Reading Assemblies - This week a tiger came to tea and many of year 1 pupils reached bronze.

This week Miss McClenaghan read the classic picture book "The Tiger Who Came to Tea". The story of Sophie and her extraordinary teatime guest has been loved by millions of children since it was first published more than fifty years ago. The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don't expect to see at the door is a big furry, stripy tiger!
This warm and funny picture book story is perfect for reading aloud, or for small children to read to themselves time and again. 

You will find this book on the year 1 105 book tracker here. 

In KS2 Miss Jennings read "The Bad Begining" which is the first novel of the children's novel series A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. The novel tells the story of three children, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, who become orphans following a fire and are sent to live with Count Olaf, who attempts to steal their inheritance.

Reading Assemblies - This week the children have looked at bodies and heard voices!

On Monday this week Miss Hurrell read The Human Body to our KS1 pupils and discovered the secrets of the human body. Within this book readers can see muscles flex as a football is kicked, watch food travel through the digestive system as an apple is eaten, and take a peek at the skeleton holding a small boy upright while his height is measured. This title can be found on the Reception 105 book tracker.

During the KS2 assembly Miss Munnelly read Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne. In this story we hear four different voices tell their own versions of the same walk in the park. The radically different perspectives give a fascinating depth to this simple story which explores many of the author's key themes, such as alienation, friendship and the bizarre amid the mundane. This book can be found on the 105 reading books year 3 tracker.
