Books, Bulbs and Boy (in the Tower)

World Book Day dominated this week.  We had a lovely day enjoying all things book related. Following a thoroughly enjoyable quiz – delivered by the one and only Mrs Bland, the children made some brilliant bookmarks, created their own book covers and read with children lower down the school. We also got to experience a workshop with SASA, where the children learnt some of the dance moves to Matilda the Musical.  

In science, we have moved on to our electricity topic.  We looked at the differences between series and parallel circuits and then had an opportunity to make circuits using equipment which included bulbs and motors. 

We are really enjoying our new class read, a dystopian story called Boy in the Tower.  This week, we have written newspaper articles, a formal letter and a Wikipedia entry about an invasive species of plant. 

Have a great weekend and remember the book fair will be running from today, until Wednesday 11th March.
