Black Lives Matter-    Writing Competition

https://500words.me/

Virgin radio are leading a Black lives matter-writing competition . This was opened on Monday 29th June and closes on Friday!

500 Words is the world’s largest story-writing competition for kids. Over a million stories have been submitted since 2011, in response to everything from technology to climate change. Now, we want to bring children’s voices onto the themes and issues emerging from the Black Lives Matter movement. We want children to lead on the process of writing their story.

From 6:30am on Monday 29th June until Friday 3rd July at 11.59pm 2020, we invite children aged between 5 and 13 to respond in whatever way they wish in no more than 500 words, in the form of a story.

The narratives we write and share matter. We ask children to draw on their own experiences and feelings to create a story that can be as imaginative and visionary as they want. Storytelling is a must!

For that reason, we’ve brought together many high-profile personalities, school teachers and librarians alongside the continuing support and academic expertise of Oxford University Press to create 500 Words: Black Lives Matter.

Just tune into Virgin Radio Breakfast Show from today to keep up with the competition.

More information and updates to come in the proceeding weeks...

Welcome to Maple class with Ms Campbell and Ms Corcoron! 

This half-term is all about SPACE looking at

     EARTH AND BEYOND!

So far the children have had a fantastic trip to science Museum where they were able to explore historic facts about APOLLO 11!

                                              https://youtu.be/42S5SRN3eMk

                          WATCH THIS GREAT VIDEO ABOVE ON TIM PEAKES.

During this week the children will learn about the importance of savings for the future and budgeting. They will get a chance to discuss and consider how and what we spend money on once we earn it, whether it be on essentials or desirable products. 

They will also have a chance to look in possible careers that they can work towards for the future and what it takes to manage the costs of living for them and their potential families when they grow up!

Please talk to your children about what they have learnt this week!

                Humans and Other Animals!

In science the children have been looking at diet and health. They have been encouraged to think about making sure they eat well and include their 5 a-day in what they consume. They have been ;looking at the food pyramids.

Here is an example below.
