New guided reading books in Year 3
Today, Year 3 finally got to unwrap their new guided reading books. After making predictions using snippets from the text they were shocked to discover most of their predictions were far away from the plot described on the blurb!
They then settled down to a few moments of reading to discover some more clues in the first few pages.

Year 6 – WW2 leaders research
After our discussion in the morning about who the various nations leaders were during World War 2, there are some links below which you may want to use to:
1. Look at the websites below and decide which leader you would like to make a factfile about.

Year 1 – water colours
Within literacy, the children have been rewriting their favourite story, the robot and the bluebird. Today they created their own little bird who brings the robots heart back to life. The focus of today’s learning was the use of water colours and how to create delicate strokes like feathers.
The children reviewed their paintings as a whole class and identified that too much water causes the colours to run. For the second paintings the children decided to use less water and focus on the shapes they can make with the paintbrush.
