Stages 2 and 3 continued their study of shortlisted Book Week texts. Students used toy soldiers, lego and printed backdrops to create their own tableaux, then photographed and edited them on iPads. @MountOusley @TiffanySinton #everyonecancreate

“Three was thankful for everything.” Students responded to this Book Week book by making origami gratitude boxes to fill with our own thankful messages. #PlayMakeCreate @MountOusley @paulajamieson

We're finally starting to use our library again, so we thought it was time for a bit of a publicity campaign to remind everyone how cool it is! Here is the first of our ads, made by two year 5 students. @MountOusley @TiffanySinton
