The Speaker Competition is back!
As many of you are probably aware, next week, the children will be taking part in Oracy Week. During the week we will have the opportunity to take part in workshops to develop our oracy skills. As part of the week the children will also have the opportunity to take part in the Speaker Competition.
As part of the Speaker Competition, the children will need to write a speech. We will be teaching them how to write their speech during our English Lessons, but it would be a good idea to think about your subject.
This year's theme is 'You wouldn't believe it but...'.

Today we concluded our tomato mummification experiment.
Throughout the term, the children observed the changes to a tomato following different preservation methods.
Team Cialis found that the Ancient Egyptian method of drying, oiling, and salting is the best method for mummification.
Please see below for more information.....
Today is Safer Internet Day!
The children made video guides to explain how to safe on Internet apps.
The children also designed a superhero listener to explain what skills are needed for listening to a friend.
Ask your child what skills are needed for listening.
Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology to help to create a better Internet for everyone.
We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home! To help you with this, there are some free activities and information for parents and carers which are available at: saferinternet.org.uk/SID-parents. there are top tips, quizzes and films which you can use at home with your child.
Please remember to read with your child at home!
Most of you are doing an amazing job reading. This week Team Cialis celebrated one child reaching 200 reads and another reaching 100 reads.
Remember that when you reach 100 reads you will receive a book voucher to spend on new books for your child.
On Wednesday, Team Cialis had an amazing day celebrating their Ancient Egyptian Topic.
It was great to see so many amazing costumes! A lot of praise must go to parents for helping their children with their costumes.
The children learnt about Ancient Egyptian Numerals, which are similar to Roman Numerals.
It was also great to see so many parents at our afternoon celebration where we created our own wall painting in hieroglyphs to tell our own class history. We hope you enjoyed the day and that you managed to learn as much as the children have learnt this term!
During week commencing 27th February we are running a special oracy week across the school.
All classes will be exploring the joys of speaking and listening and children will have the chance to take part in special workshops and events. Keep an eye on our blogs to see what we get up to!
On Tuesday 28th, we are inviting parents along for a workshop all about oracy. This will be a great chance to hear about all we do to promote excellent talk at RAPS and to get some ideas to promote talk at home with your child. See the poster for more information about the event. The workshop is first come first served so contact the office ASAP to book your place.
