Year 4 Enrichment

In Year 4 Enrichment they have been creating a river for their wordless book inspired by Aaron Becker’s award-winning book ‘The Tree and the River’. They have had to consider how a story unfolds sequentially and how to ensure their illustrations fit together across the pages in order to tell the story. Catherine Duncumb

Relax and Read

Lots of keen readers curled up with a book at Wednesday’s Relax & Read. Wonderful to see so many pupils from all year groups. Catherine Duncumb

Pupil Librarians

Emilia and Tate worked hard this week preparing some new books for cataloguing by adding barcodes, address labels, genre stickers, and stamps. Catherine Duncumb

 

Inspired Marketing!

Tamsin has spent her off-games sessions making a poster for the library. Firstly she counted all the different animals represented in story books within the Animal genre. She then made a poster so that other people can find any animal books they might be looking for. Catherine Duncumb
