Willow Star Writer
Willow's star writer this week is Abena. Her description of a beach during the day was fantastic. The use of adjectives and verbs transported us, the readers, to the seaside!
Rashida's 100 word challenge
Last week a group of children in year 4 attempted the ZooKeeper 100 word challenge. The children were given the task of using a particular phrase within a short paragraph that needed to be 100 words long. All of the children were able to complete the task using a range of adventurous vocabulary. Rashida Sillah's was particularly good therefore she got the opportunity to publish her entry onto the ZooKeeper website. A very big well done to Rashida and I know the children are already looking forward to next weeks challenge. Until then...
Sequoia Star Writer

Year 3 spellings week beginning 5/10/15
Here are the spellings for this week. The spelling test will be on Friday every week. Please encourage your child to look up the definitions of the words as some are trickier than expected. A reminder that children are expected to bring their spelling book to school every Friday.
World War 2 evacuation talk
On Thursday afternoon the year 3 children were exceptionally privileged to hear the account of Mr Cook (Miss Cook's grandad!), who was evacuated to the Suffolk countryside during the war. The children had thought of lots of questions to ask about the upheaval Mr Cook experienced during this time. History really came to life for the children as they realised Mr Cook was the same age as them when he was taken from his father and mother in wartime Romford.
