‘The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.’
Dr Seuss
This week we have been creative and shared our love of reading for World Book Day. I loved seeing lots of different characters and we created our own class book Not a Stick. We were inspired by the book Not a Stick by Antoinette Portis and used our imagination to create our own stick pictures. Saying I’m not just a stick I am a ….. I have turned our fantastic work into a video for you to share at home. We then enjoyed the different World Book Day activities in the classroom, we wrote our own version of The Gruffalo, created bookmarks, used all the crayons so they didn’t feel left out and quit like the day the crayons quit, wrote captions for Supertato characters, retol Where the Wild Things are, built a house for the Three little pigs and made different characters with playdough. We then shared our story with our Year 4 buddies and they shared their story too.
On Wednesday we went for a material hunt outside and labelled their properties, it was a great way for us to recap on our learning from last half term. I was impressed with how much we remembered!
Tea Dance
We enjoyed another session with Sarah on Wednesday. Our dance is coming together.

Please can you check your child has the right trainers, on Wednesday someone accidently put the wrong trainers back on they are black nike trainers with a full white tick.
Polite reminder that all children across school should bring water in their bottles and not juice. This is something that we discuss regularly in school as part of our discussions about healthy snacks and healthy lunches. Please can you bring in healthy snacks please refer to the poster for suitable snack, we always have fruit avalible too.
Please can you bring/keep spare uniform in bags, as the weather has been wet recently, children have fallen over in puddles and it can sometimes be tricky finding spare uniform for them in the right size.
