Tower and Town, December 2015 (view the full edition)Editorial: Preshute PrimaryWe were delighted to be asked to contribute to the Christmas and New Year issue of Tower and Town. It has given our Year 6 children a wonderful opportunity to share some of their fabulous writing with a wider audience. Their writing has developed from the theme of endings and beginnings to suit the time of year and shows a depth of thought along with an impressive command of language. Since the start of term we have been studying the world of the Ancient Greeks and we have delved into some of the myths and characters from that time. This led the children to write their own creation myths, allowing their imaginations to explain how some of the most fascinating aspects of our natural world might have begun. Again, the emotions of the characters we uncovered inspired our wonderful pupils to pen their own poems. We hope that you will enjoy this celebration of our oldest pupils' writing and understand why we are justifiably proud of them As the year draws to a close may I take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
