Well done to Josh and Grace in Y6 who joined the Half Millionaire club last week. Keep up the amazing reading!
This week we were lucky enough to have a visit from the writer, rapper and teaching sensation- Christian Foley.
Christian made a big first impression on the children, wowing us with his freestyling skills in a whole school assembly. The children loved his performance and joined in with his nursery grimes and other freestyles.
He then worked with all children from Reception to Year 6 in workshops to develop their poetry skills. The children got to hear stories that Christian has written and also come up with their own ideas.
It has been amazing to see how inspired the children have been following this visit and I know they enjoyed it.
His books can be purchased online.

Last week Year 1 visited our local library at Cleadon Park to learn more about what the library offers and of course look at some of the fantastic stories. We enjoyed listening to a Spring time story about Percy the park keeper and all his friends, completing activites and found some fantastic books.
The children were amazed to find out that they could become a member at the library for FREE! If you would like to sign your child up to become a member you can sign up online at:
