Letters of Cheer - Thank you
Letters of Cheer - Thank you
Before Christmas, our Active Citizens across CCJ set out to help members of the local community and those who may be feeling lonely at Christmas by writing letters to adults that have been isolated or alone during the lock down as a result of COVID-19! Parents and staff collected names of people who would benefit from a 'letter of cheer' and the children were extremely busy writing over 50 letters to people both locally and nationally. We have been delighted with the response and have received phone calls, emails cards and letters in response to the children's efforts. Well done to our Active Citizens for spreading some cheer. We hope we can continue our communication during this time.

BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
Thunderstruck by Ali Sparkes
Surviving a lightning strike makes Theo and Alisha see life differently. It also makes them notice Doug and Lizzie. Struck by lightning under that same tree on the common in 1975, the two teenagers have been hanging out there ever since. Doug and Lizzie are funny, clever, brave - and quite happy about making friends with a pair of ten-year-olds. OK, fair point, they are dead, and Doug's trousers are worryingly flared. But you can't have everything. However, something sinister is going on at school - although only Theo and Alisha seem to be able to see it. What can it mean when ragged faceless entities keep staring in through the windows? Not all ghosts are friendly like Doug and Lizzie . . . but are these phantoms really the harbingers of doom for all the kids at Beechwood Junior?
Remember to fill in a book review once you have read a book so that your teacher can stamp your bookmark!
You can find your child's Battle of the Books suggested book list on our school website via the following link:

Here you will find most books listed, however we are continually updating and showcasing our recommended reads as new books are released.
