Well done to all who were able to use ‘perilous’ correctly during the past week. Especially if it was in your writing!
This week we have chosen ‘inconspicuous’!
Pronounced in – con – spic -uous
The Oxford dictionary says inconspicuous is an adjective that means not clearly visible or not attracting attention.
For example, ‘an inconspicuous red-brick building’
Leave a comment below with an example sentence, try to use the word in conversation OR, best of all, use it correctly in your writing!

Yesterday, Americans celebrated Martin Luther King Day. It is a day where people honour the memory of a man that inspired so many people to treat each other fairly. King inspired many to stand together to make their dream of peace, unity, justice and equality to become a reality.
Here is the video we watched in the KS2 assembly today about his famous ‘I have a dream’ speech. What message from the speech means the most to you? Do you have a favourite line?
In our celebration assembly this Friday we announced our first Lawford Mead ‘Word of the Week’! We will decide on a interesting word every Friday and challenge ourselves to use it in sentences between assemblies.
This week we have chosen ‘perilous‘!
The Oxford dictionary says perilous is an adjective that means ‘Full of danger or risk‘.
Our gymnastics clubs are very popular and in assembly today we watched a brilliant video of a truly talented gymnast, Katelyn Ohashi.
I think this video can inspire us in 3 ways…
Who and what inspires you? How will you inspire others?

We were very excited to welcome the children back this week. 2019 and the Spring term ahead are going to be jam packed with unforgettable experiences, learning and fun.
We look forward to seeing families at our MAGs mornings in March and FUDG mornings in June. Keep an eye on the weekly newsletter for more information about those and other upcoming events.
As one of our school values is aspiration, we are always setting ourselves ambitious targets and trying our very best to achieve our goals. But a new year is a particularly good time to set your heart and mind on something new or better. Have you got any new year’s resolutions you can share in a comment below this post?
Mr Poyton
All of us at Lawford Mead wish our families and friends in the community a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2019.
We are looking forward to a an exciting Spring term ahead, full of learning and achievement. BUT, pupils and staff have been working very hard and deserve a rest until then!
See you all on January 7th!

For the 2nd year in a row we have entered Key Stage 2 children’s poems into the Premier League Primary Stars Poetry Competition.
This year’s theme was Diversity and below is one of our favorite Lawford Mead poems, by Faith in Year 4. Faith read lots of different poems to get inspiration and read the poem with beautiful expression in our final assembly of the year. Fingers crossed that some of our own poems will be published in the Primary Stars book next year! What does Faith’s poem get you thinking about?
Diversity
By Faith (year 4)
Everyone is born
In a different way.
It doesn’t matter
How we look or what we say.
From different countries
Around the world.
It’s full of different genders!
Boys and girls.
We sure are glad
It works this way,
The world is so unique
Everyday!
Did you know?
If everyone was the same you see,
You wouldn’t be you
And I wouldn’t be me!
