Friday 2nd March, 2018 Ditch World those Book Stabilisers Day Headteacher Christina Jackson, BA Hons Yesterday, we celebrated World Book Day and promoted a love of Literacy. We were delighted with the fabulous support from parents in sending their children to school as a character from a book. We also launched the prestigious Writer of the Year competition for KS2. The children had an inspiring day participating in a range of literacy based activities including designing a new character for their favourite story. The best entries will be awarded points for their house team. We finished our day by awarding prizes for the most creative costumes and with a special story titled The Day the Books Fell written and read by a team of talented Year 6 writers (Dillon, Connie, Grace and Ellie).

LFC Foundation World Book Day Event On Tuesday, some of our Year 5 and 6 pupils attended a World Book Day event at Anfield Stadium. The event was hosted by the LFC Foundation in the Kenny Daglish Stand. The workshop was delivered by the authors of the Football Stories Series, Ben Littleton and Alex Bellos. During the workshop the children found out about the importance of nutrition for footballers and the qualities needed in different positions on the pitch. They also looked at the geography of Brazil and considered why the country produces so many talented, skilful footballers. The pupils attended represented Kew Woods superbly, interacting with all of the activities. See Twitter for additional photographs and video clips of the event.
Pay a Compliment and Smile Day We finished off a busy week with our Pay a Compliment and Smile Day. Our KS2 Anti-Bullying Ambassadors came up with the idea and suggested the activities for the day. They introduced the activities in their own classes and were supported with a powerpoint written by our Year 6 ambassadors. A range of fun activities took place during the day including making a paper smile and putting it on a stick! This activity made everyone smile! Thank you to our ever supportive parents who donated cakes for the day for the children to enjoy together.
Sport @ Kew Football Last week our A Football team attended a Premier League Sports Tournament Hosted by LFC.

The children then participated in group activities which they engaged with fully and enjoyed. Following the workshops, the team participated in some matches, winning three and losing three. Well done to everyone who represented the school so well.
