Danum Read Aloud Competition

14th March 2024Mrs Graves

After a rigorous round of heats and a highly competitive semi-final, our Read Aloud Finalists really did themselves proud!

Reading the openings from a variety of books, they performed in front of the KS2 children with great confidence and to a very high standard.

It was a very difficult decision to choose a winner but I am very pleased to announce that Johnny Connor in 5M was selected to represent our school at the Doncaster Final later in March at the Danum Museum and Art Gallery.

Good Luck Johnny, I am sure you will be great!

World Book Day – Wonderful Work

13th March 2024Mrs Graves

Well done to all the children who entered the Book in a Box competition. They were all so excellent, we really couldn’t pick a winner, so everyone is going to get a prize – I will be coming round this week so you can choose your prize book!

Thank you for taking part! They are all now proudly displayed in the library area of school, if you want to have a look.

4H World Book Day Funā€¦

11th March 2024Mrs Haycock

4H embraced World Book Day whole heartedly and we had so much fun throughout the day. The live draw along with Phil Shepherd inspired us to imagine our own characters and ideas for the front cover of a book. The finished products are so good I need to have a new wall built somewhere so that I can display all of them! Getting comfy with a cushion seemed to be a favourite part of the day as we read more of our key text: The Last Bear. There really is nothing better than sitting back, relaxing and reading or listening to a great story. Iā€™m sure someone fell asleepā€¦no names mentioned!

Donā€™t forget that your book token can be used for Ā£1 off of a book from our book fair when it arrives!

Dictionary Detectives in 4H

5th March 2024Mrs Graves

We have been so fortunate to receive funding to buy brand new dictionaries throughout school, providing all classes from Year 2 upwards a set of dictionaries and thesauruses – and 4H were the first class to use them!

We were investigating homophones, and they used the dictionaries to research the definitions of the homophones, so they could make sure they had selected the correct one.

Well done 4H!
