  • Perfect Performance Poetry Competition

    Fri 31 Jan 2014
    Today we ended our Reading Week with house teams performing poems they had learnt in a morning session this week. 

    Mrs Wilkinson and Mr Bowes took their seats as the judges, finding inspiration from Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne!

    Green kicked off the show with a group performance of The Dragon Who Ate Our School. Mrs Wilkinson was very impressed with their choric voice and actions. 

    Blue followed with MATILDA (the girl who told lies and burned to death). Mr Bowes commented on their confidence without the words. 

    Red performed Grandma Rap, complete with four Grandma's wearing curlers and big knits.  Mrs Wilkinson was impressed with the groupings and the clear rap. 

    Finally, Yellow took to the stage complete with musical instruments and a burglar! He wandered around during the performance stealing all the sounds and stashing them in his swag bag. 

    It it was an close call but for learning the poem off by heart...Blue house was awarded first place. 


    We have had a fun filled reading week, jam packed with activities, Shakespeare, Shadow Stealers and an adventure around Seven Stories.  We do love reading in St Francis and please visit the gallery to see what we have been doing. 
     
  • Shadow Stealers in St Francis!

    Thu 30 Jan 2014

    This Thursday started like no other Thursday...On the playground was a man wearing a red St Francis badge. After saying good morning to us we found out that he was a real life book author called Daniel Ingram-Brown.  

    Each class had an hour with him learning the tricks of the trade and we found out he also has a theatre company and writes plays.  All the children were excited by the props he brought in - an executioner's hood, severed head, cloak and top hat.  Children also acted out the first chapter of the book.

    Now we are all eagerly reading the novel to find out what happens to Scoop and to see if Knot is really a thug.
