Wow! What a grrrrrrrreat day today has been! The costumes have been absolutely fantastic.Well done to you all for getting involved in transforming yourself into an African animal! I felt like I was teaching a zoo of animals as you all looked so realistic!

It has been a very busy, fun filled day!
In Literacy we have been planning and writing a free verse poem. We looked at using the language feature of personification! The writing was fantastic and we are going to publish these and display them in the classroom. Who can remember what personification means?

We also have had an art and a drama themed lesson. In art we have created an Ombre watercolour background and then they created a scene using sugar paper. The children thoroughly enjoyed this. One said:
“I have had so much fun with making this.”
We have also had a drama lesson where we have explored moving and acting as our different characters. We took part in some warm up games, created a still image to show our characters and then we created a carousel of freeze frames to show a story. Here are some images of our lesson.

As we have discussed as a whole school and as a year group, World Book Day is an important national event that is celebrated to raise awareness and understanding of the importance for the LOVE of reading & the fundraising to buy books for oversee countries that are less fortunate than ours! Well done to you all for your FANTASTIC effort and your kind donations!
Here are our winners for the Best Costume- I thought we had two visitors from the zoo as they were so realistic!
