Snap Shot of the Week

We have been looking at endoskeletons and exoskeletons in Science this week and the children have made some fantastic observational drawings and connections between their knowledge of the animal and its bones. 

Year 3

Book of the Month

I

Every month in Year 6, Mr Bradford buys a new book to share with the class.  After reading the first chapter, any children who would like to borrow the book get their names put in a hat and the winner gets to read the book first.  

The month’s book is Safiyyah’s War by Hiba Noor Khan.  Focussing on the experiences of a small group of individuals, Safiyyah’s story shines a spotlight on an under-recognised pocket of resistance from World War II when hundreds of Jews were led to safety via underground passages from the Grand Mosque in Paris.

Bella was the lucky recipient of the book this month – we hope you enjoy it!

Mr Bradford selects his books from Book Trust’s Great Books Guide.  It has some great suggestions of books for all ages from 4 all the way to 11+.  You can find the guide here:
