Thank you @hgs_science for two fantastic science workshops this morning!

We cannot wait to bring our other two classes in two weeks.

The maggots behaved themselves and making our own indicator was great fun 🧪

@MrsHowes2 @hgs_science @PrimaryWestern @56western @RKLTPeople It was such a wonderful morning. I loved being back in a Science lab again and being able to support a new generation of scientists under the guidance of such fabulous and enthusiastic @StemHGS teachers🧑‍🔬

One of our Year 5 boys has chosen to continue reading The Nowhere Emporium. He told me this morning, “This is probably the first book I’ve ever really enjoyed. My mum’s ordered me the other two as well.” @RossAuthor @PrimaryWestern @56western #RKLTPeople #LoveReading #BookTwitter

Y5 have been reading #TheNowhereEmporium this week; it’s so good that I’ve brought it home to finish reading it! Activities included character analysis, prediction of subsequent events and the children using their imaginations to add to The Book of Wonders. @56western #rkltpeople

@ImaginedThings One of the girls in our class proudly showed me her copy of Skandar, purchased from yourselves, last week. She’s nearly finished (she reads at every opportunity in the classroom) and it sounds like she’ll be back for more from that series!

These four avid readers are devouring the #warriorcats books by #erinhunter, choosing to read them at every opportunity in class. I love that they have dressed up as their favourite characters for #worldbookday. @PrimaryWestern #RKLTPeople

@MrsHowes2 @ImaginedThings @WorldBookDayUK @PrimaryWestern What a treat to have Imagined Things in school and to see the children enthusiastically choosing their new books and chatting to Debbie & Georgia. I loved how many of the children immediately opened their books to start reading once they’d made their choice 💕📚

SCRABBLEGRAM* OF THE DAY
The Planets

This is a repeat from a few months back, but 2/18 is Pluto Day, on the anniversary of its discovery in 1930...and it'll always be a planet to me. 🌚

I'll post a new celestial bonus entry later today.

*Uses all 100 Scrabble tiles.

After learning how The Antarctica Treaty protects this unique continent, @56western wrote persuasive letters to the PM @RishiSunak outlining why they believe the treaty should be extended past the 2041 expiration date. @2041Schools #RKLTPeople

A fantastic morning researching the fallen soldiers of WW1 after whom the @PrimaryWestern school houses are named. Fabulous resources were made available to us by @nycclibraries in Harrogate, including original newspapers, microfilm and the internet. #RKLTPeople @56western

When you have the best class of children (and parents) 💕 What lovely end of year gifts, including book vouchers and edibles. Perfect for me! I’ve already made good use of one of the book vouchers to purchase my first summer read ⬇️

[Kate 🐝🐝 @KateBB76]

So excited to collect #TheSpiritEngineer by @AJWestAuthor on publication day! Can't wait to read it once I've managed to stop staring at the beautiful, shiny front cover. Book expertly modelled, outside my favourite shop, by fab bookseller Debbie.

Thought for the day, from a library Twitter elf who spent years thinking that 'picturesque' was pronounced 'pictureskew'. Have a good Monday, all!
