This week we have been learning more suffixes in our spelling lesson. We are looking at the suffixes:- “ant” “ent” “or” “er”
This suffix means -someone who.
For example someone who bakes is a baker
Can you list an example of each suffix on the blog.

Choices For Life Glow Meet
We had a glow meet all about choices for life . It was about smoking , drugs and alchohol and why the are not good for you. There was a short film about a boy called Liam who was getting pressurised into smoking. He took one draw and chose not to smoke. There was 6,000 children watching choices for life live on glow meet. They had the boy who played Liam and the boy who played Michael on the show talking about why not to smoke and do drugs. Liam loved swimming so he chose not to smoke as it would ruin his chances to become a proffesional and have a good career.
Why not post a reason why smoking is bad for you?
WWII Artefacts
These are some WWII artefacts that Amy brought in – they belonged to her gran and great grampa. The class sat down and had a look at them. Some of the things include idenity cards, WWII logbook, photographs and naval documents. Amy told the class about them. The class thought that is was fascinating for Amy to bring them.
