Good evening everyone!
Wow! Another week has gone already! Where does the time go? The children have certainly settled back into things very quickly and are, once again, working incredibly hard.
We had a brilliant day yesterday for World Book Day. The children began by drawing a picture taken from their favourite book and telling others why they'd chosen it. We then read and focused our activities around the gorgeous picture book 'Molly and the Storm'. Although it unfortunately reminded us all of the dreadful weather and floods we've been enduring recently, it focuses on the fabulous qualities of kindness and thoughtfulness, especially for those in need. It helped us consider the extreme kindness being shown towards the families in the Ukraine at the moment. The children thoroughly enjoyed submerging themselves in the text as they created gorgeous pastel drawings of the setting and mapping the journey the family of mice take. The children then went on to create story maps and worked together to create 3D story boxes too. I was very impressed with the fabulous D.T. skills and team work the children demonstrated as they worked. Finally, the children enjoyed role playing the story too; we saw some very impressive acting!!
Here are some of the books the children said were their favourites;
Thank goodness 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' was one!!!!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews & Miss Hewitt
