World Book Day Fun

Leave a comment

We have had so much fun taking part in fun activities to celebrate the books and stories of the world. The activities were: creating bookmarks, tracing a character from a story, reading and using interactive story apps, listening to the book ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ which inspired the staff team costume theme!!! And of course we had puppet making, a parade to show off our awesome creations, winners being chosen for Extreme Reading and Best Costume for every class!!!! We have had a super day!!! We also got a lot of our class novel ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. Here are some photos:

Literacy Homework

Children need to learn their spellings. There will continue to be a spelling test on a Friday however they all know that they can decide how they would like to learn these words. We have used many different activities in class and for homework over the last two terms, so children should be familiar with activities to use. If they are unsure, they can choose from this list:

  • Blue Vowels
  • Vowel Circle
  • Rainbow Write
  • Elkonin Boxes
  • Diacritical Marking

Or look back on previous homework posts, ask in class or use
