Friday 21st April

Good morning and welcome to our first blog for the summer term. We hope you had a fabulous spring break and didn't eat too many Easter eggs!

 

English - We have begun our new class novel for this half term. It is called Holes, by Louis Sachar (rhymes with cracker).

 

 

The children are already enjoying finding out about the main character Stanley Yelnats. Here is a synopsis of the book...

 

Stanley Yelnats, a boy who has bad luck due to a curse placed on his great- great-grandfather, is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp, for a crime he did not commit. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced to dig large holes in the dirt every day. Stanley eventually realizes that they are digging these holes because the Warden is searching for something. As Stanley continues to dig holes and meet the other boys at the camp, the narrator intertwines three separate stories to reveal why Stanley's family has a curse and what the Warden is looking for.

 

Our certificate winner this week is Jenson for some excellent contributions in his spoken answers and his exercise book this week. A BIG well done from all the class. smileysmileysmiley

 

That's all for this week from Year 6W. Have a fabulous weekend, fingers crossed for some more sunshine. We would like to wish Eid Mubarak to all our Muslim families.
