Year 2 Book Event: Stick Man - 21st November
We really enjoyed our Year 2 book event inspired by Stick Man and the children were so enthusiastic.
They listened to the story and created their very own unique Stick Man to take on adventures.
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
A heartwarming modern classic, perfect for sharing at Christmas.
'Stick Man lives in the family tree
With his Stick Lady Love
and their stick children three.'
But it's dangerous being a Stick Man.
A dog wants to play with him, a swan builds her nest with him. He even ends up on a fire!
Will he ever get back to the family tree in time for Christmas? Perhaps Santa can help...

Year 4 Book Event: Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx - 19th November
Year 4 solved the riddle of the sphinx at their book event on Tuesday. They hunted for clues, found Roman numerals and unlocked the padlock before having to bury the scroll in sand without touching the container. Their problem solving and team work was put to the test and they all did very well!
The children have been reading ‘Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx’ by the brilliant Joe Todd Stanton in their English lessons this term.

Buried amongst the treasures in Professor Brownstone’s vault, lie his most prized possessions – a humble collection of books. Filled with stories from his ancestors, they contain tales of fearless fighters, unlikely heroes and legends from years gone by. Many years have passed since the tale of Arthur and the Golden Rope and Arthur is now a world-famous adventurer. If only his daughter Marcy shared his enthusiasm for exploration... Determined to bring out Marcy’s adventurous side, Arthur sets off to Egypt to bring back the legendary Book of Thoth. When Arthur doesn’t return, Marcy must follow in his footsteps. Can she overcome her fears and rescue her father from the clutches of the Great Sphinx?

Year 5 Book Event: Armstrong - 7th November 2024
Year 5 let their inner Armstrong soar last night. They built balloon rockets and explored the night sky, taking in different planets and constellations. Highlights included, Miss Davies and Mr Youdale racing balloons, and children saying "Mr Nicholson, I've found Uranus"!

This term, children have been reading the book ‘Armstrong - the adventurous journey of a mouse to the moon.’
‘A long time ago a mouse learned to fly . . . and crossed the Atlantic. But what happened next? Torben Kuhlmann's stunning book transports readers to the moon and beyond! On the heels of Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse comes Armstrong: A Mouse on the Moon where dreams are determined only by the size of your imagination and the biggest innovators are the smallest of all. The book ends with a brief non-fiction history of human space travel from Galileo s observations concerning the nature of the universe to man's first steps on the moon."
