Junior 2- Oliver your maths this week really impressed Mr Tyler with your finding of all the factors. Olivia your English work adding a sequal to the UFO diary was superb.
Finally, we presented all year 6 with their leavers hoodies. They can now wear this instead of a school jumper for the rest of the year. We spoke about the responsibility that comes with being in year 6- especially now they can be spotted around school. Enjoy wearing them with pride year 6.
