2. Year One’s visit from a Police Carrier.
We had a special visit from Eve and PC Martin before
the holiday. They brought a real police carrier for Year
One to see. The carrier was yellow and it had blue
flashing lights on top. It had lots of seats in the back.
At the front there was a camera so if cars were far away
they can see the license plate.
They brought shields that protect themselves when they
are doing their jobs. If anyone is naughty they have
special handcuffs. If they move their hands they get
tighter and tighter.
We saw a big cage in the back of the carrier and got
locked inside. It was great fun! Thank you Eve and PC
Martin.

Year One’s Visit to the Fire Station
We walked all the way into town to visit the fire station.
We met a fireman called Barry who showed us around the
station. He showed us a fire engine. On the wall we saw
an axe.
We went into a dark room and used a special camera to
see what was cold and what was warm.
Before we left everyone had a turn at spraying the hose!
We had a good time at the fire station.

5. Giant Walking Bus
At 10am on Wednesday 15th June 2011 more than 100,000 kids will march for road safety from their school gates in the
annual Giant Walking Bus! This brilliant event is part of Brakes’ ‘Kids Say Slow Down’ campaign and raises awareness of
the dangers of traffic especially around Schools. Every year Brake tries to beat their own world record for the biggest
walking bus and this year Norwood are taking part too!
This giant march for a giant reason: to say no to speeding drivers, and yes to walking! The UK has one of the worst
death rates in Europe of children killed on foot, most on their way to or from school. Half of the children in the U.K are
driven to school, increasing pollution and danger.
So on Wednesday 15th June 2011 please ensure that your child has a waterproof coat with them as at 10 a.m we will all
be taking part in the Giant Walking Bus to help raise awareness of the importance of road safety.
If any parents are interested in taking part in this event and are free to help from 9:45 a.m on Wednesday 15th June
2011, please contact the office as soon as possible. Your help will be much appreciated!
Arts Festival T-Shirts
Our first delivery of T-Shirts has been
delivered and they look fantastic!
Hope you remembered to order yours.
(You may just be able to get a last
Open to all ages from 7-99 years minute order in if you are very quick!)
ATTENDANCE UPDATE
Going into our final half term of the year,
we have 41 children on target to achieve
the special 100% attendance badge. This
is really exciting for them all, but
remember at the end of the term, there
will still be certificates for those children
who have achieved over 95% attendance
since Easter.
There's so much to look forward to this
half term!

6. Year 5 have been writing poems in the style
of Christina Rosettie's, ‘What is pink?’
What is pink?
1. What is pink? A pig is pink.
Having a sweet afternoon drink.
2. What is red? Jam is red.
As I spread it along my bread!
3. What is white? The snow is
white.
When I see it it's such a delight.
4. What is blue? The sky is blue.
With the clouds floating through
5. What is yellow? The sun is
yellow.
Bearing down on every fellow!
6. What is green? The grass is
green.
Standing next to the flowing
stream.
7. What is gold? Treasure is gold.
Who-ever has it is brave and
bold.
By Lauren Morgan and Libby Spencer

Shinewaves Competition Time
Last week’s competition was a design a monster competition. There were
some great entries, but the winner has to be a blue, 60cm high, papier

competition has an environmental theme. World Environment Day was on
5th June and the theme this year was ‘Forests: Nature At Your Service’. So
this week’s competition is to make a tree from recycled materials. Find
more about World Environment Day at www.unep.org/wed
