Amazing Authors' Appeal!
As part of our World Book Day celebrations next week, we will be launching some reading incentives to help our quest to encourage a love of reading. For our older children, we will also be striving to encourage a variety of reading material.
For children in Years 4, 5 and 6, we will be introducing a challenge which encourages them to read widely from books written by a selection of amazing authors.
In order for this to be successful, we will be opening a special section in our school library which will contain a host of books written by these specially chosen authors.
The list of authors can be found below. We would like to gather together as many books written by these authors as possible. Any donations of either second hand or new books written by these authors would be gratefully received.
We have had some special labels printed to stick into the front of any books sent in, to show which family donated them.
Many thanks for your support

Science Boffins Kick Off Science Week!
Today we had a visit from the 'Science Boffins' who got our Science Week off to a super sonic start! We had assemblies with some amazing experiments and then smaller workshops with year groups learning about the 'plasma ball' and creating 'playful polymers'! Ask your children to find out more!
Foodbank Collection
Thank you to everyone who sent in donations for our collection to help support the foodbank over the school holidays. Once again, we were able to fill their van due to the generosity of our families. The foodbank later phoned to say our donation weighed in at a quarter of a tonne! Wow!
6S collected the most food this time and will receive a treat from Mrs Penney after half term!
