Fabulous Writing!

This week, we would like to say a huge, special congratulations to two children who have done some marvellous writing outside of classtime.

Freya in Year 2 and Alessia in Year 4 have both created some wonderful writing this week, that we are very excited to share with you here on our blog. Well done, girls!

Fantastic work, girls! It's very inspiring to see children doing such brilliant writing in their own time.

Wonderful Writing!

As well as the exciting Giant Egg writing this week, many children produced some other excellent pieces of work. Here are just a few wonderful examples:

Recipe Competition!

Following our recent successful comic competition, where you all surpassed yourselves with some funny and well-written comic strips, we are opening a new competition. A recipe competition!

We all love a slice of cake, but if you're the kind of person with a taste for thinking up the recipe behind them, this competition is for you! We are looking for any kind of recipe- it could be a favourite, or it could be one you recently wrote. Remember, it has to be your own recipe- simply copying from somewhere is definitely not permitted. You are allowed to change a recipe you have found, perhaps adding things to it, and then making it your own. You must make sure it is in your own words. This is a great opportunity for budding cooks- so please ask us if you are interested! Good luck!

This Week's Wonderful Writing!

We have all enjoyed our first week back at school after half term. All of our new topics are underway and a few classes went on interesting trips this week. What was your highlight of the week?

Some magnificent Beowulf writing from St. George's Class:

A wonderful recount of Paulo (St. Anne's) trip to Fatima. Paulo created this wonderful book at home- we were so impressed that we had to make him our Writer of the Week!

A fantastic diary entry from Onateri in St. Peter's. We spotted some great fronted adverbials and noun phrases!

Book of the Week!

This week, we have especially chosen our Book of the Week, for all ages. 'We Are All Born Free' is written by Amnesty International to teach The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is a beautifully illustrated book with meaningful pictures drawn by a number of well-loved artists.

It states the 30 rules that apply to everyone around the world, not just those who share the same religion or opinions.

This Week's Fabulous Writing!

Firstly, a HUGE thank you to Mr. O'Neill and St. Patrick's Class for the lovely mention of our blog in their excellent assembly today! We were all delighted and appreciated the publicity- thank you!

It has been another bumper week for writing at St. Anthony's... but something tells us that next week we be even better! Keep your eyes peeled at school next week for interesting or strange clues about what might be happening...

Early Years

An Ice Palace Description:

Abruptly, I heard a cry. At first I thought it was a person but then I realised it was really a wolf pack. I felt extremely bewildered.  

Suddenly I thought, and realised the wolves were coming for me, so I needed to think quickly and quietly. As they appeared in shady figures, I suddenly felt the breeze changing direction, right into a mighty colossal oak tree.

I rapidly stumbled up the tree and the wolves surrounded me knowing that, that was the last straw. It was as cold as my aunty's ice-cream factory and I felt like just clumsily giving up and saying farewell. I started to unravel and thought about falling into the mass of fur and fangs.
