This week we have been exploring a variety of books for World Book Day. We focussed on two stories throughout the week; Jack and the Beanstalk and James and the Giant Peach. We took part in lots of fun activities around these two books. 

On World Book Day we came in dressed as our favourite characters and talked about why we cam dressed as that character.

This week we have been learning about Shamrocks. We learned about St.Patricks Day and why we celebrate this day. We also learned about what the Shamrock symbolises. We coloured our own shamrocks and made our own St.Patricks Day paper chain.

On St.Patricks Day we created our own hats, did some dancing and enjoyed a cake for our afternoon snack. We then took part in a Virtual Collective Worship from Father O'Shea.
