In February, Year 4 all entered the BBC 500 words story writing competition. Every child in the class worked extremely hard on their entries and I am incredibly proud of all their efforts. One student in particular however deserves an extra round of applause for their achievement.
Yesterday, I had an email from the BBC 500 words to say that Kate had made it through to the next stage of the competition. Out of over 135,000 entries, only 5000 stories have been shortlisted and Kate’s is one of these. Well done Kate- lets hope you make it through to the final 50!

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our school vocabulary parade. Can you spot the child dressed as ‘disguise’ or ‘monochrome’?
Today every child in KS2 shared a book with a child in KS1. The teachers commented on how caring the older children behaved towards the younger children. We have a school filled with future teachers!
We are very impressed with the children’s creative responses to our school challenge of animating a word. Mrs Teale and Mr Frelich will be announcing the competition winners very soon.
There were some amazing outfits in Year 5 for World Book Day. Can you recognise the words they represent?
We all shared stories with each other and some grown-ups came in to join us.
We even shared books with Year 1 children.
What fun we had sharing our books!
