      Yesterday, the school was filled with the joy of books!  Throughout the day, the children celebrated reading by 
      exploring their favourite stories, thinking about memorable characters and the exciting events that  bring books to life.

We also listened to their different calls so that we could identify the birds even if we couldn't see them. We then went out into our school grounds to identify and classify the birds that we could see and marked them onto our recording sheets.
