Finish the Story


"Charlie, get up! It's time for school," shouted his mother from the landing. Usually he would just roll over and go back to sleep but today was different. Today was going to be amazing.....

Stories Set in Familiar Places and Science Week

This week we have been learning about stories set in familar places. We have been looking, in particular, at a story called 'One Sweet Too Far', which is set in a school.




Your task this week is to think back to a memorable day that you have experienced at school, and turn it into a story. Remember, this is NOT a diary entry so you must write in the past tense and the third person.


Science Week
During the week beginning the 21st March, we will be taking part in an exciting Science week.  

On Wednesday 23rd we will hold annual Science fair. If you would like to take part, you will need to investigate a scientific problem or a science question that interests you. Ideally, you will carry out an experiment, survey or test, rather than researching the answer to a question in books or on the internet. You can present your work on up to A1 (84cm x 59cm) paper and can bring in objects or photographs to show the results of your experiments.


The work will be displayed in classrooms on Wednesday 23rd March, with classes opening at 3pm for parents and carers to come and see the children’s work. Children will leave school at the usual time of 3.30 (KS1) and 3.35 (KS2).

We look forward to seeing what experiments you will bring this year. The projects will be judged by our guest judges.  Judges will be looking at:
- Presentation of work
- Knowledge and understanding
- Curiosity and scientific enquiry skills
