Extended Study – Half Term Challenge!

On November 1st it is National Authors Day!

With all of our hard work towards our Reading Library we’d like to know who your favourite authors are?

How could you celebrate your favourite author?

  • You could share a story with a family member and take a picture to share
  • Listen to a story being read by your favourite author
  • Listen to a podcast
  • Create a fact-file about your favourite author
  • Be creative and become an author and write your own story! We could even have these displayed in your reading area!

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Have a lovely half term!

Year 3/4 – Singing Homework

16th October 2024Claire Dutton

This week, Year 3 and 4 have been learning and studying the WW1 marching song – It’s a Long Way to Tipperary! We will be singing this at our Celebration of Learning / Christmas production so it would be really great if everybody could have a practise over half-term.

Thank you for your continued support, The LKS2 Team.

How many astronauts do you know?

As part of National Space Week, why don’t you choose an astronaut to research? You could make a poster or a fact file about your chosen astronaut.

Extended Study – National Poetry Day

1st October 2024Sophie Myers

On Thursday, it is National Poetry Day! As it links with this weeks Reading Week it would be great to see lots of you get involved.

Below is a link to the official website where it tells you lots of information about the day and ways that you can get involved.

The theme this year is COUNTING. I wonder how many of you could write a short poem linking to the theme?

On the same link, it shows you lots of examples of poems. You might even want to practice one of them at home. Would you have the courage to perform the poem to your crew?

Send photographs, videos or bring in your poems – We can’t wait to see them!

Extended Study – What’s your favourite book?

19th September 2024Sophie Myers

Next week is Green Libraries week. Have you ever visited your local library?

To celebrate, Crew Council is setting everyone a task to recommend their favourite books to their peers.

You could present this as a poster, a book review, a leaflet or a picture of the front cover of your favourite book.

Next week, your Crew Councillor will be presenting theirs – this might help you with some ideas!

Please hand in your finished piece to your Crew leaders. These will look amazing in your class reading area! You could even bring in your favourite book to share with your friends!

As an extra challenge – Could you research what Green Libraries week is about? What does it mean to be Green and Sustainable?

I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
