Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed World Book day today, based on the famous author Roald Dahl!
We are blown away by the effort and creativity of the costumes and characters that our children have chosen to be this year, from the BFG, Matilda, Miss Trunchbull, Charlie Bucket, Willy Wonka and more!
We have spent the day doing lots of wonderful book related activities, especially reading (George’s Marvelous Medicine). Year 5 even created their own revolting recipes and mixed up a special concoction that had us “fizzing” with excitement.
We have hunted down Golden Tickets, went on a trail for book covers, played a class quiz and spent our afternoon trawling through Mr Twits’ disgusting spaghetti.
We cannot wait for next year already!
Year 5 have been extremely lucky to learn some new dance moves!
We took part in an Indian dance work-shop and learnt the steps to a very famous song, “Jai Ho”. We put the steps together in sequence and performed our work-shop dance as a year group.
Everyone was on board learning the moves, and having a lot of fun on the way.
Well done Year 5!
The children in Key Stage 2 have been enjoying stories in French this week to celebrate World Book Day – La Journée du livre (translates as the Day of the Book)
Year 3 listened to the story ” Toutes les couleurs “( All the colours) Year 4 read the story “Le loup qui voulait changer de couleur” ( The wolf who wanted to change colour) Year 5 enjoyed the story “Pâques Schtroumpfantes” ( Smurphing Easter) The children then completed a book review for the story.
Our School Council visited Toner Avenue Primary School this week to look at their OPAL environment and talk to their OPAL ambassadors!
