World Book Week
We started the week with a whole school assembly to launch our ‘Share a million stories’ in March challenge. Keep bringing in your book share records so we can add them to our book o’meter.
We followed this with the first book buddies time. Everyone chose books and the older children shared them with the younger children. It was lovely to see all the children engaged and really enjoying books in different places with new friends.
On Tuesday, all the classes were able to develop creative dances to music, inspired by books and learning themes. Thank-you, Mrs Nunn for leading our children, and sharing their amazing creative responses with the whole school.
In the afternoon, the finalists from each year group heat competed in the Cliddesden Spelling Bee. It was closely fought with bonus house points going to the rest of the school if they managed to spell some very tricky words too. Congratulations to Eli for winning, and the runners up Elsie, Zoe, Bluebell, Luke A, Ewan and Alizé.
All the staff were very proud of the high standard of spelling across the school.
Weird write Wednesday, produced some amazing stories.
On World Book day, the children came dressed as their favourite book characters and shared their favourite books with their friends. The whole school celebrated the variety of book characters in assembly.
On Friday, the school celebrated all the challenges the classes had undertaken in our Big Class Book Off. Well done to Willow and Chestnut for completing the most challenges. Willow particularly enjoyed making pirate captains to use with our class story treasure chest to tell stories, and listening to a story in the rain! Chestnut enjoyed seeing how books are made, listening to a story outdoors and exploring book illustrations.
The children had a great week. Thanks to all the staff for making it an enriching reading experience.
