Year One World Book Day

For World Book Day Year One started off by introducing everyone and who they have come as. Then we drew along with an illustrator from the Literacy Trust. In Literacy we wrote a description of our characters. Finally, we made bookmarks and read lots of stories together.

This week we had the first round draw of the Book World Cup! Which book will win?

Year 4 Book Talk: Mez's Magic

Nursery LOVE to read!

Children spent some time looking at different books. Children all sat in a circle and some children even shared the book they were reading with another friend! Children in nursery love to read different books! We love that they love to read and love books!

I read... What's your superpower?

In Year 2, we love exploring books and using our imaginations. We regularly explore vocabulary and practise our skills of inference and retrieval in our daily 'Book Talk' sessions.
