Another huge well done to some of the children in Mrs Fawkes’ English group also who have worked so hard on their reading this half term and achieved their points target on Accelerated Reader. Well done everyone!
Check out some of the amazing newspaper articles Y6 have written this week. The Y6 children have loved reading Macbeth this half term and have completed some fantastic pieces of writing including diary entries, letters, play scripts, characters descriptions and even their own version of the witches’ poem and chant.
Congratulations Lily (Y6D) who is now a Word Millionaire. We are so proud of Lily’s wonderful achievement. Lily loves reading and this year she has developed a love for the Harry Potter novels, reading all 7 novels in the space of a few months. She is now reading the “His Dark Materials” series by Philip Pullman. Well done Lily! 
Congratulations to James in Y5F for reading over half a million words on Accelerated Reader. James is very proud of his achievement and is eager to become a Word Millionaire this year.
This half term, Year 3 are focusing on a gripping story about friendship, loyalty and betrayal.
On Friday our teachers stepped into the role of the character Magpie. We all stepped into the shoes of Dog and had to coax her to come out of the cave. To do this, we had to emphasise with Magpie and try to understand why she would want to hide away in the cave and sink into blackness. We came up with lots of convincing arguments and expressed those best we could through role play by speaking clearly and calmly.
On World Book Day we created book profiles of authors who have written series of books. These are going to be displayed in our Accelerated Reader library to promote some of our favourite authors to children who may not have discovered them yet.
We had a great day celebrating World Book Day too. Check out our costumes!
We had a wonderful time last week celebrating World Book Day at Harton Primary School. The children made such an effort with their costumes and we had a great day, completing lots of exciting reading and book-related activities.
Y3 have had a fantastic day reading lots of our favourite books and engaging in lots of fun book day activities! Take a look at our superb costumes of our favourite book characters!
Congratulations to Lucy in Y5L. She has become Y5’s second Half Millionaire, reading over 500,000 words this academic year. Well done Lucy.
Congratulations to children in Mrs Fawkes’ English class who achieved their Points Target on Accelerated Reader last half term. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and motivation towards reaching their target.
