Letter from the Queen!!!

The Year 6 children have been writing letters... to James Blunt, Chelsea FC, Danni Minogue, Top Gear, Doctor Who, Diversity... the list goes on and on. They have been waiting for replies, and slowly letters have trickled into school.

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!

He recieved a letter back, from her Lady-in-Waiting, which said the following...

Dear Bradley,
The Queen wishes me to write and thank you for your letter in which you tell her about your new school.
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.
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.
The Queen thanks you again for your letter and sends her good wishes to you and all your friends at Redbridge Primary School.

We are looking forward to more replies from some of the other people, and we hope that they will be just as exciting.

Sports Relief!

There were some interesting clothes worn to school today, to raise money for Sports Relief. I think that everyones favourite costumes were the 118 guys!

We were all amazed by the variety of sporting costumes... from footballers, swimmers, tennis players, racing drivers, ballet dancers, cheerleaders .... the list is endless.

The winners from the KS2 skipping competition all showed off their prowess... but we found it hard to believe that Mr Benson had done 170 skips in a minute... we think it was more like 17! We liked Mrs Clarke's special jumping style!

The winners from the KS1 hula-hooping competition all showed how quickly they could spin their hoops... and everyone was very impressed by the size of my hoop!

It is much easier with a bigger hoop though, as Lisa found out!

Everyone had lots of fun and, more importantly, raised lots of money for Sports Relief. Thanks!
