Big Read Week |
||
|
My favourite event during book week would have been when
David Calcutt the poet/playwright visited the school to perform his play
about the animals on earth. He told us how he usually starts to create plays
by writing down notes to give him ideas of how his play would be performed on
stage. Some children even acted out
the play to show everyone how the story would look as a play on stage. Mrs Unsworth told us about his career as a teacher earlier on
in his life. He finished off his visit by ending his story with a cliffhanger and telling the other class the ending so we
could find out the rest of the story from children in another class to hold the suspense a little
longer . Another one of my favorite activities that
took place was when the storyteller also visited the school to read his
stories from different countries around the world. He told us two stories
altogether one from India and the other from Egypt. Later on in the day he
gathered the year 5/6 classes into the hall to talk to us about creating our
own stories built up with words that mean the opposite of each other ,our
stories were about our favorite animal mine being
about a dolphin. He left at half past three and by that time we had enough
ideas to create a story ourself. I liked this
especially because I enjoy writing stories myself in class and out of school
.I think that everyone thoroughly enjoyed this event because his stories
seemed to be quiet amusing .During the week we took part in several sessions
of silent reading and on the last day (Friday) we spent half an hour taking
part in silent reading to finish off the big read week at lower farm school.
