The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares /Hooke Court class rooms / transition activities

 

Today, year 4 had a visit from the Bank of Dreams and Nightmares team. They delivered a dynamic, inspiring and creative workshop with the children. The whole class worked together to create a collaborative story that ended on a cliffhanger, whilst virtually an illustrator created illustrations to support the story.  The children then worked independently, with the support of some experienced writers, to create their own unique ending to this story. Next week each child will receive printed copies of their collaborative story and they will then add their own ending before being able to take the book home to keep. 

It was a wonderful morning of creativity and the children were certainly engaged. 

Hooke court room allocations

I will be asking the children to consider who they might light to share a room with when we go to Hooke Court. Whilst I can't guarantee they will be with the children they have chosen, I will certainly take their preferences into consideration. 

Middle school transition activities

Just a quick overview of some of the transition activities we have coming up for children going to DMS or St Osmund's in September. These activities will be a great opportunity for your child to ask any questions they may have and feel prepared for transfer day and September.  

Monday 19th June - Mrs Hudson will be spending an hour or so with the children to get to know them. 

27th June, 3rd and 4th July - Meet the tutor days at St Osmund's

3rd July - Assembly and meet and greet session with Mrs Ray and Mrs Pluck from DMS. 

4th July - DMS writing session (at POW)

6th July -Transfer day

Finally, thank you for sending in hats and drink bottles. They really are vital in this hot weather. 

Kind regards,

Ms Browne, Mr MacBean, Miss Carney and the year 4 team
