This year, we had an exciting book week where we be-
gan to delve into picture books, looking at how stories
can be told in many different ways, and how authors
and artists often use pictures to hide meaning. This
helped us look more at inference - how the writer used
the picture to suggest or imply details about the charac-
ters and events.

We had an exciting door decoration day where pu-
pils were asked to design and create a classroom door
connected to their picture book in one day. Doors were
judged based upon how well connected their doors
were to their books, how well they had used recycled
materials and how independently they had worked.

We had lots of parents in to read to us, and teachers
moved around the school to read to different classes
also. We finished the week with World Book Day where
many of the children had come dressed as characters
and items from their picture books - we even had a
boat!. It was wonderful to see all the creativity and the
excitement for books generated by this week and look
forward to seeing this continue throughout the rest of
the school year.
