Book week begins!

Already two days into book week and lots has been happening. This years theme 'all about authors' has been proving very popular, and the children have reading lots of books and doing lots of research. The new books in the playtime book trolley have also caused a lot of excitement.

The older children have loved reading books by Roald Dahl and Paul Jennings. Year 4 have found the books by Mary Hoffman very interesting and also finding out about her. In Year 2 we have been really enjoying many of Lauren Child's books, especially the Charlie and Lola stories.

At the end of the afternoon today, many parents and grandparents, joined their children's class to share books with them and their friends. It was lovely to see how excited the children were to be able to read with their special adults.

We are all looking forward to being authors tomorrow, when we will be writing our short stories, starting with the word 'curiously...' I hope to be able to include a couple of them on the blog.
