Writers of the Week!

Firstly, a HUGE congratulations to Year 6; you have completed your week of SATs successfully and with smiles on your faces! Hooray! Enjoy your weekend!

Our fabulous Writer of the Week is Teddy in St. Anne's Class. Teddy wrote this marvellous descriptive piece this week and we were all incredibly impressed. Well done, Teddy!

We have seen some fantastic work in Early Years this week- well done everyone!

In Key Stage One, we were very impressed by Cahal's free writing in Year 1- he chose to write this wonderful story on his own. Wow!

Well done everyone, keep writing!

A Very Exciting Day!

Today, we received a very exciting royal message at St. Anthony's. We were all surprised to find many mysterious keys around the school today, however we were astonished that Her Royal Highness the Queen had heard about it! She had been told about our mystery at her 90th birthday party yesterday.

Her Majesty requested that we investigate this mystery for her (and her Royal Keeper of the Keys). Each child needed to write to her, to let her know where we thought the keys had come from and what they might unlock.

Lots of pictures to follow on the blog next week!

World Book Day!

We have had a marvellous day at St. Anthony's! We all dressed up as our favourite book characters and enjoyed a day of reading! We also raised lots of money for the important charity: Book Aid International.

Even the adults were dressed up today! Here are pictures of just a few of them (for more photos of our Book Week- take a look at the monitor in the office from next week!):

We had an exciting assembly this afternoon and four children were presented with special book prizes for their 'Mystery Reader' photos.

Congratulations to:

Vwegba in St. Julie's

Deborah in St. Francis'

Calum in St. George's

Bella in St. John's

We will put up a post with their winning 'Mystery Reader' entries this weekend!

The whole school worked hard to write a special story today, which was read enthusiastically by our Digital Writing Team this afternoon. Tomorrow, the story will be up on the blog for you all to enjoy.

Watch this space for 'Miniature Max's Massive Mars Mission'!

Also, remember to keep your eyes peeled for anything unusual- you know how St. Anthony's is rather prone to getting odd visitors...
