World Book Day

Today we celebrated World Book Day as part of our Book Week in school. Everyone was asked to dress up as a character from their favourite book and we saw some fantastic costumes. Can you work out who everyone is?

In Blue Class this week we have looked at a different story extract each day. We began the week with The Hobbit, where we did some role play as Bilbo Baggins and Gollum. We then read from The Phantom Tolbooth and produced some artwork inspired by the settings in the story.

On Wednesday we read from Dr Dolittle and sculpted some of the characters from clay, including the very rare pushmi-pullyu.

And today we read an extract from The Borrowers and designed our own board games based on the story.

Tomorrow, we'll be finishing off our work from the week and hopefully adding some paint to our clay sculptures (if they are dry enough!). What is your favourite moment from a book? Leave us a comment below and tell us all about why you like it.

One final challenge: where's Wally?

Children in Need

Thanks to everyone who brought in some coppers for our coin trail. We have raised nearly £53 for Children in Need.

Children in Need

Welcome to the first post on our new school blog. We hope that you find this a useful area to find out what has been happening around the school.

This first post is all about the dotty goings on on Children in Need day. Children arrived at school in all manner of spotty outfits (and some of the staff looked a bit odd too!). One child even went to the great effort of getting into character as a dalmation, with a full fancy dress costume.

Children brought in copper coins and we made a trail which went twice around the school corridor!

When some boys from Blue class collected all the money in a bucket at the end of the day they could hardly lift it. We would like to thank everyone who made an effort to dress up and brought in a contribution. We will let you know soon, after poor Mrs Sayer has counted all of those coins, what the grand total came to.
