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!

Design a library!

16th September 2024Rebecca Knowles

This year, we are working hard to raise money to develop our reading for pleasure library so firstly, we would like to say a huge thank you for all your sponsors from the colour run which will go along way to helping us!

Secondly, we still need your help! We would love for you to help us design the library based on the space we have to use which is the foyer area near the hall.

Please design your ideal library and share your plans with Miss Knowles in person or at [email protected] This is for everyone across school to get involved in! Please send your plans by 7th October.

We can’t wait to see your fantastic ideas which will help us design the perfect library!

History Club

11th June 2024Jayne Rodgers

The children in History Club continued their learning on D Day tonight by adding to the 80th Anniversary commemoration display in the KS1 corridor. Children from all year groups have contributed work to the display and I am blown away by both the quality of the work, and the empathy shown in the content of the writing. We discussed the Normandy landings on the morning of the 6th of June 1944, and the children learned about the reasons behind the previous evening’s mass drop of paratroopers behind Hitler’s Atlantic Wall and how these brave men fought to capture and hold roads and bridges to secure a safer passage for those who were to follow in the beach attacks the next day.

There are still a few finishing touches to be added and photographs of the completed display will be blogged as soon as it is completed but here is a sneak preview…
