Each class will have story time swaps where a different adult from the school will come to read them a story. Each class will make books to be displayed in their library making every child an author!. On Thursday Years 4-6 will take part in a football themed reading quiz. All children may bring in their favourite books, comics or magazines to read on Thursday. On Friday you may choose to dress up as your favourite character- I can't wait to see who you come as.

DT Viking pop up books

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Year 6 have loved their DT Week creating Viking pop-up books. We started by conducting some market research- looking at pop up books and how they work and what we liked or disliked about them. We then practised creating lots of different mechanisms like levers, sliders, spinners and pop-up structures. In our designs, we had to create a pop up book with three different mechanisms in. Today Year 6 shared their completed books with the children in year 3 to get to constructive feedback.
