On Friday our school took part in a city wide ‘Drop Everything And Read ‘ event where everybody across school stopped what they were doing and read! 

This brought an end to a great week with children all doing something they enjoy for a good cause .Thank you once again for all your support .

The children in Year 6 used Roald Dahl’s novel ‘Boy’ to inspire and guide them  to write an interesting autobiographical account about one event in Colomendy. They tried to include adjectives and adverbs to make their writing as detailed as possible.
