Celebrating World Book Day

Adventurers had a fantastic day celebrating World book Day. They really enjoyed talking about their favourite books and showing each other their costumes. There was a real buzz in school during collective worship and play times when all the children got together!

In class, we spent the day re-writing and illustrating the Fairytale ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. The whole class helped with the story by changing the plot, character traits and the settings. Our story took place in Sleights where a friendly little wolf helped Red Riding Hood find her way to school. Their journey together included lots of maths activities and questions we we hoped would engage the reader.

The children enjoyed being videoed reading their story so it could be shared on Tapestry.

A fresh half-term.

Welcome back everyone, i hope you had a great half-term.

Learners have been busy as always this week.

We have begun our English work around narrative and have enjoyed retelling The Three Billy Goats Gruff using a story map. We  are excited to develop our own stories, based on this popular story, as the weeks go on.

In maths we are learning about 3D shapes this week. There has been a lot of discussion about the names and properties of 3D shapes.

In Science, our new topic is plants. On Tuesday we looked carefully at daffodils in class and were able to draw and label the parts of a plant.

In RE, we have a new value, Justice. We have delighted in being able to resume our whole school Collective Worship in the Hall, this has been lovely to enjoy and learn together again.

We REALLY enjoyed World Book Day this week. We dressed up as a character from a book – and we looked amazing! We worked so hard to create our own class book, with a maths theme (which was personalised to Sleights School). We were SO proud to produce ‘Odd Bob and Even Steven Go To Sleights School’. We worked on one page each and the result was tremendous – a real team effort. The book will go in our library for all to enjoy!

Great work Learners!
