WORLD BOOK DAY

The children enjoyed World Book Day on Thursday 6th March and welcomed the opportunity to dress up and bring their favourite book to school. The children from Class 3 and Class 4 chose which book they wanted to hear being read with 7 to choose from, and Class 1 and Class 2 worked in small groups to listen to lots of stories being read by staff from their class. We also had a visit from Tom Smith who is a goalkeeper with Colchester United. He very kindly donated some books to the school and answered children's questions. Class 1 and 2 also enjoyed joining in with some fun online lessons! A great day enjoyed by all.

WORLD BOOK DAY

STORIES ABOUT BAYNARD THE KNIGHT

We had an exciting day when Baynard the Knight was the focus of everyone's writing. The children let their imaginations run wild and all worked hard to complete their best piece of writing. Children in Class 1 completed the day by painting pictures of Baynard the Knight.

In preparation, children listened to stories about a knight, were read the openings of stories written by their teachers and shared ideas in their classes. They then created plans and finally got to write! We have put a piece of writing from each year group into a book which will be kept in Reception. Next time you are in school, please take the opportunity to have a read!

The pictures below show the children hard at work and some of their writing.
