What a fantastic start to the new school year 5DJ have had! It has been lovely to see the children settling back into school routines, reconnecting with friends and getting ready for all the exciting learning ahead.

This week, 5DJ have spent some time refamiliarising themselves with our school library. We revisited how the library is organised and explored the different sections and genres available. We also talked about how to choose books that interest us and how we can make the most of our library time. It has been wonderful to see so much enthusiasm for reading, with lots of children already excited about finding their next book!

5DJ have also started their new Talk for Writing unit based on the story of King Midas. We have been introduced to the story and have begun exploring the characters, vocabulary and key events. The children have been thinking carefully about what makes a great story and have already started collecting some fantastic vocabulary and ideas
