Kickstarting the year with "Take One Book Week"
The first week back at school has been nothing short of exhilarating! Our ‘Take One Book Week’ has ignited a passion for reading across the year group. In HB1, the children were inspired by the whimsical tale of Simon Sock by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, while in HB2, Invisible by Tom Percival captured the imaginations of our eager readers. HB3 were captivated by The Comet by Joe Todd-Stanton and in HB4, the children dived into the intriguing narrative of The Bridges, also penned by Tom Percival.
Beyond books, the children have begun the academic year immersing themselves in the world of Amazing Animals. During writing lessons, Peter Rabbit brought joy and creativity to their stories, while guided reading sessions with Roald Dahl's The Enormous Crocodile provided plenty of laughs and learning opportunities. In science, they eagerly examined the topic of animals, including humans, reinforcing their connections with the natural world.
It has been heartening to see the children settling in so well, embracing their learning journey with heaps of enthusiasm. Here's to an exciting year ahead filled with discovery and joy in our classrooms!
