Book Week 2022

What an exciting week we have had in school. The children have all thoroughly enjoyed all the activities that have taken place. Many thanks to all those parents/carers who took so much thought and care over their choice of words for the dressing up day on Thursday. We had ‘ferocious’, ‘indecisive’ and ‘colourful’ and also lots of new words that I had never heard of which have helped to widen my vocabulary!

We have been focusing on books with an environmental theme as part of book week. In Reception, they looked at story of ‘Somebody Swallowed Stanley’ following the journey of a plastic bag that has been thrown away. In Year 1,  they have looked at the book ‘One World’ by Michael Foreman focusing on children who find an oil spill in a rock pool and create their own mini-world. In Year 2, they have explored the book ‘Greta and The Giants’ and written their own persuasive speeches inspired by Greta Thunberg.  They also have been designing their own persuasive posters on the Ipads using Pic Collage.   In Year 3, they have been reading ‘There’s a rang-tang in my bedroom’ and then having designed a chocolate bar to be palm oil free have written persuasive letters to chocolate companies persuading them to sell their chocolate bar.We have been focusing on books with an environmental theme as part of book week.
