Book Fair

Reading in Unusual Places Competition

Our children have been so inspired by the reading day and so many were reading outside during their lunch breaks that it gave us an idea. We would love photos of your child reading in an usual place! It could be taken anywhere that they have an opportunity to read. Send them in and there will be a prize for the most unusual place. Pictures to be in by Tuesday 11th February.

Following the success of the reading day, we have arranged for a book fair during the week beginning Monday 30th March. It is being delivered by ‘Travelling Books’ and you can see a lot of information on their website.

The World Book Day vouchers will be given out on World Book Day which is on Thursday 5th March. You can choose to purchase a free book from bookshops or save your token until the bookfair and use it for £1 off a book.

World Book Day – Thursday 5th March. We will be encouraging children to come as a favourite character and we might see some different ones from the Bookfest books!

Young Voices 2020

The choir had an amazing day at the Genting Arena on Monday to form part of the Young Voices choir. There were around 6000 children participating in this event and everything came together for a wonderful performance in the evening. They had learnt a good variety of songs including: Frightfest, Ode To Joy, A Queen and Pop Medley. There were lots of actions to learn too!

Well done everyone!

 

Reading Day

We have had an exciting day to launch our Bookfest and Reading Miles journey. We set out to inspire all our children with a pyjama day and lots of reading activities. Each class are taking part in their own ‘Bookfest’ and we have purchased new books, thanks to the PTA, to support this project. Children were so keen to read through their lunchtimes too! What a wonderful day!

This week we have been building up our understanding of multiplying 2  numbers by 1 digit numbers  (or 3  numbers by 1 digit numbers for year 4).  Our homework in our green books this week uses these skills.

Here is an example of how we have been doing our calculations this week:

Last week we started to look at pronouns. We are continuing with this focus in grammar this week.  Our homework in our green books this week uses these skills.
