This morning the whole school took part in our annual Harvest Festival and Welcome Service. A special mention goes to Fred, who introduced the service and linked all of the elements together. After listening to Louis Armstrong’s ‘Our Wonderful World’, we thought about the idea of diversity. We understand that all of us are unique and this is what makes us special. We enjoyed putting together a film of us interviewing Oak Class children about what they’d like to be when they’re older.
Friday afternoon was the third and final trip of the week, this time to Marlborough Literature Festival. We were invited to the author talk by Abi Elphinstone. http://www.abielphinstone.com All of us were mesmerised by her adventurous tales of wild cats, golden eagles and deep cave diving! We picked up lots of tips for writing stories, including how to get your main character to break a rule early on in your story! We hope to give this a go when we write our first lot of fictional texts.
