Encouraging a love of great children's literature.
This illustration from the wonderful book On A Magical Do-Nothing Day, Beatrice Alemagne lent itself to a highly practical lesson today.
Children plunged their hands into bowls of mud with roots, seeds, oily spaghetti (‘worms’), plastic insects and stones to get their creative juices flowing – some even volunteered to do it blindfolded!
We look forward to writing poems inspired by the experience tomorrow.
Well done to all of our students in years 5 and 6 who have been avidly reading the 15 books in the longlist of these awards. The votes from all schools have been counted and submitted to Redbridge Library Service and we can now reveal the 5 titles that made the shortlist!
The choices of the Borough as a whole reflected those of Wells’ children who found these five titles equally entertaining and riveting.
The reading will now continue to find an overall winner!
