As we get closer to the start of the new school year, it is time to start thinking about getting ready. You might have already bought new school shoes or perhaps a new pencil case, but it's also time to think about what else you can do to be ready.


Have a think about these questions:

What are you looking forward to this year?

Is there anything you are worried about? What could you do to feel less worried?

What do you hope to achieve this year? How will you achieve it?

What might you need to improve on this year? Have you got a target you would like to meet? Perhaps learning all of your times tables, getting full marks in every spelling test, joining a new club or learning to swim a length of the pool?

These are all great things to think about before coming back to school next week. Perhaps you could talk about these questions with an adult or older brother or sister. Could they help you to achieve your goals this year?

The Great Loom Band Debate!

Here it is... the podcast of our debate: 'Should Loom Bands be banned?'
Dan from Far Shoreline Productions came to interview us about Loom Bands and he put together this fantastic audio recording.

Click the picture below, or follow the link, to listen to the debate as a podcast. Can you hear yourself? What is your opinion- do you think Loom Bands should be banned?

When I was in Hong Kong this week I saw children there making Loom Band bracelets- it's a worldwide trend!

This is my favourite new game! You can play the 30 levels of this game from the Science Museum, or even create new levels of your own. It's lots of fun and quite tricky! Enjoy! The Science Museum is free to visit too- it's a great day out.
