Harry Potter London Trip
On Wednesday and Thursday forty children travelled to London by coach with Mrs Stott, Mrs Johnston, Mr Spink, Miss Wright and Miss Whiteley.
The group spent two days exploring Ripley’s Believe it or Not!, watching the musical Matilda and visiting The Making of Harry Potter at the Warner Bros. Studios.
An amazing time was had by all including the teachers!
Check out the photos on the Library blog and also on the school website.
Autumn is here!
Next time you are in the library have a look at the Autumn display.
Why not ask Miss Whiteley for an autumn themed story or a book about trees or wildlife for your class to borrow and to find out what is happening to them at this time of year.

Only two more weeks to go!
If you are going on this trip please make sure that you let Miss Whiteley know of any changes to contact or medical information if you did not attend the Matilda film night.
Also you should have all received a kit list if you have not (or have lost it) please collect a new one from Miss Whiteley.
Exciting times!

Cathy Cassidy Visit – CANCELLED!
Unfortunately our trip to see Cathy Cassidy on Friday has been cancelled!
Cathy is no longer able to make it but she will still be hosting a session at the Ilkley Literature Festival.
All the children are extremely disappointed but the organisers are hoping to re-schedule it very soon so fingers crossed!
