In this Book Week’s newsletter the school has been filled with the sounds of turning pages, as the children have been busy enjoying Book Week.
1. Share A Book – Each day the children were asked to choose a book that they thought they would like to listen to and go to different classes around school and listen to other teachers reading the stories.
2. Activity Carousel – Each class teacher had chosen a book and planned activities for the children to complete in their classrooms. The teachers introduced the books they had chosen and explained the activities to the children.
Then the fun began
a) Making Pukekos with paper, pipe-cleaners and pastels in Nursery – ‘Perky the Pukeko’ by Michelle Osment.
b) 3-d Spider webs and Matchbox Spider House making in Reception – ‘Aaaarrgghh Spider’ by Lydia Monks.
c) Designing iridescent bugs in Year 1 – ‘All About Minibeasts’.
d) Making strange soups, pizzas, juices and ice-creams, using the rhyme ‘Do You Like’ and the book ‘Grandpa Pot’ by Siobhan Dodds.
