World Book Week

This week we normally celebrate World Book Day but this week we are going to celebrate World Book Week! Miss Coldrick and the other teachers have organised a variety of activities to mark the annual celebration.

On Monday we had a Drop Everything And Read day where pupils and staff would dive into a book when the old school bell was rung. The bell ringers were very careful to make the bell ring without anyone knowing...here are some Year 2 pupils enjoying a good read.

On Tuesday the Reading Ambassadors organised a book swap in the school hall. Pupils brought in books they had read and were able to exchange them for tokens to take home new books. A big thank you to the families who donated additional books to school.

Thank you to our Reading Ambassadors   and Miss Coldrick for organising the        book swap shop.

For home learning last week pupils were asked to design a front cover to one of their favourite books. Two winners were selected from each class. Here are a few of the winning entires...

The week finished with the older pupils in the school reading with the Key Stage 1 pupils and the children in Highnam Under Fives. The week has been fantastic and a big thank you must go to the staff for organising the various activities.
