Wild Things create a rumpus in our classroom!

The furniture was turned upside down and all manner of mess was made!

There were wild footprints all over the floor! We decided to make paper masks to scare those wild things away and during DEAR (drop everything and read) we put them on just in case!

Literacy Week sees our Author in Residence - Stu Duval

Our first session was on writing and making stories from story telling. Stu told us the story of Rat Island which he told his sons and then wrote a book about it. 

Stu also showed us how he draws his illustrations with chalk pastels and drew a stunning picture of Skull Island!

In his second session he demonstrated cartooning to us all and had us spellbound as he directed quite simply how to create pictures from lines and squiggles!

Puss in Boots - Pet Detective! comes to Sunnyhills School!

Miss Coffer has always been such a Bieber fan! Luckily for her there was a Baby Bearber in the play!

Puss tries to get to the bottom of the mystery!

He's behind you!! 

All ends happily ever after!
