  As part of our Readathon. KS2 had the pleasure of being part of a special event hosted by Read for Good. The Juniors had the chance to speak to Cressida Cowell ( the brilliant author behind The How to Train Your Dragon series and Wizards of Once series) about what inspired her to be an author. She also spoke about her love for writing, the importance of doing research and the wonderful things people like about her books. As an extra special treat, Cressida read from her brand new book, Which Way to Anywhere. The Juniors really enjoyed being able to meet one of their favourite authors.

  

• Open the Book: Joseph and his coat of many colours

  Tue 27 Sep 2022

  On Tuesday 26th September, KS2 had the pleasure of the ladies from Open the Book, who teach us all about the bible with some amazing acting. On this occasion, we opened the book on the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. As you can see from the pictures below, KS2 enjoyed acting out the story and threw themselves into their roles. We left the story on a cliff hanger, Joseph was imprisoned and his fate was hanging in the balance... Keep an eye out for our next visit to find out what happens next.

  

• Willow Class Go To Cromford Mills

  Mon 26 Sep 2022

  On Monday 26th September, Willow Class adventured to Cromford Mill for the day. While they were there, they learnt all about why the mill was built, how it worked and what was made in the mill. As you can see from the photos, Willow Class had a great time using the machines to learn how the pumps worked, how goods were transported using pulleys and inside, they had a go with making thread using wool and handcards. Willow Class learnt lots of wonderful things that they can use in their topic back in the classroom.
