Book Fair has been a great success again. The children have enjoyed exploring books and making book recommendations to each other. It has been lovely seeing so many eager faces browsing and buying so many books. We would like to thank you for your support and for helping raise money to buy new books for our school. Overall, we sold over £2000 worth of books in two days which gave the school £1100 in REWARDS that have now been used to buy new books for our classroom shelves.
We would like to say a HUGE thank you to those that attended the fair and helped restock our book cases.
On Friday 8th November Year 1 and 2 were transported back in time to 1666!
Lots of concentration and teamwork were needed at the Panathlon.
We were thrilled to invite local author, Keith Hatton, to our school on Monday 11th November. He shared his love of books and his journey of becoming a writer during our assembly, inspiring many of us to write our own books. We are never too young or too old to start! He then ran interesting writing workshops for Key Stage Two during the day.
The highlight of the day was the book signing event after school, when many of us got to meet the author, buy a signed book and receive a packet of Stan's seeds, a character in Keith's latest book Nature Boy. What a great day! Thank you, Keith, for sharing your ideas and books with us.
Years 3 and 4 were lucky enough to have an expert visitor, Mrs Horne, share rare Egyptian artefacts that had been found in Egyptian tombs. They had been brought to England by members of her family in the early 1900s after working alongside Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon.
We carefully examined the artefacts, which were very valuable, and some of us tried on jewellery and beads that we think would have once belonged to an Egyptian pharaoh. We looked at photographs of the sphinx from a long time ago and compared them to more recent photos that showed how the sphinx had been repaired.
One of our favourite artefacts was the shabti, a model of a servant, that would have been put in a tomb to help the pharaoh in the afterlife. The shabti was decorated with hieroglyphics.
We would like to thank Mrs Horne for giving up her time and sharing her priceless objects.
