Book Week 2021 - Traditional Tales

Our book week celebrations this year were very different! The whole village rose to the challenge - as we created a ‘Traditional Tale trail’ that could be enjoyed by children in school and those home-learning. Thank you lovely people of Ottershaw! Throughout the week each class explored a different tale, by experiencing cooking, art based activities and exploring the moral issues embedded within each story. At the end of the week the children created their own versions of a well known traditional tale with a twist. Mrs. Hastings and Mrs. Jenkyn enjoyed sharing their favourite Traditional tales at ‘story time’ every afternoon with children in school and at home. On Friday everyone wore their pyjama’s all day so we could all just curl up with a good book . Some looked better than others! We also ran an ‘extreme reading’ competition to see who was reading in the strangest place (within the restrictions of a global pandemic … what a challenge!). Here are the winners.   We will remember this book week for lots of different reasons, but most of all, we will remember how our whole community joined together to share our love of reading and traditional tales with the next generation.

Have a look at what we found in the village on the 'Traditional Tale' trail...…
