Lunchtime in the Library

 The library is a popular place at lunchtime. Lego club on Tuesdays and Thursdays is open to all WPS children. The rule is "Play & Pack Away". Sometimes it helps to know that one's creation is being photographed and put on the blog before dismantling it and packing it away :)

Children love to come in to read books, listen to CD books, play Lego and the librarians help out at the issue desk, shelve books and help visitors to find books, make reserves, etc. We're all very grateful for our lovely library!

Reading Fair Boards

After a great deal of creative energy, the Wednesday and Thursday book club groups have finished their Reading Fair boards. We have set them up on tables in Room 18 for viewing. They will be available for viewing at lunch time on Wednesday and Thursday this week.

Well done everyone. Each board is original and they all capture the essence of the book they are depicting.

Painting our reading boards at book club

Painting our boards in the sun

We took advantage of the gorgeous sunshine on Thursday to finish painting our Reading Fair boards. Next step is to glue on the literary elements that we have written about on Pic-Collage and to start decorating the boards. I always look forward to seeing the children's creative ideas coming to life.

Painting while the sun shines

The Y6 book club made the most of the sunshine last week to paint our Reading Fair display boards. Both the Wednesday and the Thursday group have been working on typing up their literary elements using pic-collage on iPads. After the holidays we will finish painting, complete the literary elements and print them out and then the children can work on making their designs eye-catching.

The winning book trailer

After tallying up the online votes and the children's votes, the overall winner of the 2017 Book Trailer Award is .... Star Wars, The Force Awakens! Congratulations boys. Your trailer had much energy and excitement. Well done to all of the year sixes - I am very pleased with the overall quality of the trailers you have produced and I have really enjoyed seeing your creativity at work.
