Pretty as a picture!

It really is difficult to tell Sasha's and Ocean's watercolours apart from the original painting.  The accuracy of their work and their incredible attention to detail are quite stunning.  What amazing pieces of work to keep and frame to display at home.  Fabulous talent, ladies!

Dear Diary

You only need to read the first few sentences of these children's Little Canada diaries to know how much Max, Laylah, Yasmine, Sophie and Millie enjoyed their week on the Isle of Wight.  They have included so much detail, they will be able to relive their memories for many years to come.  Great work, folks!

Welcome to Roydon!

We don't need to worry about passing on information to new Year 5 and 6 children starting at our school.  Natalie, Oliver, Ruby and Christian have prepared these fabulous leaflets to tell them everything they need to know about our school.  What a lot of details they have included!

Olympic swimming!

Lleyton has made it!  After months of practice and determination he has learned to swim and completed a whole length (25m).  Well done!

Taking responsibility for our learning

Isla and Mia really are taking responsibility for their learning.  They have chosen to take home extra comprehension exercise to practice showing their understanding of a wide variety of texts.  This is certainly helping them with their understanding of what they read.  Super news, girls!

Next stop Hollywood!

Erin, Phoebe, Thomas and Qing have worked really hard to make short films that show that they understand the impact of racism on people's feelings.  They have combined texts, images and music to make very moving pieces of work.  Well done chaps and chappesses!

Technical Wizard

Our first Special Achiever of the year!  Thank you for all your help during assemblies last week, Thomas.  You stepped in at the last minute, took your responsibility very seriously, and your help was invaluable.  Well done!

Not so revolting after all!

Ethan really enjoyed writing and published his revolting rhyme.  It is rather gruesome with the wolf losing his head, but there are some very clever rhymes in there.  What a great bedtime story for you to keep, Ethan!  Great work!

Unaccustomed as I am ...!

What an eloquent young man we have here!  Miss Stannard was exceedingly impressed by the standard of Joseph's presentation about squash (the sport, not the drink!).  He put a lot of time and thought into the planning and preparation, and then delivered his talk using prompt cards.  You showed a great level of confidence, Joseph, well done!

A read a day ...

This really is the most perfect example of teamwork!  At the beginning of the year, Caitlin asked for some extra help with her reading and was paired up with Emily.  Whatever has been going on in school they have made it their priority to read EVERY SINGLE DAY, and Caitlin's reading has come on in leaps and bounds.  Well done, girls, for taking this so seriously!

Double Achiever

Not just one amazing achievement, but two from Henry this week!  He has put so much time, especially at home, into improving his handwriting that his book is a perfect example of what can be achieved.  In maths he has consistently challenged himself this week to try harder and harder calculations.  Excellent effort, Henry!

Perfect Projects!

What fabulous projects Alfie and Megan wrote about the Isle of Wight and Jacob, Olivia and Jenson wrote about France!  They included an enormous amount of detailed information and these pieces of work clearly showed the huge amount of work that had been done.  Super!

Little Canada Memories

Miss Stannard is very impressed by the way Josh, Josh, Alfie, Guy and Alex wrote up their Little Canada diaries.  They chose really interesting vocabulary to produce detailed descriptions of the events and activities, and they met all the success criteria.  Now we need to teach Josh what a shower is for!!
