Reading Assemblies - The Day the Crayons Quit and The Boy Who Grew Dragons

 



For the KS1 Reading Assembly this week, Miss Myers read the Oliver Jeffers’s classic, The Day the Crayons Quit. Poor Duncan just wants to colour. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only written letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit!


This book features on the Year 1 105 book list, which you can see here




For the KS2 Reading Assembly this week, Miss Bell read an extract from The Boy Who Grew Dragons. When Tomas discovers a strange old tree at the bottom of his grandad's garden, he doesn't think much of it. But he takes the funny fruit from the tree back into the house – and gets the shock and delight of his life when a tiny dragon hatches!

This book features on the Year 3 105 book list, which you can see here
