Class 2

Hannah Shaw at work...

This week we have had our annual 'book week'. The book fair has been and will hopefully have earned enough commission for each class to have some new books! We also had a visit from local author and illustrator Hannah Shaw who worked with each class throughout the day. In class 2 she helped us create a special character for our stories. That was the other focus of the week, writing a story to go in our 'writing journeys' and also to be published in a school book! Our writing journeys are the special books that we write in twice a year and they show our progression (writing jouurney) through school. The children get to take them home in year 6.

On Wednesday we went for an autumn walk to give us ideas for our stories. We were so lucky with the weather and the children were brilliant - we had very few complaints about the hills as we did venture down into the valley!!! The walk must have helped as the children spent all afternoon on Wednesday writing and still wanted more time!

Another aspect of the week was a competition to design a front cover for our book. Hannah Shaw is going to judge our attempts next week so watch this space!

Also this week we welcomed Mrs Sibley who will be working mainly in Class 2:)
