N'hamptonshire

A typical week in Northamptonshire 

Week beginning 22.4.24

This week, we have read some more of The Wild Robot and have done our own Readers Theatre. In groups, we performed a paragraph each of a chapter, carefully considering our use of sound, tone, props and movement. We were very successful in captivating our audience and using our bodies and voices to make noises to support our storytelling. 
 

On Wednesday, we very excitingly had a forest school session.
