Update from 6th Class

In January and February, 6th class enjoyed ball skills with Coach Steve. We have also been learning all about World War II. As part of our World War II theme we have been reading “The boy in striped pyjamas” , learning about the allies and axis and we have been making battle scenes. We hope to display our projects after midterm. We’ve been baking as part of our procedural writing genre for English too! Take a look at some of the photographs below!

Book Week

Book Week and Dress-Up as a Character from a Book 

As we get ready to celebrate Book Week this week, we are appealing for donations of books that your child may have outgrown. Spring is an ideal time to sort through and donate any used books to us, and on Friday, we hope that every child will be able to receive new books. We have collection boxes in each classroom, ready and waiting for your donations.

Across the school, we have planned a number of activities for all our pupils. Each child will be encouraged to bring in their favourite book, and also to share a photo of their favourite place to read. The highlight of our Book Week will be on Friday, when everyone is encouraged to dress up as a character from their favourite book.

Busy times in Room 20

Things have been so busy in Room 20! Lots of building, playing and yummy treats. We even had some of our friends in to show them our new room. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for us!

Library -Update

Our library is back in action, following a temporary reconfiguration to accommodate a space for Special Education Teaching and an additional space for the children in Room 20. A big thanks to our three Librarians for their time and commitment – all three are parents who have volunteered their time to ensure children can borrow and read books from our well-stocked library on a regular basis.
