We had a brilliant day yesterday (6th March 25) for World Book Day. We created Reading Rivers of our Reading journey over a short space of time and we studied the illustration-only book, Flotsam by David Wiesner, carrying out a number of activities linked to the title. We thought about whether the main character should throw the camera back in the water and the children took part in 'Conscience Alley' to give both sides of the argument: the character should throw the camera back in the water or he should not throw the camera back in the water.

We met up with our Reading Buddies in the afternoon to share our favourite books with them.

What a great day!

First Aid Training with St. John Ambulance

In English, in Term 1, we have been working on the text Greenling, by Levi Pinfold. We have used drama and role-play to find out more about Greenling's character in preparation for writing our own first person narratives. We used 'Hot Seating' to interview the Greenling character to find out more about his backstory, personality and motives. We had a lot of fun.
