World Book Day – Book Fair 📚📖

Your child/ren will bring home a letter this afternoon with information regarding our next Book Fair. The Book Fair will take place from NEXT WEDNESDAY for 1 week. Although the Book Fair is normally held in November, we have decided it would be a great opportunity to host it during World Book Day week. Not only is it World Book Day, it will also coincide with the current Readathon Challange.

We usually use the Travelling Book Company however, we feel the books are quite expensive, so have decided to use The Book People; who offer a range of book for all ages at very reasonable prices. The Book Fair will be open from 8.15am, break times and from 3.15pm. Please feel free to bring your child to browse the selection. Your child/ren will also visit the The Book Fair with their class teachers.

** If you wish to send money into school with your child to purchase a book during break time or on their allocated slot with their class teacher, it MUST be in a sealed envelope with their name clearly displayed on the front – No cash will be accepted at the office or classroom door **

Thank you

Year 4 – Model Making

Model Making

This half term, Year 4 have been studying The Iron Man by Ted Hughes in English. Since Christmas, they have written diary entries, letters, newspaper reports, recounts, poems and short stories.

In Design and Technology, the children worked in small groups to plan and create their own Iron Man model. They used a variety of recyclable items to build their metal monster and then they painted it.

The children are really pleased with their finished models and Miss Haygarth and Mrs Cooper are very impressed with their work too!
