Year 4 looked wonderful in their costumes on Thursday as many different characters from different stories visited the school. I’m sorry that Mrs Finnie isn’t in the photo. You can see her as a fantastic “Cat in the Hat” in the bulletin photo.
Thank you for supporting your children in sending in the objects and pictures in their matchboxes. There were many beautiful and precious items and it was wonderful to hear their stories. The children really enjoyed using them in their writing and it is these sort of stimuli which bring out their creativity and desire to use writing to communicate ideas and feelings. Here they are talking about their objects with each other. They wrote about two objects. We analysed the first piece of writing for successful parts and to identify what could be changed and the second pieces of writing were all improved on the first ones. If anyone would has a use for the matches from 100 matchboxes, please let me know!
I hope you’re all enjoying the wonderful sunshine!
