In Reading, we finished our class novel The Firework-maker’s Daughter by Phillip Pullman. The story has transported us to many different places from a treacherous volcano to a magnificent firework competition. The text has provided us much entertainment as well as working as a stimulus for much of our writing this half term. 

We undertook our final Beats, Bones and Bodies session of the half term. The children have really engaged well with the sessions and they produced some excellent movements to show the journey of food through our bodies.  We all should now be able to identify the different parts of the digestive system. 

Next Wednesday, we are going on our school trip to the Thackray Museum. Those who haven’t signed up yet will need to do so as soon as possible. The trip will be during school hours and the children will need to come in their normal school uniform. 

Our TTrockstar of the week is Phoebe and our Lexia legend is Ameila. It is really important that we continue to keep up our Lexia usage as well as completing our TTrockstar sessions. Book club was hosted by Lukas and Mya this week. They chose ‘The Odd Fish’ by Naomi and Jamie Jones as well as ‘The Week at World’s End’ by Emma Carroll.  

I was also so proud of the class for leading the way in LKS2 attendance with a fantastic 98.3%.
