Congratulations to our 4 winners, chosen from 1695 entries! Sinead Versey, Alec McNab, Matthew Frost and Rebeca Stoica have been invited to a poetry workshop and awards ceremony on November 6th at Snape Maltings!
Forty children from years 5 and 6 worked with the author James Campbell today. Apparently he was hilarious and inspired them to be confident writers.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... I mean school, forty other year 6 children studied the poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson entitled 'The Charge of the Light Brigade.' Of course this involved charging across the playground, acting out each stanza! See the slideshow below for pictures!
Year 3 , 4 and 6 children from across the Pyramid really enjoyed working with the poet Fred Sedgwick - they were inspired to 'go for it' and learned that they did, indeed, have something valuable to say.
We had a magical time reading ‘The Polar Express’ story by Chris Van
Allsburg in classes and groups, and tried to get as many children as
possible reading at once! We would definitely recommend this book as a
Christmas gift!
Here are some opinions from Dolphin Class:
‘I had a brilliant time. It was cool when the boy got to stand on Santa’s sleigh. In the book, there were brilliant views.’ Ben
‘I liked when the guards gave the children hot chocolate that was thick. I
imagined drinking it all aboard The Polar Express’. Ashraf
‘I really enjoyed the story and liked how the train came to you so you didn’t have to go to the train. The hot chocolate was like melted chocolate bars!’ Belle
