Mrs Nelson
Teaching Assistant

It is always an exciting time for the children when they gain their pen licence, enabling them to make the move from writing in pencil to pen. For this rite of passage, the children have to show that they can write neatly and consistently in cursive, joined handwriting in all of their work, not just handwriting tasks.

The following children have shown pride in their presentation of all of their learning tasks and have been awarded a Pen Licence and their first handwriting pen.

Oliver, Max and Beau

Well done!

Oliver in 3SS has read 100,000 words.

Well done.

It was close at the start between our finalists, Henry 5F and Sam O 6W. However, Henry's army was suddenly depleted and he had to surrender to this term's champion Sam O.

Well done Sam.
