Book Bags

Each class has three ‘Book Bags’.

One is for fiction books, one for non-fiction books and one is a poetry box.

Each box has a quality text linked to learning in class (either current learning or to reinforce ‘sticky learning’), our mascot, a small art sketch book and art materials as well as a delicious hot chocolate to enjoy whilst snuggling up to read.

The children are challenged to produce art work linked to the book.

This could be their favourite part, the setting, a character that they love, fascinating facts that they have found…anything at all!

The children are so excited to take these boxes home and produce great pieces of work which they then share with their peers.

We love these boxes!
