Well done to Barrington 5L yellow tshirt winner this week, what a superstar!

What a fabulous start to hook week in UKS2 💙

Year 5&6 have had a fabulous start to hook week this morning! They have started creating their greenhouse and I am so excited to see it finished! Thank you to everyone who brought in plastic bottles- please keep them coming! The children have also been immersing our environments by creating a range of rainforest animals to display. I can’t wait to see what they get up to for the rest of the week!

Who wants to win a tipi tent sleepover? Let’s get reading in Year 5&6!

In Year 5 & 6 we are having a HUGE push on reading! We have launched a very exciting competition today. Every time a child asses an AR quiz at 85% or above they can put their name into the prize draw. Teachers will read out the names in community crew each week and children can come and place their name in the draw. The more children read at home, the more quizzes they can access in school. The winner will be announced in our final community crew of 2023 and along with their parents, they will be able to choose a tipi sleepover design for two people and they can select a date of their choice to use this.
pictured above are just some of the exciting designs!

Let’s get reading and let’s get quizzing!
