The children had a fantasic time taking part in the Ready Steady Read with Emma Perry. They loved pretending to be grumpy for one story and then enjoyed listening to the author Emma Perry reading out her new stories.
This week we celebrate World Book day on Thursday. During the week, we have lots of fun reading and book events taking place. 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.
Here is our home learning for this half term all linked to our topic 'How does your garden grow?'. Please remember to complete tasks in your home learning book and send them into school or upload them to Seesaw. Remember completing all 8 pieces of homework earns you a gold award, 6 pieces earns you a silver award and 4 pieces earns you a bronze award. We cannot wait to see all the brilliant things that you do!
In Spring 2, our topic is 'How does your garden grow?'. We will be learning all about plants, the environment and Beatrix Potter. We will even go on a trip to our local park Gorse Hall. For more information regarding what we are learning about this half term, please see the MTP below.
