Sharks

 We've been getting ready to our trip to Margate by starting to learn about sharks. We've been reading the book Surprising Sharks which is filled with fascinating facts about sharks. 

Did you know basking sharks eat plankton?

What shark facts do you know?

We have also started making models of basking and hammer head sharks. Here are some photos of us using our team work skills to paper maiche our junk models.

Love My Books

Yesterday we had a very successful Love My Books Cafe in Year 1.

We introduced the website: www.lovemybooks.co.uk. It's full of free resources for parents to support them when reading with their children. We especially loved the videos on the website where the children can listen to the stories and the fantastic activities to go alongside each book to make reading FUN! 

Some highlights:

"I got facepaint on my hand and made a mask"

"I make a book with mummy. She did good drawing"

 Let us know what activities you try at home! 

"When I got home I went on Love My Books and I watched 'Shhh We Have a Plan.' I liked listening to the story at home, it was funny when he tried to catch the bird!"
