I continue to be impressed with the students at Shanghai Rego. Three weeks ago I asked my Library monitors group to perform a play version of "The Gruffalo" for our youngest students in Foundation and Key Stage 1. They willingly took on the challenge and were enthusiastic about performing for the rest of the school when I sprung that on them yesterday.
Today, our lead character, "Mouse" was sick and once again the others stepped up and agreed to swap roles around and enlist help from another student to make the play happen. They were magnificent! All they had was a quick run through and they performed twice today. Once for Y3 and 4 and once for the original audience. They will get one more chance next Monday for the oldest students in Y5 and 6 and I am sure this will be equally impressive.
Today was hectic in the extreme. As well as our two performances, there were book marks to laminate, Scholastic orders to distribute and all the vendors arrived at once for the Book Fair and all wanted more tables. We have already cleared both art rooms and half the Library so that may have to be enough!
The selection looks superb! Different types from each supplier, which is just what I hoped for. Prices are also lower than I expected so hopefully the kids will get more than they expected for their money.

Hi,
Am just in the beginnings of planning for our book week coming up in Ma, have managed to get a team together to help with it - interested in your "Favourite teacher" activity - would love to know more ;-)
Hi Dianne,
Hope you are feeling better! I got my teachers to choose their favourite children's book, either one they liked to teach with or one they liked as a child. I then put up pics of the book and clues as to which teacher had chosen it along with a gallery of the teachers involved. The kids had to try and match them up. So far I have 3 Y5s with 23 out of 25 right, will have to do a lucky draw for the winner!
