Nursery have been using puppets to retell stories in the provision. We looked at stories such as the three bears and red riding hood. 
 

We have had lots of fun learning about the Julia Donaldson stories.  We looked at the Gruffalo and made some Gruffalo crumble.  Some of us thought it was delicious, some of us didn’t like it at all!  We acted out the rhyme about the big bad mouse too!

Year 2 have been word detectives today. They have been learning to use dictionaries to help them improve their spelling when writing. They had great fun finding given words then transferring them into their personal dictionaries.

This morning, Year 4 visited Egremont Library to choose a book to take home to read and share with family over the Christmas holiday. 

Year 4 have been feeling festive in their Christmas jumpers, listening to classic Christmas music while they write a final version of their legends. 

Year 2 enjoyed a visit to Egremont library today. They had a good browse through before choosing a book to take home. The session ended with a story read by Miss McKendrey.

Year 4 enjoyed their visit to the library this morning. They were very mature, with excellent behaviour. They also took the time to complete the Library comments slip to leave feedback. 

After reading a paragraph from Viking Boy describing the ‘God Temple’, Y5 drew a pencil sketch showing their interpretation of the description. 

Year 6 spent a morning at the library on Friday. They chose some lovely books to book out and enjoy reading at home and also enjoyed listening to a chapter of their current class novel: Street Child. 

Y5 enjoyed choosing and reading new books today at Egremont Library.

Year 2 visited Egremont Library this morning. We all agreed that there are so many fabulous books in the library that it can be very difficult to choose which one to take home which means we will just have to return during the holidays to choose another back. 

Year 2 enjoyed looking through their big red writing books to look at their writing journey so far through school. They were all interested, amazed and proud at how much progress they have made.
