Crew Meade,
We hope you like your child’s end of year gifts. It’s linked to one of our favourite books. Imagine if they keep it until they’re adults and can look back and smile at their time in F2, remembering they are perfect in their own unique way! Thank you Crew Meade for all your hard work and support this year! #LovePlover
Next year, our lovely Year 5&6 pupils will participate in half-termly spelling bee’s in their crews. We will be kick-starting the first half-term with the above spellings. Every week, the children will be given a list of 10 spellings from the above list to learn ahead of their spelling test. Every time a child scores 7 out of 10 or above, they will have their name added to the spin the wheel. At the end of the half-term, at our spelling bee, we will spin the wheel and six children will have the opportunity to represent their crew. They will be given a further ten spellings from the list (ones they have already been tested on) and if they score seven or above on the day, they will be able to choose from one of our fantastic prizes: an Amazon voucher, a Stanley cup, a chocolate hamper, a sweet hamper or a sports hamper as well as further prizes which will be confirmed in the autumn term.
You have to be in it to win it so over the summer is a perfect opportunity to get ahead with your spellings!

You’re sure of a big surprise for Year 3 and 4!
Yesterday was the third and final event as part of this year’s National Literacy Trust Young Readers programme and we held the event at Sandall Beat Woods.
The children all chose their third free book and we went to the wood to enjoy reading and sharing our stories in the open air with nature all around us.
It was great to welcome parents and carers to the event and so lovely to see the children sharing the books with their family.
After a biscuit or two, we circled up, shared a story and completed the last community crew of the year.
We have felt so lucky to be selected to take part in the programme this year, and really hope we get the opportunity to do it again in the future.

The children who purchased some Boggledy Books loved their new stories!
Thank you also to Boggledy Book Shop for providing all F2 children with a book to keep. #LovePlovef
Well done to the boys in green phonics group who were working hard on reading correctly and speedy in their phonics this morning. #LovePlover
A few weeks ago, we were visited by staff from Amazon who launched their Young Readers event with us. We listened to a great story about super heroes then designed our own super hero in small groups. We even got to dress a person from each group up as the super hero that we designed! It was great fun!
Later on, every child was lucky enough to be able to choose a book to keep. There was a huge selection to choose from and everyone seemed to enjoy their choice as they relaxed with a biscuit and quiet book reading time…
The next event is next week…I can’t wait! I love books.

Last week we had a very special visitor from the book ‘The Great Fairytale Disaster’. We noticed wolf footprints in the classroom and saw videos of Wolfy around our playground. We have a few letters Wolf had written and the children wanted to help. They wrote kind messages to Wolf, made him food and built him a house to live in as his had been blown down! #LovePlover
This week we have been learning about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD that buried the city of Pompeii.
We read the book ‘Escape from Pompeii’ and acted out some role plays as the main characters.
We have also been learning about rocks and the rock cycle this week, which culminated in our very own ‘Rock Museum’. We made posters to describe the rocks on display and the toured round looking at the different types of rocks and their properties. Who would have thought the rubble under our feet could be so interesting!
