A message from Alan Peat

Lucy took up Class 3's online writing challenge and wrote a really imaginative and superbly constructed newspaper report.

Mrs Preece-Dawson tweeted her piece of writing and the international teacher trainer and author of many books on improving children's writing replied!

Read Lucy's newspaper report on Class 3's wiki, here.

Recycler the Robot!

Sheriffhales had a fantastic visit today from 'Recycler the Robot' and learnt all about 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle'!

Our materials walk.

Class 2 had an almost-dry walk around Sheriffhales today.

We looked at the housing and the materials that were being used in them.

We found lots of different materials but surprisingly very little plastic!

We hope you like our photos!

Class 3 authors were "tweeted" by Cressida Cowell!

Amelia J and Lucy have been writing a story based on Cressida Cowell's "How to train your dragon"books. They were thrilled to receive a message from the famous author via Twitter this week!

Sheriffhales' Published Authors!

We all had an amazing day yesterday when Beth Evans and Adam Ormrod from the Lend Me Your Literacy team came into school to work with our children.

Every pupil's work is now posted online, and we are hoping for lots of comments from around the world about their marvellous writing!
