Book Week Celebrations 

Last week Year 3 was very lucky to have the opportunity to hear from children's author Ursula Dubosarsky. Children were able to gain an insight into what it is like to be an author and were given the opportunity to ask Ursula questions that they had. It was an exciting morning that was enjoyed by all. 

This week marks Book Week and Miss Outridge and Mrs Croft decided to celebrate with a Wizard of Oz dress up day! Who knows what other famous characters could make an appearance in year 3 this week.
