As part of our efforts to raise the profile of writing, every child in the school has the opportunity to enter the BBC 500 Words Writing Competition.

“Children of all abilities are encouraged to use their creativity and imagination to write a story they would love to read without the pressure of having to worry about spelling, punctuation and grammar.” – BBC 500 Words website. 

Entries must be submitted digitally, so Yr 6 children have been allowed to take their writing home with them, to be submitted at home.  Children have had multiples opportunities in school to write an entry, so everyone should have something that they can submit.

Please see the website for more information on the competition included rules, prizes and how to submit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/500-words

Many thanks.

6K have the light dome visit on Tuesday morning and Beech’s base in the afternoon. Children are welcome to come to school in their outdoor clothes but will need indoor schools for the morning activities.
Please remember outdoor coats and wellies for the afternoon. It is going to be muddy!

Just a reminder that Yr 6 will be swimming on MONDAY next week due to our Light Workshop taking place on Tuesday.

Please ensure your swimming kit is in school on Monday.

Many thanks,

Yr 6

We have a busy day planned for Tuesday. We have the light dome in the morning and Beech’s base in the afternoon. Children are welcome to come to school in their Beech’s base clothing, but I do ask that they wear appropriate shoes/trainers for the morning activities. Wellies and outdoor coats will be needed for the afternoon.

Dear parents of 6B,
As you know, Explorer Dome are coming to visit year 6 on the morning of Tuesday 24th October. The first show begins at 8:45am, so please could I ask that members of class 6B only come to school at the earlier time of 8:30am.
Thank you.
