Science Week Posters

A selection of Year 6 scientists had the pleasure of judging the class posters from British Science Week. We couldn’t believe the range of topics covered and how much effort all the children put in to show off the theme of Change and Adaptation. We really value the creativity shown by our children and will be sending the winning entries away to the national competition.

Story in a Box Competition

Wow, we are so thrilled to see so many wonderful competition entries for Story in a Box. All of the children who have taken part have worked really hard and we are proud of them all. The children will have the opportunity to share their box with their class on World Book Day. Competition winners will be announced on Thursday during our World Book day assembly.

Some children have said that they have left their entry at home – we have therefore extended the deadline until tomorrow morning.

Thank you for your continued support.
