Bookmark competition with Dorothy Butler Children's Bookshop

At lunchtimes, the children created a wonderful collection of bookmarks. We submitted them to the Dorothy Butler Children's Bookshop bookmark competition. Many schools entered. 

Our very own Naomi won first prize for her age group. Ka Pai!

Thank-you Helen for visiting our school and presenting Naomi with her prize.

Fifi Colston author visit

Fifi Colston wowed us all day long, with stories about her creative childhood, in-depth presentations on illustrating, on researching Torti, on writing, and an interactive session on wearable arts. The day finished with a writing workshop that was top notch! Thank-you Fifi!

History Club

Well done to Daniel and Amy for running a fun History Club on Fridays at lunchtimes. These pics are from the session on famous people in history. Daniel talked about Amelia Earheart. I told the children about Jean Batten. They researched historical characters, drew pictures and shared their findings. We finished with a paper plane flying contest.
