'If you were Headteacher of Hollin Primary for the day, what would you do?'
Pupils from Year 1-6 are invited to take part in our 100 word challenge for the Spring term. There were six Amazon gift card prizes up for grabs. We received an amazing 73 entries and the ideas that were included were fabulous. A big thank you and well done to everyone who joined in.
The winning entries were announced and shared in our graduate assembly and winners were presented with their prize.

Writing Challenge - Autumn term 2022
'Who Inspires you?'
We received 57 entries across school and enjoyed reading them all! It proved a challenge to pick just six winners, as the quality of entries was so high. A big well done to everybody who joined in.
The winning entries were announced and shared in assembly and winners were presented with their prize. The writing is now proudly showcased on our writing display. You can see who our talented winners are on Twitter by cicking here.
At Hollin, we proudly showcase a range of writing from across year groups from Nursery to Year 6. Our display is in a prominent area of school and is updated each term.

At Hollin, pupils in Year 1-6 take part in a weekly spelling challenge. Spellings are shared with pupils and sent home with them to learn, ready for the following week.
From Spring 2023, we are going to introduce a 'Spelling Superstar award' across year groups 1-6. Class teams will choose two pupils from their class, to receive the award each half term. They will be presented with our special certificate and their names added to our new display. There are many reasons that pupils could receive this award. Pupils may receive this award for consistently learning their spellings, or for improving their spelling scores week on week.
Here is our 'Spelling Superstar' certificate.
The first recipients of our 'Spelling Superstars' award were announced in assembly on Friday 17th February 2023. Their faces are now proudly displayed on our spelling display and were shared via our Twitter feed. A huge well done to them all.
'Spelling Superstars' for the second Spring term will be announced by Friday 31st March 2023
