Our Autumn Book Fortnight was a great success! The whole school focused on the book ‘Welcome’ by Barroux. The children enjoyed the story and discussed issues such as global warming and immigration. Each class from reception to Year 6 had the opportunity to do a range of activities including art and role play to bring the story alive. They then used this as a stimulus to write a variety of genres including leaflets, posters, speech bubbles, captions and narratives.

Lexi in 3T said "I really loved the book because it made us think about lots of important things like being kind to those in need and the importance of looking after the planet. If we don't stop global warming the ice caps will melt and the poor polar bears won't have anywhere to live!" 

‘I enjoyed the story even though it was a picture book because it had an important message for both children and adults.’ - Hussain 6F
