Mystery Week 6/2/2012 - 10/2/2012

CONGRATULATIONS TO MILLIE GATES IN YEAR 5, WINNER OF THE MYSTERY WEEK POSTER COMPETITION

We had over 50 enties to the competition and it was really difficult to pick the short list. Eventually six finalists were chosen across the year groups and the children voted for their favourite poster. A miniature copy will be sent home to everyone with details of Mystery Week events.
Every child entering the competetion earned their house five housepoints and the finalists earned ten. Millie has won £10 to spend in the book shop visiting next week.


Events During Mystery Week 6/2/2012 - 10/2/2012

Author Visits
Paul Cookson will be returning again and will be in school on Thursday 9th February. Paul’s books will be on sale in the bookshop on Wednesday should you wish to buy one and have it signed. We will also be welcoming a new face to St Francis, the storyteller and author Chris Connaughton. Chris will open Mystery Week on Monday 6th.

Book Sale
We will be holding a book sale on two evenings after school. Children will be given the opportunity to browse the books beforehand during the school day. Books start at £2.99.

Dance and Drama
We will be working with staff from The Point and Thornden School on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Charity Book Sale
Some of the children have suggested we hold a charity book sale. We will be asking children to bring in, with parents’ permission, a maximum of two books in good condition and age appropriate which will be sold in school for 20p a book. Books can be bought into school from Monday 6th and the sale will be held on Friday.

Dressing Up Day
Friday 10th will be dressing up day and we are asking children to come dressed as book characters. Their friend will have to guess who they are.

Competitions
There will be a number of competitions running during the week with a chance to win a Where’s Wally book.

We are anticipating a fun week with lots of activities for the children to enjoy.
