World Book Day InterviewsThis week in the build up to world book day, the children interviewed some of the teachers about their favourite books. This is what they had to say...
Mrs O’Neills Favourite Book I interviewed Mrs O’Neill today and her favourite book was Harry potter and the half blood prince. She likes it because the children had become teenagers, it’s funny and they start to fall in love. By Charlotte Mrs Barfords Favourite Book Today I interviewed Mrs Barford about her favourite book. She told me it is Harry potter books. She started reading them when she was younger and when they came out. She loves the characters and the magic. Her favourite character is Hermione the girl Wizard. We are really looking forward to world book day. By Harry Miss Hughes' Favourite Book Today l interviewed Miss Hughes about her favourite book and why it`s her favourite book. She told me her favourite book is Charlie and the chocolate factory. She likes it because she also likes chocolate very much, especially Cadbury! Her favourite part is when Verucca falls down the rubbish shoot. She loves the end when Charlie gets given the factory because he deserves it. By Lilia Mrs Backhouses Favourite Book Miss Backhouse likes tiger who came to tea when she was four she went to the library so her mum read to her the tiger who came to tea. It gives a happy feeling because her mum read it to her it was very popular book! It’s very exciting because when she was four she wanted a tiger to come to tea. There whole family like it to. By Oscar Online Safety WeekA couple of weeks ago we took part in online safety week. The whole school has lessons about how to keep safe online, what to do to protect yourself and what not to do. We learned about keeping our details safe such as our passwords, address, school, phone number, real name, age and much more. We were reminded that we should never share this information with anyone else because it would cause us harm. People may pretend to be us or try to trick us into believing they are someone they are not. They might find where we live or come to our school which could cause danger for ourselves and those around us.
You often see in the news when people pretend to be people they are not, it is believed online and then when they meet the lies come out. This just shows how dangerous it is to meet with people you have met online….so don’t do it! Finally as children remember you shouldn’t be using any devices unless you have an adults permission, that includes; phones, tablets, computers, laptops, Xbox/PlayStations. Think….Stay Safe Online! By Oscar and Harry Terriffic Totternhoe by Harry and OscarOn Thursday the 27th of September we went to Cedars to play a football tournament. Our reward was coming 4th place. Oscar and Harry both scored 1 goal. We won 1 match that was 2-0 and we lost 3 matches. In the 2-0 victory Oscar scored a penalty. Harry scored in an open goal. The referees didn’t tell us that one of their goals was a free-kick not a penalty, so we stood behind the ball so they won 3-0. It was a great day and we think we worked well as a team.

Gymnastics CompetitionOn Tuesday the 5th February we went to the gymnastic competition at Harlequins where we had to perform a gymnastics routine. We had to do everything from a volt to going on the bars, moving across an air track in different ways, forward rolls and using a trampoline. Mrs Beary and Mrs Backhouse were kind and made sure we had a drink during the competition and cheered us on. We all really enjoyed it. After the competition we ate our snacks on the way back to school in the minibus. We had so much fun, one of the children said “My favourite was the bars”. We are hoping to take part in another competition very soon!
By Charlotte On Tuesday the 5 th of February a few of the Year 1’s, 2’s, 3’s and 4’s travelled to the gymnastics competition where we had to perform gymnastics routines in front of a very kind Judge at Harlequins Gym. We had to go on a volt in front of everyone and also the bars, air track, trampolines and perform forward rolls. We all worked really hard to remember out routines and did our best. All of the activities were in different areas around the gym. My personal favorite was the bars because we got to do flips and hold in a pike and straddle shape. I am really looking forward to the next competition and hope I get the chance to take part again. By Jessica Joke of the Week

The Fantastic Faith Tour by Charlotte and Lilia. Interviews by Jessica
On Wednesday 3rd October, Year 3 and 4 went to Bedford to visit a Gurdwara, a Church and a Mosque. When we got to the Mosque, we took off our shoes at the entrance and put them into boxes. A man led us into a room which had a blue carpet. The carpet was designed to look like lots and lots of prayer mats and they all faced East because that’s where Mecca is. We learnt about the different prayer positions, the call to prayer and lots of the rules they had to follow.
Next, we visited a Christian church, just down the road from the mosque. When we got inside a man introduced himself. We learnt about the baptismal font and what special rules Jesus taught. We searched around the church to find Christian objects and special things about the church. We found the cross and the crucifix. The stained glass windows showed lots of different saints and special people.
Finally, we visited the Gurdwara which was like a palace. We washed our hands and had our lunch, which had to be vegetarian food. We were told about the ten Gurus and why Sikhs were called Sikhs. This is because Guru means ‘teacher’ and Sikh means ‘learner’.
Lots of children thought it was ‘good fun’, ‘exciting’ and ‘very intriguing’. Everybody who we asked thought the Gurdwara was the best bit.
