What are your New Year pledges? Is there anything you want to work on this year?
To welcome in the New Year, our next Extended Study challenge is to create New Years pledges, posters or kindness stones that we can display around school.
Next week, Crew Councillors will be completing these and presenting in Crew time as examples for you to use.
Keep an eye out for the blog for examples! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Year 6 will also start to receive additional homework in the run up to SATs which will be handed out to them weekly.
Next Thursday, 12th December, is Save the Children – Christmas Jumper Day.
Can you create a poster informing everyone of the date! You could even design your own Christmas jumper on your poster.
Ask your Crew leaders to stick these on the windows facing the playground to remind adults about the day!
To celebrate the end of Non-Fiction November.. Can you make a book review, poster or an informative bookmark about a Non-fiction book of your choice? You could even find a non-fiction book linking to Christmas?
You could even use some of your time to enjoy a non-fiction book with a friend or share one at home.
We would love to see some of your creations displayed in your classroom reading areas!
Any photographs of these being completed will go into a prize draw to win a selection box! – Good Luck!
