As it is almost Christmas, Year 3 have begun reading a new book to get us feeling all festive. It is a brilliant story about a little boy who really wants a dinosaur for Christmas. It is written by Author Tom Fletcher and it is called The Christmasaurus! Tom Fletcher has written lots of other books about dinosaurs too and they are VERY funny, the children from Year 3 will happily tell you about The Dinosaur That Pooped A Planet.
On Friday the 2nd of December, author Tom Fletcher teamed up with Puffin Virtually Live and did a webcast all about The Christmasaurus. Year 3 watched whilst we crafted some items to decorate our classroom and we even thought carefully and submitted a question for the webcast. We learnt a lot about the characters in the story, the process of writing the book and designing and drawing the characters. During Golden Time lots of the children really enjoyed putting their new drawing skils they learnt into practice by drawing the characters.

Special Delivery
Making our Friday even more magical was the amazing special delivery we recieved. When we came back after lunch we found a box with a North Pole delivery stamp on the front! Excitedly, Year 3 opened the box and slowly unpacked the decorations Father Christmas had sent for us, and, tangled up amongst the tinsel was Tiny the elf! He has come to watch over our class and join in our learning in the run up to Christmas, we are very lucky.
