Principal’s Report Seven Steps to Writing Success

Sizzling Starts

Sizzling starts aim to grab the reader’s attention immediately. Great stories start with some action or adventure to hook the reader in. Think about some movies – James Bond starts with an action scene, Toy Story starts with a cowboy robbing a bank…….

Now for the Sizzling Start The Cranky Tooth Fairy ‘Whaaaaat… Is that the fairy?’ the little kid in the bed muttered. ‘No!’ said the Tooth Fairy. ‘Be quiet. And keep your eyes shut or you’ll get no money for your tooth.’ It was her 104th visit for the night and her wings hurt and she was definitely over eager little kids.

HSIE Teacher

Mrs Georgina Wozniak has been appointed to BCS for the rest of the year as HSIE teacher. Mrs Wozniak has done some casual work at BCS and will make an excellent addition to our school. Mrs Wozniak will start here next Monday.
