It’s been emotional…
Story Sacks
Today I met my new class, parents and carers. I told them all about my story sack and showed them all the games, puppets, literacy, Maths, science and artistic ideas created around my chosen book, The Twits. I was interested in their favorite books and we discussed some ideas for their sacks. I’m really looking forward to September and seeing the Story Sacks. I was thrilled to learn that some parents had organized a get together in the summer so they could all work on their story sacks and share ideas – what a brilliant start to new year ahead.

More books available at Watercliffe Meadow
Y4 children helped themselves to some brand new books that arrived today. The books are really ‘cool’ and they have funny and interesting titles like “On Your FARTS, Get Set, GO!” All the children in Year 4 picked a book and have to tell Mr French when they are returned so we can keep track of the books.
‘They are awesome and I will be reading a lot more of them’ says Carisha Hyatt. ‘If you like horror, I recommend BLOOD HOUSE’ says Connor Breedon.

Inventing a new character for Roald Dahl’s The Twits
In year 4 we have immersed ourselves into the world of Roald Dahl. We have been reading Roald Dahl books, watching films based on his books and looking in detail at his characters. In particular Miss Trunchbull and Mr And Mrs Twit. Yesterday the children invented a new character – The Twits pet dog.
Listening to Mr French reading
We are coming to the end of the book The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night by Mark Haddon, best book in the world. It is a funny book but it learns you a lot about prime numbers. So far we are on prime number 233 – It is an adventure book.
