Friday 27th May


It has been assessment week this week; well done everybody for trying their hardest, the independent stories that you have produced are looking fabulous.

On Thursday we had visitors in from the Becker Art Society. We had a lovely time using charcoal to sketch in the style of Becker. We also took the opportunity to sketch the Tope that Mrs Bowles found on the beach. We then took the sketch books that they gave us to Vicarage Grove on Friday afternoon to sketch the bluebells which made a lovely end to this half term.

Home learning for half term is to produce a film review. This can be either an old favourite or a more recent film. The film must be either a U or PG certificate.
 

Golden Book

My golden book entry this week was for everybody who went to Hilltop. For being brave, tidy (yes the boys were tidy too so no excuses at home! ) and for being beautifully well behaved. They were all a pleasure to go adventuring with.
