Alexis Deacon - year 1 author visit
Fri 08 Nov 2019Year 1 have been using texts by Alexis Deacon to support their learning with reading and writing. Alexis visited us on Friday 8th November to share his expertise when illustrating picture books. He shared two of his stories with the children, Croc and Bird and A Place called Home. Alexis demonstrated how to read stories aloud in an interesting way and used different voices and actions to bring his stories alive.
In lessons year 1 have been using Alexis Deacon’s most famous text Beegu to learn all about feelings, characters and making inferences from the pictures. Alexis talked about writing the story and how he created the illustrations to go with the story. He taught the children how to use the letters of the alphabet to turn them into alien characters. They then used capital letters and lower case letters to add eyes, legs and arms to create their own aliens, naming them using their phonic skills.
When the children finished creating the alien characters they used them to create a short story of their own.

The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were happy with their own free copy of the book!

Wed 06 Nov 2019PGL year 5 and 6 trip 23.10.19 – 25.10.19
What a fantastic few days away!
The children attempted a variety of activities during this stay which included: Kayaking, Archery, climbing wall, giant swing, problem solving, fencing and sensory trail. It was lovely to see how kind and supportive the children were to each other and how they encouraged others to conquer their nerves.
All adults who went on the trip are extremely proud of all the children.
Well done everyone, and I hope that everyone rested over the half term.
