Although this school is known for their great story writing, they are also known for brilliant Slam poetry!

The school has decided to have a school slam poetry competition for all classes to enter! Slam Poetry is poetry that gets performed to an audience such as your family, siblings, friends and more! There will be a prize for the winner.

Here are some slam poetry quotes:

Blue= Shel Silverstein,

Purple= William Shakespeare,

Aqua= Tamia, year 6!

“Listen to the mustn’ts child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’t haves, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me. Anything can happen child. Anything can be.” 

By Shel Silverstein

“The course of true love never did run smooth.”

By William Shakespeare

“I’m a poet who will never be shy!”

By Tamia

Congratulations to Mrs Ward and her daughter Helen who gave birth to a baby boy on Monday 26th January 2015 at early hours around 7am. He is called Leo and weighed 8 pounds and 8 ounces (which weighs a lot if you did not know).

So now one of the main points are… Mrs Ward is now classed as a Grandmother and sometimes for a joke we call her Granny Ward.

Mrs Ward says: “I am very proud of Helen and happy for her to have a baby boy. My Grandson Leo is very cute with a smile on his face and I am actually so suprised that I am now a Grandmother!”

Every Wednesday in the morning, the year 2 teacher Mrs George runs an assembly for the school called ‘The Maths Assembly’. Here is what happens every week…

First, as all children enter the hall, Mrs George plays music and then this is followed by the morning prayer. Then the first actual part is when the foundation stage count from 1 to 20. Then key stage 1 do their 2 times tables and next key stage 2 play a game of “beat the teacher” where two teachers play against two children doing different times table. The team with the most points wins.

Finally, we end with maths challenges for each class. For example two consecutive numbers that make 13 (but with different questions by the way). So the person with the correct answer wins. Try some of the different activities at home!
