The Power of Words – Theme Week

This week, children across the school explored The Power of Words, discovering how language can inspire creativity, kindness and storytelling.

In Stardust Class, the week began with a special Meet the Author session with Emily Lloyd-Gale, where the children learned about being an author, asked thoughtful questions and reflected on how words can make a difference. Inspired by her stories, children created their own ideas for future books.

Throughout the week, the children took part in a wide range of engaging activities, including:

• Creating Word Jars to collect exciting, powerful and kind words

• Making Magic Word Wands and discovering new vocabulary using dictionaries and thesauruses

• Exploring kindness and feelings words through circle time, a Kindness Tree and compliment chains

• Becoming storytellers through small world play, puppet shows and character word clouds

• Celebrating as Word Wizards, writing poems, going on word hunts and sharing their favourite words

Each class contributed to a shared floor book, showcasing written work, artwork, photographs and children’s quotes from the week. Classes have also shared photos and highlights on their individual class pages.

It has been a joyful celebration of language, creativity and the positive impact words can have — we are so proud of the children’s enthusiasm and imagination! ✨📚
