Dear KS2 Parents,
Thank you for returning your Spelling Shed permission letters promptly, this will help us to be able to get our subscription with spelling shed moving and start our journey to becoming more confident spellers! If you are still yet to return your form, please do so as soon as possible- we don't want your child to miss out!
The Spelling Shed helps children to practise spelling via a simple game. The game gives four different degrees of support in the form of difficulty modes; Easy, Medium, Hard and Extreme. Higher levels allow a higher score to be achieved but children can practise as much as they like on lower levels before trying to gain high scores. The scores achieved give a league position and each class has its own league position within a school league and our world league. Spelling Shed also allows for homework and whole-class “Hive” games as a more interactive form of a spelling test.
Once your child has their login information (this will be sent home to you shortly) they can access the online game via https://play.spellingshed.com.
Thank you again for your continued support!
Miss Caldwell

Well done to our Year 6 debating team who represented our school at a debating competition held at Bluecoat Chambers. The children did us proud and presented some fantastic unbalanced arguments, even competing against each other at times! Well done to all of you! Their behaviour and attitudes were exemplary and they demonstrated excellent speaking and listening skills, speaking articulately and with great expression. An extra special congratulations to Tom who won debater of the day speaking for the proposition during the debate 'Space exploration is a waste of time and money.' 🏆👏👏
