This week has been Book Week and we have had a fantastic week. We have read lots of books and we decided to have a Julia Donaldson focus and lots of children brought their books in. Eden brought in the book 'Paper Dolls' and that gave us the idea of making our own paper doll chains.
We had a session called 'take one picture' and we chose a picture from 'The Gorilla' by Anthony Brown. The children did some amazing follow up activities including using their imagination to write about what might happen next, painting some illustrations and making clay gorillas.
On Thursday we had a session with the Year 3 children in the junior school. We had a session called 'Take one book' and we chose 'Where the Wild Things Are'. We read the story with Year 3 and then we did some follow up activities in our classrooms. We have made an amazing collage, some puppets, and some books. At the end of the day we shared our work with Year 3 and watched their drama.
We use books as a starting point for our maths and did some interesting problem solving and practiced talking about numbers more and less.
Our dress up day was a great success and we enjoyed reading some of the stories that the children brought in. We have put some photos on the website. The teachers dressed up as 'Where's Wally'. Can you find them?
Next week we are thinking about road safety, directional language and money. We will be going on a trip around the village and we will be having a road safety work shop on Thursday morning. The parents are invited to the assembly at 9.20 am.
