Jedi Writing Challenge — We Won Signed Star Wars Books!

Back at the start of May, when all of Year Six were working remotely, we challenged the pupils to write about a 'favourite hero (or villain) in the Star Wars saga'. This was with the hope of entering a competition posted by two Star Wars authors. 

A short time later, we were surprised to hear a number of our pupils had won a pair of signed books. Today, they arrived, all the way from the USA!

Thank you to Kevin and Michael for sending the signed books: Michael Kogge and Kevin Shinick.

Chalk Illusion Photos

On the news, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw illusion pictures created by children and adults at home. We had a go at creating our own:

Angelic

Day at the Beach

Feeding a Friend

Big Mac

Thank You NHS

Lost in Space

Ender Dragon Riding

We had great fun making these and we hope you enjoyed looking at them.
