On Thursday, Year 6 celebrated World Book Day. We commemorated the occasion by dressing up as characters from our favourite books.

The whole class took part in creating a fantastic World Book Day ‘door’ display, based on the book that we are looking at in our ‘Pathways to Read’ lessons – ‘The Explorer’ by Katherine Rundell.

As this story is based in the Amazon rainforest, Year 6 have been looking at the ‘jungle art’ of Henri Rousseau. The children have studied and imitated his style and methods with their own jungle art.
