@HamGramEnglish We'd love to know more about your mystery novel and discussion - sounds brilliant! Good luck to your former pupil - it's lovely when you see them doing well. -S

For our pupils who have loved writing the Murder Mystery homework novel and participating in the Murder in Wandering Willow Woods group discussion, BGT finalist Vinnie McKee was one of the pupils involved in writing these when Mrs May taught him years ago. Good luck, Vinnie! 🍀

Round 1 words are out for our annual S2 Spelling Bee. 🐝 How many would you get right?
