We had an amazing time at the Children's Book Awards at the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield. We met many authors and illustrators who had been short-listed for an award. They talked about where they found their inspiration and how important it is to love reading. They signed our copies of the short-listed books and recorded messages for the younger children in school.

We had lunch in the Winter Gardens, and then we visited the Millennium Gallery. We enjoyed looking at the metal and silverware on display as we had learnt about the significance of these items from our previous topic.

The children learnt harvest hymns and read out readings and prayers during our harvest celebration in Litton church. Thank you for all of your generous donations and supporting to our harvest festival. All our donations will be sent to the High Peak food bank to be used in the wider community.

We had a great Wakes week. The children performed country dancing, maypole dancing and morris men/ women dancing to large audiences in the sunshine and rain! Thank you to everyone who supported this week during the performances and in the village hall.
