Reading Ambassadors

Here are our first group of Year 6 Reading Ambassadors working with some Year 2 children on their reading in the school library.

World Book Day

Lots of activities were held in school to mark World Book Day 2024.

Children came into school dressed up in clothes associated with a matching word. There was an incredible variety of words on display showing fantastic vocabulary! The winner from each glass received a golden coin to use in the library vending machine to take home a book of their choice.

In class, we based our English work on the novel 'Windows' by Julia Denos. The children explored the text and analysed the illustrations in the book as one boy catches glimpses of the lives around him when taking his dog out for a walk.

In the afternoon, all the children assembled to complete a parade around school to show off their outfits before heading off into their House groups for some final story-telling.

Valentine's Day Poetry Competition

Well done to our Valentine's Day poetry competition winners! Each of them have taken home a prize for their brilliant work. Thank you to everyone who took the time to write a poem. The librarians enjoyed reading each and every one of them.
