With most of the year six children away at Thurston, a small group of would be authors created something amazing this week!

Their only instruction was ‘make a book for your reception buddies.’  From here the children researched picture books, counted pages and words and wrote the story themselves.  Next comes the clever part.  I fully expected them to use paper and felt tips, perhaps using word processing for the text, but no, these are the children of a modern Bede Burn!

Out came the iPads and Book creator was swiftly opened!  With no help from any adult, the children organised themselves into task forces, took photographs of the reception children to go into the book, recorded sounds and created a front cover.

After assembly this morning they read their finished book to the reception class.  As you can see from the photographs, everyone had an amazing time and the youngest children in our school thought that the oldest ones were very clever indeed.

A brilliant effort from the year six children, well done!
