Lunchtime library club 

Last week, our lunchtime Library Club children enjoyed some creative colouring for Elmer day. Miss Flower will be using everyone's artwork to create her new display board when we come back after half term!

Book of the Week

The Book of the Week last week was Greta and the Giants by Zoe Tucker. Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest, they chopped down trees to make houses. Then they chopped down more trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea…

Chatterbooks sessions

Last week, library Chatterbooks groups continued with the funny book, Alan's Big Scary Teeth. Everyone got very creative, producing some great versions of Alan!

105 Books To Read Before You Leave Broadford

If you have not already seen it, please read the separate Library blog post all about our 105 Books To Read Before You Leave Broadford here.

Urgent request - Returning borrowed library books

We have so many lovely books in our library but, unfortunately, many of them get borrowed by a child and then never returned to the library. Please can you check at home to see if you have any Broadford library books (stamped inside/Broadford logo attached). If you do, please pass them to your child to return to the library asap, where our Book Monster is waiting to eat them! Thank you.

Year 2 Spinebreakers have a Teddy Bears Reading Picnic!

 

Yesterday morning, our Year 2 Spinebreakers had a wonderful time taking part in a Teddy Bears Reading Picnic!

First, they all had the exciting task of choosing which cuddly toy they would be taking to the picnic, and which bear-themed book they would like to read.

 Once they had chosen their picnic friends and books, Miss Flower started the fun by reading everyone the funny Teddy Bears Picnic story.

Then, everyone quietly read their book aloud to their cuddly toy.

Next, everyone chose some bear colouring sheets and produced some wonderful artwork.

Miss Flower then read another book to the group while everyone enjoyed a yummy sweet treat and drink to end the perfect Teddy Bears Reading Picnic!

Back in the library, the Spinebreakers were all awarded special certificates for taking part - everyone said they had the best time!

For the KS1 Reading Assembly this week, Miss Hines read Look Up! Rocket is a hilarious, science-mad chatterbox - she's going to be the greatest astronaut, star-catcher, space-traveller that has ever lived!

For the KS2 Reading Assembly this week, Mrs Fayefunmi read some of Occupation and Resistance. How did people live under occupation in World War Two? What happened after the war was over? Find the answers to these and other questions in this fascinating non-fiction book.
