Firstly, I would like to say what
a fantastic array of costumes we had yesterday! All the children were so proud
and it was extremely difficult picking the Best
Costume Award, but as a team we finally decided on Roybn as she dressed as Cinderella before she went to the ball!
Congratulations Roybn!
We discussed many books yesterday
and in particular shared some chapter books with the class! Some of these books
will be for your child to aspire to be able to read and others will be
accessible to them.

Next
time you are in a book shop or online look up these titles and share them with
your child!
We themed the main part of the
day around the picture book, The Pirate-Cruncher by Jonny Duddle – I said
Capitan Purplebeard visited the school and captured me so we had to complete
the pirate activities to find the treasure and not walk the plank! They really
enjoyed the day!
There are lots of other books by
Jonny Duddle and he has a similar way of writing as Julia Donaldson so I would
recommend his books for your Year 1!
This afternoon the whole school will watch a theatre performance
and then on Monday we are having a Collaboration Day! This day will involve the
whole school changing classes and working with children in different year
groups.
