World Book Day
Our Year 5 and 6 students made us all very proud on World Book Day this year. The children spent time with our early years students having fun and supporting them with their reading as part of our school wide World Book Day activities. Our year 5 and 6 children helped to make reading fun and interesting for the younger children and their involvement helps to embed a love of reading across the school, in line with our Reading for Pleasure programme. If you would like to know to know more about Reading for Pleasure and find some recommended reading for children please visit the Reading for Pleasure area on the school website Caistor C of E and Methodist Primary School - Caistor Primary Loves Reading.
Bulb planting.
We planted bulbs last spring and we are looking forward to seeing them bloom again this year.

Becoming secondary school ready.
Year 5 and 6 Author Virtual Session
Maple and Beech classes were lucky enough to join in with an online virutal author session, with the author of 'South Asian Folktales, Myths and Legends', Sarah Shaffi. We have been looking at myths and legends as part of our English, particularly the Anglo Saxon legend, Beowulf, so thought it would be interesting to look at some more myths and legends from other cultures. We have also been studying how other cultures express their beliefs through the arts, in RE.
We got chance to listen to one of her stories, and she answered lots of questions about how myths and folktales are passed down verbally through time, until they are eventually recorded in writing.
New Book Arrival
Thanks to a generous donation from Joseph Nickerson Charitable Foundation, we have been lucky enough to purchase some new resources for our fabulous new library space. First up, we have been able to update our computing, history and maths resources. The children are very excited to be able to start reading the new books.
