Hello, everyone, hope you have a good weekend. Thank you for all the comments on the blog today. Anum, do not panic as Abbott Beyne are organising the transport for you for the visit on Monday. They will pick you up and drop you off, back at Victoria. Remind me to show you how to access comments on Monday when we do ICT.
Isra, glad the role play helped - it's a great way to understand how others feel. We certainly should do more drama activities. We'll try to fit them in. Hannah, glad to hear your recounts are getting even better. Keep using your skills.
I will be busy writing reports this weekend.

Runners up!
On Wednesday Mrs Bell waited impatiently for a text message (it was the day of the media challenge and she was at Coven). Unfortunately, no-one from the school office contacted her - Mrs Bell was disappointed. However, she rand Sharon Bywater at the Staffordshire Partnership to find out the results of the media challenge.
Sharon exclaimed, "You are next on my 'to do' list! The judges were impressed with the newspaper front page and story on the story board was good. The one thing some schools had done was add some direction to the video story board. But the good news is that you have come second although there is no prize for that".
She added we should be very proud of ourselves as it was our first time in the competition. Also if any of the other schools decide they can't go on July 9th, we will get their places. Like Anum, Mrs Bell has crossed her fingers.
Well done, everyone. Victoria is getting known for good things around the county. Today the Year 3 and 4 children came back with the CRICKET TROPHY! Mrs Turner, once again is delighted (so is Mrs Bell!).

Back to school
After a lovely week off (no homework!), we got back feeling relaxed and happy. Mrs Bell explained the need to continue with the curriculum as she wants everyone to go to High Schools with confidence and good skills. The guided reading was from a book called, 'Kensuke's Kingdom', a book all Y6 children will read this term.
In maths we went over the written multiplication method as many children have not used it correctly in the SATs! After all, assessments are to find out gaps in learning. In the afternoon, we discussed targets for personal and social developement. Role play helped children to understand how everyone has to take responsibility for bullying problems. Bullies also need help as they obviously have problems of their own.
The 'confidence' walk was interesting. Everyone looked so much taller! Tomorrow, we will have Mr Brown teaching us in the morning as Mrs Bell is out on a course.
