Today we joined an online session with the author of a beautiful book called ‘A day for sandcastles’. What made this book special was that it was a wordless picture book, meaning it was a story told in just pictures. The story was read to us by the author and he told us all about the thought process behind it and how wordless books are made! We have challenged our class to see if they can create their own wordless story at home to bring in to share!
We had a lovely visit from Miss Knowles this week as part of our teacher swap to celebrate reading week! The children loved the visit and the story that was shared with us! You showed great listening and lovely respect towards Miss Knowles, thank you!

This week in our half an hour slot we’ve made some peg animals! Inspired by my friend ‘peggy’ the giraffe 🦒 😄
Class 9 used some pictures of the Roman Empire to practise using question marks. We looked at the pictures and got our thinking caps on, what did we want to know about these images? We used the silent discussion protocol to ask questions to find out more about what we could see and what went on in Roman times!
We had a great time on our trip! Check out this video to see what we got up to 😆
Come and join us between 8:30 and 9:30 on Friday 29th September to raise money for Macmillan.

We look forward to seeing you.
It looks like Year 3/4 had great fun at the arts and crafts group during Funky Friday Time! I can’t wait to see what they get up to next time!
We had a wonderful visitor in today in Year 3, Clare from the amazing Want2Be Workshops came to help us explore our expedition theme this term; Romans! The children had so much fun dressing up as soldiers, marching like a Roman legionary, using wax tablets to translate Roman writing, creating arches and aqueducts and playing a popular Roman game; Knucklebones that Roman children (and bored soldiers) used to play… Did you know children still play this game in France?!
Well done to everyone for getting so stuck in, and a HUGE thank you to Clare, she runs a fantastically well organised workshop and had some fantastic equipment for us to see and use too!
