They have been waiting for replies, and slowly letters have trickled into school.<br /><br />The most exciting of which has been a letter from... the Queen! Bradley had written to the Queen, to inform her about our new school, and to let her know about the important features of the school...." we have underfloor heating in every classroom"! I'm sure that impressed her, because she probably hasn't got it at the palace!<br /><br />He recieved a letter back, from her Lady-in-Waiting, which said the following...<br /><br />Dear Bradley,<br /> The Queen wishes me to write and thank you for your letter in which you tell her about your new school.<br /> The Queen was pleased to know that you are so proud of your school, and thought it was kind of you to invite her to visit you there. Although Her Majesty is unable to accept, The Queen greatly appreciated your thoughtfulness.<br /> As I feel sure you will understand, Her Majesty does not have time to reply personally to all the hundreds of people who write to her each day, but she was very glad to hear from you and to know that you are so happy at your school.<br /> The Queen thanks you again for your letter and sends her good wishes to you and all your friends at Redbridge Primary School.<br /><br />We are looking forward to more replies from some of the other people, and we hope that they will be just as exciting.<br />Miss ProctorRedbridge Primaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08686748509843630863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918535566577681229.post-29271346664775506652010-03-19T18:08:00.008+00:002010-03-19T18:33:35.057+00:00Sports Relief!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8JB8xpSTERo/S6PB8c6VDJI/AAAAAAAAA00/WgCg84bi9iM/s1600-h/IMG_1147.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8JB8xpSTERo/S6PB8c6VDJI/AAAAAAAAA00/WgCg84bi9iM/s320/IMG_1147.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450413218345585810" border="0" /></a>There were some interesting clothes worn to school today, to raise money for Sports Relief.

Children want to do away with boring traditional tables and bring in exciting new personalised workstations. Features should include individual laptops, retractable privacy-screens to eliminate distractions, storage space for personal belongings and equipment, water bottle carriers and much more. The class has created a fabulous product which should impress those dragons. With the right advertising campaign it will surely find a market.

The theme is ...'The school of the future!' which links to the building of our new school. All the classes are focusing on a different idea...chairs, desks, school bags,musical instruments, toilets... and even the teacher of the future!<br /><br />We are starting off designing, and making models, and moving on to making adverts, posters, and presenting the best ideas in assembly to the 'Dragon's Den'.<br /><br />Examples of work, adverts and presentations will follow shortly. Today was pretty messy in most of the classrooms, and although we were all enjoying ourselves, I don't know whether our cleaners Della, Nikki and Nickki had quite as much fun!<br /><br />Miss ProctorRedbridge Primaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08686748509843630863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918535566577681229.post-62864996104928923392009-06-24T19:28:00.009+01:002009-06-28T14:04:44.304+01:00WOW!
