Running with Ray!

By Rebecca Knowles15th June 2021

Y5/6 had the pleasure of meeting Ray today and learning about his inspirational story! Ray is almost 80 and has raised an incredible amount of money for a range of charities  through his love of running! In the past, Ray ran 75 marathons in 75 days and even ran 150 miles without stopping! Wow!

We are going to support Ray on his upcoming 80th birthday by taking part in his next challenge – for 80 schools to run 80 miles! We’re very excited to get involved in running a mile but might need to put a bit of training first!

What makes a good story?

By Rebecca Knowles11th June 2021

Today in Year 5, we have looked at different story extracts and picked out the different features of each. We looked at what makes a good story and what could make a story even better! This is leading to writing our own narrative next week which we are very excited about!
