Fantastic Writing!

Congratulations to all of the wonderful writers we have chosen this week!

Our 'Writer of the Week' is Max in St. Patrick's, for his marvellous story opening. We all wanted to read more of the story- we hope you'll write the rest of it soon, Max! Well done!

Congratulations to Mia in St. Anne's for this excellent comic strip. Ms Yanez was especially impressed by how hard you worked on Thursday. Well done!

Well done Aurora, in St. George's, for this lovely poem (with beautiful illustrations) that she wrote at home. We love to see work that children have done at home!

This incredible 'Flood' story was written by Jessica in St. Clare's. We loved the way that the tension builds and found the story so dramatic. Well done!

 

This fantastic emoji story was written by Natalia in St. Thomas'- it was the winner from Mrs Parrott's group on Tuesday. Hooray!

Take a look at these revolting menus created by St. Paul's Class. We were so impressed (and rather disgusted!) by their elaborate ideas and hideous imaginations! Yuck!

Book of the Week!

Sam is miserable. His parents have gone on a trip to the moon and he has been left in the care of the beastly Hilda Hardbottom. Life can't get any worse- until one day a spaceship lands in his cabbage patch; out of it steps a friendly little alien called Splodge. Splodge is a fantastic new friend for Sam, especially since he knows how to make him invisible! 'The Invisible Boy', by Sally Gardner, is perfect for 7+, and its combination of fun and magic is a perfect recipe for a story to be enjoyed time and time again.

Year 6: we wish you all the best of luck for your SATs week ahead. We all know you have nothing to worry about- you are amazing and we are all very proud of you!

Books of the Week!

We have some key-themed book selections for you this week!

'The Secret Garden', By Frances Hodgson Burnett, is a beautiful and descriptive book, that tells a moving story of a young girl and her new experience in England. After her parents' sudden death, Mary is sent to live with her uncle...
A perfect book for 8-12 year olds.

This book, by Sally Gardner-  appropriate for 11 year olds up - is a captivating story about a family and secrets. 'The Key That Led to Where' is a wonderful book. When A.J. finds a key and unusual events follow, he discovers many secrets... and lies, along the way. A door is found and A.J. must decide on which side he belongs; the past or the present.

The Mystery of the Keys!

A Note from your Editors:

Last week, here at St. Anthony's there was a rather strange happening overnight, where dozens of mysterious keys appeared suddenly. An expert locksmith (the Queen's Royal Keeper of the Keys) contacted the school asking for your help, and luckily you were able to write some letters and pieces of information that were very useful to him in his findings. Below are some of the exceptionally good pieces you did:

 Connie, St. Peter's

Riley, St. Peter's

 Elohor, St. George

 Ferdia, St. George

 Joseph, St. George

 Millie, St. George

Pharrell, St. George

 Daniel, St. Patrick
