World Book Day 2022

7th March 2022 By sofiagurbillon

We have had a wonderful day celebrating the 25th Anniversary of World Book Day today. Each classroom door has been decorated with a giant book cover. The children and staff dressed up for the occasion and we all enjoyed sharing our favourite characters and books. We had Peter Pan, Willie Wonka, an enormous green dragon, Princess Belle and Mary Poppins to name a few! The day began with a whole school assembly led by our Librarians. They had prepared a quiz for the children with some rather tricky questions and we sang our favourite World Book Day songs.

Mambo Jambo

17th February 2022 By sofiagurbillon

On Wednesday 16th of February, Mambo Jambo came into school and performed some music which made lots of noise! Pete and Frankie, who were a duet, played lots of instruments including the accordion, drums, steel pans, saxophone, clarinet and banjo.

First, we did body percussion using a simple rhythm pattern. Then they taught us a traditional sea shanty using ‘call and response’. Pete and Frankie were very impressed with our singing. Finally, they told us about the different carnival instruments and we all played the claves. We made up a rhythm using the words, ‘coconuts are nice, pineapple is nice’. We all joined in with the singing and dancing – just like a real carnival. It was great fun!

Magic Show

22nd October 2021 By sofiagurbillon

Reported by Seth, Gracie and James

On Thursday 21st of October, a magician came to our school. He did multiple tricks. Our favourite trick was when he made a pumpkin disappear. He also made some amazing Halloween characters made out of balloons. We were all very eager to be his assistant magician. Lillian, Seth and Andrew did an excellent job! It was super fun. It was really exciting and we laughed a lot. The blow up cemetery was amazing.

A virtual World Book Day 2021

26th March 2021 By sofiagurbillon

Throughout this week, the children have engaged with various activities promoting a love of reading. We’ve had virtual story times, a virtual quiz, an online I-spy twenty characters and a very funny tongue twister competition! On Thursday, the children dressed up as their favourite character from a book – we had Cedric Diggory, Minion, Darth Vader, Stanley Ipkiss and the Karate Kid to mention a few. The children (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed trying to guess “The Masked Reader”.

Thank you to everyone for taking part in the virtual activities – we hope you had lots of fun!
