Pirate Invasion!

Last week, something very strange happened at St. Anthony's. As we arrived at school, on a biting cold Friday morning, we began to notice some rather unusual objects. On the gates, we spotted this warning tape:

In the playground, a huge pirate flag was waving in the wind and all around the school we found keys, a gold earring, gold bars, many eye-patches and some seashells, amongst other clues. How bizarre!

When we went into class, in every room we found a pirate flag and a very odd (and some thought rather suspicious) letter from Mr. A. R. R. Buckles from the museum of Precious Incredible Rare And Treasured Exhibits.

After reading the letter, every class spent some time exploring and investigating the school grounds for clues. In St. Julie's Class, the children decided that anyone wearing stripes must be an undercover pirate! Some classes even suspected members of staff- how dare they?!

Eventually, we discovered the treasure that Mr. Buckles was searching for!

Here are some of the fantastic pieces of writing that children from St. Anthony's created on Friday:

Wonderful Writing!

This week we have been celebrating Friendship Week at school- we'll put up some pictures of some great friendship writing next week.

Here's some of the marvellous writing we have spotted this week!

Congratulations to Emily in St. Agnes for this fantastic spooky story that she wrote at home. Emily was chosen to be our Writer of the Week! Hooray!

We're back! We all enjoyed having the team back together this week. We spotted some fantastic work from around the school this week. Here are just a few highlights of some of the great writing we read:

Huge congratulations to our Writer of the Week, Rory in St. Clare's! Rory wrote this marvellous letter to the U.N. asking for their help in stopping nuclear warfare. Mrs Parrott said it was the best piece of writing Rory has written all year- WOW!

We were very impressed by these beautiful poems, inspired by Kenya, written by some children in St. George's Class.

Here are some more powerful and emotive letters to the United Nations, written by children in St. Clare's Class. We posted the letters on Friday, and we are hopeful that they will respond. We have received two letters from the government this year in response to our letters; hopefully the U.N. will also write back to us!

We have taken a small break from the St. Anthony's Writes blog for the last couple of weeks, as many of our team have been doing their SATS, then enjoying their school journey.

Next week, we will be back up and running!
