BINGO!!!!
On Wednesdays after school Miss Whiteley is running a Book Club for children in Year 5 and Year 6.
At our very first meeting the children decided who would like to participate in the Leeds Book Awards and who wanted to work on a project.
Seven children decided that they wanted to sign up for the Leeds Book Awards and chose the first book to read while the other four children decided that they would like to create their own graphic novel. They looked through comics and graphic novels in the library for inspiration and then started to plan their own.
The second half of the meeting was spent playing a game of guess who’s book.

What is a Free Little Library?
The purpose of a Free Little Library is to encourage and promote reading by providing the local community with access to books.
How do I use the Free Little Library?
The Free Little Library is a book exchange where people can borrow a book, take one or leave suitable books (in good condition) for others to enjoy.
When using it please ensure that you are supervising your child/ren.
Please look after our Free Little Library, after use make sure that the door is closed and if it is a windy day please make sure the catch is in place.
If you have any questions regarding the Free Little Library please contact Miss Whiteley.
While Year 6 were enjoying using the Library this afternoon Liam (Year 2) asked if he could share his book with Shakirah.
This week (on Monday and on Tuesday) Year 6 children had the opportunity to visit Moor Allerton Library.
First the children learnt a little about Leeds during World World II and then participated in three activities. Afterwards they browse and chose a book each.
Looking at books and a map of Leeds that was in the German’s possession.
What would you take in your suitcase?

Ramtin was so inspired by Tom Palmer’s book Arnistice Runner and decided to draw his own book cover.
Today, 53 Children from KS1 and KS2 visited the Nick Sharratt Exhibition, Pirates, Pants and Wellyphants at Central Library. The children explored the exhibition and attended a workshop based on the exhibition.

The children thoroughly enjoyed their day at Central Library and the Leeds Art Gallery.
In school we have been learning a little about World War I and why we wear poppies and hold a minutes silence on 11th November.
If you would like to find out more about World War I we have a large number of non-fiction (information) books and also lots of fiction (story) books. Visit the Library to find out more.
