Specialist Showcase
Discovery Centre
Our Book of the week continues to create great interest and our recently featured books were “Pokemon super deluxe essential handbook” which gives stats and facts on over 800 characters, and the cute book “Underwater puppies” / by Seth Castell. This is a companion book to “Underwater dogs” - a very popular title in the DC. In this latest book there are more than 80 photographs of underwater puppies - that is puppies swimming. For each dog their name, breed and age is included alongside the photo. It makes for fun reading.
To make our picture fiction area more inviting there is a jungle theme going on at present, complete with books about jungle animals. It certainly has brightened up this space.
We kicked off our lunchtime activities this week with fairy wands and wizard hats being the order of the day. The students had lots of fun making these, and there were many colourful creations. I hope they didn’t go home and cast too many spells!
Happy reading,
Mrs. Johnson

Performing Arts
This term the Year Three children are using the idea of a circus through which to study dance. In the pictures they are working with their partner to create a clown dance routine. We talked about using counts of 8 to help organise ideas and choreographing moves that the audience could clearly identify with clowns.
