Fly Over

Today is the day Miss Bowden retires after 44 years in education. Who is Miss Bowden you ask? She was the principal at Royal Oak Primary School for 10 years. To celebrate her retirement she was taken by helicopter to visit her previous schools. When we received a phone message we hurriedly made our way outside and formed the word BYE on the back courts. Everyone waved and those teachers who remember her felt quite emotional knowing what a great contribution she has made to the lives of so many children.

Competition winner from Room 22

A fabulous person in our class entered a competition to win tickets to Walking with Dinosaurs this week.
She needed to write a piece (100 words or less) about what the best dinosaur was and why.
Enjoy reading her fabulous piece!!! She won 5 tickets and attended the show this weekend. Well done!

Why I would like to be a Pterodactyl

Face it, the pterodactyl is the best living dinosaur there EVER was. Pterodactyls are the only flying creatures in their time, and they could fly wherever they liked anyplace, anytime. Imagine anger welling up inside a furious T-rex as a pterodactyl swoops out of his jaws with ease. Or what about a swamp? Research shows that no dinosaurs were ever able to swim. Ha! Water is no match to the mighty pterodactyl. Why, they could fly straight over it. So, for me, a gliding, agile, fearless pterodactyl sounds like a lot more fun than a huge, hulking land dinosaur.
