Year 2 have been exploring dictionaries in their poetry lesson. They used the alphabet to help them locate words in a physical dictionary before searching words, from their poetry, in an online dictionary using the iPad.

To conclude our poetry topic, we have been performing our haiku and cinquain poems, using actions, emphasising rhythms and changing our intonation. We certainly had some very dramatic performances!

Our final visit to Egremont Library together as a St St Bridget’s pupil. Great to see everyone returning, selecting and withdrawing books independently with confidence, ready to be independent library users. 

On Friday some of our Nursery 1 children enjoyed a visit to the book bus. They sat beautifully and listened to a story before getting to pick some stories to take back and share with the rest of Nursery in our Reading Area.

Today we enjoyed a visit from the Library Van with Claire the librarian.  We had a fantastic time choosing new books to share in class. Once we had all chosen a book, Claire kindly read a story. It was really fun having story time on the Library Van. 
 

Today, Year 5 visited the Library Van to refresh our class library with new books.
We learned about all the different genres available, including horror, comedy, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. Everyone enjoyed choosing their own books, and we had a great time reading them back in class.
