Last week we joined Read. Holmfirth to hear author John Kane read us his fantastic, funny book โWhat is Black and white. We loved listening to the story and sending him our predictions as to what might happen next. Highly recommend the book, here are our penguins! #MelthamLit
Thank you Read. Holmfirth for the fantastic author event. In FS we love the stories The Lion Inside and The Squirrels Who Squabbled so it was fantastic seeing the author Rachel Bright and hearing her new book Snail in Space. We hope you like our snails! ๐ #MelthamLit

Our topic this half term is fantasy. We have read lots of fantasy stories and discussed characters, setting, the problem and solution. We wrote our own imaginative story plans and these are some of our finished pieces. We are so proud of ourselves! #MelthamLit #Melthamstandout
Dough disco is a fun way for us to develop our fine motor skills in preparation for writing. We can pinch, roll, splat and squeeze our dough. Do try this at home! #melthamPD #melthamLit
