Clockhouse Young Writers to get work published!

The Clockhouse Presentation Club have been working hard with Mrs Curry!

The club members individually submitted a poem they composed themselves based on Minecraft.  They spent a time planning and then editing before writing their final drafts.  We then sent them off and kept our fingers crossed.  Apparently over 20,000 entries were received and out of these entries 5 members of our club got chosen to have their work published! 

Well done team, a fantastic achievement and we are so proud of you all! 

A message from us all

Thank you all for another great term at Clockhouse!

Happy Easter everyone from all at Clockhouse Primary School.

We look forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday 16th April.

Well done Year 5

A huge well done to all of Year 5 who truly put on a show to remember both this afternoon and this evening. A particular well done to the 40 children who made the effort to come back this evening - what a performance!

You were all fantastic and all played a huge part in making such a success of this years production. 

Well done everyone and thank you to all those who came and watched.
