Celebration Picnic

We had a lovely day on Friday 20th May when we celebrated our good Ofsted result with all of our friends. It was great to see everyone.

Here are a few photos of our day....

YEAR 4 TIME TRAVELLING STORIES

Just before Christmas, the amazing writers (year 4) entered a 100 word story competition… The competition was about time-travel, but we were only allowed to have 100 words in our stories. It was tricky for me because I’m used to writing lots and lots! We were all bursting out of our seats with excitement because every single child in the class had their story approved to be published into a book, I nearly screamed with joy when I heard my name.

We waited for days and days and some of us forgot about it until a box of books came. As soon as the box came, everyone on my table began to whisper about what could be in the box… I had a feeling I knew what it was!

Later, Mrs Bromage opened the box and it was all of our impressive stories. When we got to read some of the stories, not only was I proud of myself, I was also proud of everyone else in the book.

The school has a copy if you would like to read our stories and it is also in libraries across the country.

Well done fellow Skylarks!

Tennis Festival

On Tuesday 3^rd May, our class (Skylarks) were going to go to King’s school and get better at tennis.

We left at 12:30 after we had our lunch. Before I knew it, we had left school and started walking to King’s. We got there at 1 o’clock and went to our first activity. But before that, we split into groups. My group was Alex, Charlie, Joseph, Dylan CW, Kara and Bayleigh. The first activity was the ladders and my partner was Charlie. You had to run through the ladders with the racket and then they would throw you a ball for you to hit back, then you would switch.

My favourite activity was squash because we kept hitting it so hard we had to run and get it, and it was a bit competitive. The most energetic drill was the cone game. You were against someone, and the leader said things to distract you, and then when he said ‘Go!’ you had to grab the cone.

Later on, it was the end of the festival and we walked back. After that, I liked tennis more and I will play it more.
