Welcome back to Walderslade's Weekly Writing Champion's Blog, where we tell you all about what's been happening in Walderslade Primary School this week, so let's get the gossip...


This week we have a surprise for you! An exclusive interview with our school's Deputy Head Teacher Mrs Rowley Jones, the unofficial blog editor, also known as our amazing grammar corrector (although we haven't been getting many corrections as

we have been using this brilliant app called grammarly, a perfection website)! Here it is:
Question 1: What are the best things about being Deputy Head of Walderslade Primary School?
Answer: The good things are that I get to see the Walderslade Primary School children everyday and help them with lots of different things! I have been able to help lots since I joined the school and I am very proud of all the children and teachers too.


Question 2: What do you like best about our school?
Answer: The best thing about the school is that it is small, that it really feels like a little family. We all look out for each other and learn together!


Question 3: What do you like best about teaching year one in the afternoons?
Answer: Willow class are so much fun and teaching them always makes me smile! They are so eager to learn and always ask me questions that I don't see coming!


Question 4: And finally, are you going to be sad when Oak class leave this year, as you actually used to teach them as year four pupils, which included the survival sleepover, which is where you made Poppy put her newly washed hair into 'fish guts' then forgetting to put the prize in after all that, apparently the longest minute of her life!!? (Her words, not mine)!
Answer: I will be sad to see Oak Class leave, as I am every year six when they leave, but this year group will be extra sad. Oak class were the first class I taught when I joined Walderslade and we had a lot of fun together, including the sleepover that you talked about in the question! I think that you always remember the children you teach, and I will certainly remember our current oak class!


On 31st January year four had a fun-filled China day where they tasted all sorts of food, to go with the theme of Chinese new year and linking onto that theme I would just like to mention the thunk of the week for this week which is: What would you use to warn off evil spirits? Which is a good question which you should answer in the comments section, and we would like to remind you about the #comment competition ~ please keep them coming because we haven't a clue what to write about and for these blogs to continue, we are in need of your help. For more information check: 2017 is here blog for the details. During their day they indulged into a lovely, traditional Chinese dinner, duck pancakes and rice topped with soy sauce, as a starter, if that's not living the dream, what is? Although their early lunch interrupted the dining hall, as there wasn't enough tables for Willow class, however they were enjoying themselves so much I don't think they noticed!


Maple class did a 'fantastically great' experiment earlier on in the week and although Poppy will talk about this in more detail, I couldn't help but mention that I want to pop down to Maple.so for the afternoon, they've been wrapping themselves up like mummies this term to go with their 'Egyptian' theme, which is quite scary, but with what I can hear from it, it sounds absolutely fantastic, I wish we could have done this when we were in Maple Class! Over to Poppy!:
