Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School

Book Week 2017

The week got off to a great start with a whole school assembly led by the author Pippa Goodhart.  Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 had an inspiring workshop with the author Pippa Goodhart.   She read aloud some of her books, discussed the power and endless possibilities of our imaginations and they even made up a new Winnie the Witch story together. They ended the session by asking lots of interesting questions.

Key Stage 2 had an engaging assembly as well as a workshop with Tasmin Cooke.  The children were taken on a dynamic adventure where they loved exploring and creating different characters. Its already had a positive effect on their creative writing and left them oozing with enthusiasm to write more! 

On Wednesday the children enjoyed sharing books with friends and family.  Then on Friday morning, they signed up to listen to a teacher's favourite story.

Throughout the week some children took part in a book swap where they brought in books from home that they didn't want anymore and swapped it for a new book!

The children have also been very busy creating new displays for our school library.

The children ended the week with story telling in Kabalat Shabbat and Oneg Shabbat.
