Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover! Crew White Celebrates World Book Day
Today, Crew White celebrated World Book Day with a fun book discovery activity designed to spark curiosity about reading. Students began by silently exploring eight different books placed around the room, judging their first impressions based on the covers. After discussing what caught their attention, students read a selection of blurbs, noted interesting details and questions on post-its, and reconsidered their choices. To finish, we held a lively Book Tournament, where the eight books competed in a class vote until one Crew White Champion Book was crowned — which we’ll now begin reading together in class.
World Book Day Crew Frost
World Book Day was such a fun experience for the children. We loved seeing everyone in their wonderful costumes, and a big thank you to all the parents for spending the time and effort preparing the children’s fantastic outfits.
During our session today, the children enjoyed developing their cutting skills as they made their own Wizard of Oz puppets. They carefully used scissors and materials to create their characters, showing great focus and creativity.
The children also used their fine motor skills to draw pictures of Elphaba and Glinda, taking time to add their own details and colours. It was lovely to see their imagination come to life through their drawings and puppet creations.
What a wonderful day celebrating books and stories together.
Well done, Crew Frost!

Reading Awards
Well done to Kai, Molly, Lily-Rose and Archie on their latest reading awards!
Beautiful handwriting
In today’s handwriting lesson we looked at ‘the misfits’. I was blown away with how the children showed great listening skills during the input and then showcased their beautiful work by producing this handwriting. They all worked extremely hard and this really does show! Great work Crew Ramsey keep it up 🙂
Fun in the Sun
The children have really enjoyed using the new equipment in the EYFS provision. They explored many of the areas outside but the favourites had to be the slide, mud kitchen and using the exciting equipment in the water area. The children worked together to fill tubes and showed great team work and resilience when things didn’t quite go to plan! What a great morning they had 🙂
From Dorothy to the Lion: Celebrating World Book Day in Costume
Here are some of Crew McLoughlin who had lots of fun dressing up for World Book Day. They came to school in a variety of creative costumes inspired by their favourite book characters. It was great to see everyone celebrating reading and bringing their favourite stories to life.
World Book Day Crew!
This morning, Crew McLoughlin started by watching a short summary of The Wizard of Oz, which helped us think about the idea of courage and how different characters show bravery in their own ways. After the video, each table was given a different question related to courage and the characters in the story. Then as a class we then discussed our question and shared our thoughts with each other.
Next, we thought about someone in our own lives – someone in our family, crew, or school – who has recently shown courage. We then had to write that person a postcard praising them for being brave and explaining why their actions mattered. After debriefing, some students shared their postcards with the class.
World Book Day in Crew Ramsay!
We watched a video of Dorothy seeing colour for the first time in Oz and then created some inspired drawings. The children were given autonomy to create whatever they wanted with the theme, ‘the colours of Oz.’ Here they are enjoying some creative literary time!
