Class 6 have been writing and following instructions

Class 6 have been playing games in the English lessons.

Children in Class 6 have been learning all about instructions and how important it is to follow them in chronological order.

The children were asked to design their own board games, write out a set of instructions and then try out their games with a friend.

It was fun making up your own characters for a game – Corran

The children had great fun explaining their rules and then trying out their games. Children could be heard giving out instructions, counting and explaining what happens if you land on a certain picture.

I really liked playing Tess L game ‘Candy Land’ as she thought of some good obstacles to stop you winning’ – Finn

I loved playing the games, especially rolling the dice and getting to move on two spaces – Tess

Penpol School Spelling Bee 2016

Spelling Bee Champion 2016
Josie from Class 12

On Wednesday 2nd of November the culmination of the Penpol School Spelling Bee took place, with 16 supreme spellers from across Year 5 and 6 making up the competitors after defeating the rest of their class in a sub-competition in their respective classrooms.

After a lengthy battle covering over 600 spellings, which included such tricky words as fluorescent, questionnaire and embarrassment, Josie, from class 12 was the outright winner, narrowly defeating William (also from class 12).

The children in Year 5, though at a disadvantage this year, being a year younger, will be given the same list of words next year and we look forward to another highly-entertaining and closely-fought spelling battle.
