Our new class text for English in Year 4 is The Land of Roar. The children have showed so much enthusiasm in English this week when making predictions about the story, answering retrieval questions, summarising the events from a selection of chapters and making inferences about the characters feelings. We can't wait to find out if Arthur and Win can save Arthur's grandad from his nemesis Crowky!
5T have been loving our end of the day story for this term, The Last Bear. Who knew polar bears could be tempted to be friends with you if you offered them an oat biscuit with peanut butter on?!
We've also had some great recommendations for our door- Ivy enjoyed Inkheart and Isla loves The Day I Fell Into A Fairytale.
Isn't it great to share a book with a friend? That is what Year 6 have been doing during Bagel Book Club this week.
In English, Year 3 are focusing on Roald Dahl's hilarious story; The Twits. The children have loved reading the story, getting into the role of the different characters and have let their imaginations run away when creating their own gruesome trick meal. Our next task is to write the next trick to be played on Mr Twit!
In Year 1 and 2 we are certainly getting into the festive spirit! Not only are we working hard to learn the Nativity story for our production, we are also enjoying listening to stories all about Christmas. Each day, at home time, we hear a new Christmas themed story which the children are thoroughly enjoying. Why not ask your child about the stories that they have heard so far?
In English, we are focusing on Paddington's Christmas Post. The children have loved hearing the story and exploring all of the letters, cards and other gifts that Paddington sends and receives throughout the story. We are gearing up to writing letters to Santa at the end of the week!
We had some wonderful poetry written as entries to our national poetry competition to celebrate National Poetry Day on October 3rd. Here we are showcasing some of the fabulous work of 5T, with poems about the seasons, space and animals linking to what we have been finding out about in our class!
Take a look at some of Mrs Marsh and Miss Thompson's favourite books. Are you inspired to choose a new author or genre? Watch this space for more books being added this year- Miss Thompson is currently reading The Last Bear by Hannah Gold and it is certainly looking to be a door-worthy book!
