Last week chaos broke out when Mrs Brown and Mr Paffetti suggested that PE be suspended to allow more SATs revision time in Year 6. In stepped Miss Stephenson, to save the day and suggest that Year 6 be given the chance to make their point in a very controversial oracy lesson. Here’s what they had to say.

This week’s oracy lesson in Year 6 cooked up quite a stir. The children have been learning how to use their voices in a clear, loud and powerful way. So repeat after me:
Coffee,
Cheese and biscuits,
Plums and custard,
Beef and carrots,
Fish and chips,
Soup.

The children in Year 6 are enjoying their brand new kindles so much that they wanted to share their experiences with everyone.

This week we were lucky enough to be visited by Alison Phillipson, a literacy consultant who worked with our children and teachers to show how grammar can become amazing writing. Children from Year 2 to Year 6 took part, and as you can see from the pictures below, everyone had fun and produced some incredible work.

This week Mrs Brown is reading ‘Alice in Wonderland’ to the children of Key Stage 1.
