Dress Up day for Book Week

This week was Bradford School's Book Week.  We had lots of fun events happening.

Everyday a special person read to the whole school.  On Tuesday night we had fish and chip night.  On thursday afternoon we invited our Grandparents in to share some stories with us and today we had a dress up day.  You could dress up as your favourite book character.  

We really enjoyed Book Week.  Gill sold lots of books which means she can buy some more for our library!

Have a look at our dress ups!  Can you see Miss Macdonald dressing up as Little Red Riding Hood?

A lovely Princess Leah!

Look who Princess Leah found!  Her Father!

Pirate songs!

We were on assembly last week and we decided to sing our Pirate Song.  We made hats out of newspaper and sang very well!

Do you think we look fierce?

Stories

We have been learning about narrative writing.

These stories have characters (who), settings (where), a beginning, a middle (where a problem might happen) and and end (where the problem gets fixed).

We used Kidpix to create some pictures to help us plan out our stories.  Here are a few of them.

The mermaid and the witch.

By Lynley

The mermaid and the witch are under the sea.

The witch made a spell of 7 bits of fire so she can get the treasure.

The wizard comes and does a spell to get the treasure back from the witch.

The bridge

by Bethany

There were some people walking on the bridge.

They didn't see that there was a snake behind them.

A knight came to save them.  He killed the snake.  The people said thank you to the knight.

The Alien.

by Courage

The alien was on his planet up in space.

The fireball was going to explode the alien.

The spaceman saved the alien.  He takes the alien up in his spaceship.  The fireball misses the alien.

Book of the Week

This week's book of the week is called Gordon's got a snookie, by Lisa Shanahan.

Miss Little's friend Heather told us that this was a good story and we agree!

The animals at the zoo were really excited because Gordon  the Gorilla was coming.

All the animals laughed at Gordon because he had a snookie.  We felt really sad for Gordon.  

You will have to read the book to find out why Gordon rips his snookie in half and why the other animals end up being friendly to Gordon!

We love this story because it is funny, the pictures are cute and it has a really good storyline.

This term 3 is going to be fun!  Today we get a pedometer each to count how many steps we can do.

We are going to be looking at the Olympics.
