The last few weeks!!!!

A few weeks ago on friday we had the hall set up for the entire school to enter and buy our produce at the year 5 and 6 Asian market. After an entire afternoon of rapid fire selling each stall had made alot of money on their own and combined we had made over two hundred pounds in a last ditch attempt to make some more money a couple of people at the comicbook stall went onto the playground and sold a few more copies to passing parents picking

up their children.

Last week everyone in the top literacy set finally finished the year 6 section of their reading transition booklet. As a reward our teacher allowed us to start focusing on the story of Beowulf and Grendel, a very gory story that originated over two thousand years ago. To start with we read the first two chapters and drew a picture of the Grendel based on the evidence of his appearance in the re-written version, we then found a way of representing the second chapter using any media we wanted. Many people chose to present the hall of Heorot after the Grendel's masacre, generally in the style of Jackson Pollock.

A couple of weeks ago we had sports day which, for a second year running, Grovsenor house won. In the year races, the year six winners were both ffrom Shaftsbury house. Once all the races were over, everyone returned to the school and many were signed out to have a picnic on the rec.

This week has been none stop concentration on our Joseph performance and it is almost entirely ready to be performed to the parents of the children in years 5 and 6.
