2E story writing and Book Day

This week in 2E the children have been editing and improving their stories inspired by Room on the Broom. I was very impressed with the descriptive language used and the increasing sophistication of children's writing. They worked together very well to suggest ways to make the stories better.

Book Day today was an exciting book-related day. First there was an assembly and a quiz this morning. Then, the children went to Year 7 where the Year 7 children read stories to them in small groups. After that, Mrs Simmonds read Dick King-Smith's book, Aristotle to the children, out on the panda playground. Many thanks to Mrs Simmonds for We then shared each other's book reviews and gave each other positive criticism about each one. I was again very impressed with the amount of hard work the children put into these reviews. They showed some very grown-up thinking skills!

Finally today, there were certificates given for the best costumes and for the winners of the quiz this morning.

Here are some photographs from the day. You can find many more on the website and the Facebook page.
