World Book Day 2022
World Book Day 2022!
This year to celebrate World Book Day, we are going to have the theme of ‘cosy up with a book’. Therefore, we asked children to come into school dressed in their PJs, dressing gown and slippers (or other appropriate footwear). We also asked children to bring in their favourite book to share with their friends.
Over the half term, we set a challenge for families to complete! The challenge is called ‘Story in a Jar’. We asked children to use a clear, clean jar to show a scene from their favourite story. They will then be display in the hall for children to visit throughout the day.
Key Stage One Workshop
On Wednesday 2nd March, the children in year 1 and 2 had the fantastic opportunity to meet Clare Luthor, the author of 'The Little Paws Hotel' series of books. The children were very excited to meet her as they have looked at one of her books, 'Olive', this week. This story is based on a miniature dachshund who is visiting a new place and arrives feeling worried. Oliver then shows the children what she does to manage through the day.
Clare's books are based on talking about big emotions that are part of everyday life. The rhyming books are relatable and well researched; each story helps children to explore their thoughts and feelings, offering them useful ways to think their emotions through and get conversations started.
If you are interested in learning more about the series of books please visit this website https://www.head2heartbooks.com/ You will also be able to purchase some of her books here as well.
Siku ya Kitabu Duniani 2022 Mwaka huu kusherehekea Siku ya Ulimwengu ya Kitabu, tutakuwa na mandhari ya <unk> comfortable up with a book<unk>. Kwa hiyo, tuliwaomba watoto waje shuleni wakiwa wamevaa nguo zao za kulala, mavazi ya kulala na viatu (au viatu vingine vinavyofaa). Pia, watoto walipewa kitabu chao cha kupenda ili wawape marafiki zao. Katika nusu ya muhula, tuliweka changamoto kwa familia kukamilisha! Changamoto hiyo inaitwa "Hadithi katika Chupa". Watoto walipewa jar safi ili kuonyesha sehemu ya hadithi wanayoipenda. Kisha zitaonyeshwa katika ukumbi ili watoto waweze kuzitembelea siku nzima. "Mwaka huu wa kwanza wa maonyesho ya ""The Little Paws Hotel"" ni mwaka wa kwanza kwa watoto wa darasa la kwanza na la pili kukutana na Clare Luthor, mwandishi wa vitabu vya ""The Little Paws Hotel.""" Watoto walikuwa na msisimko sana kumwona wakati walipoangalia moja ya vitabu vyake, 'Olive', wiki hii. Hadithi hii inategemea dachshund ndogo ambaye anatembelea mahali jipya na anawasili akihisi wasiwasi. Kisha Oliver anawaonyesha watoto kile anachofanya ili atimize siku yake. Vitabu vya Clare vinategemea kuzungumza juu ya hisia kubwa ambazo ni sehemu ya maisha ya kila siku. Vitabu vya mashairi ni vya kuvutia na vina utafiti mzuri; kila hadithi husaidia watoto kuchunguza mawazo na hisia zao, kuwapa njia muhimu za kufikiria hisia zao na kuanza mazungumzo.
