Literacy Week: Dear Zoo

April 01, 2022

This year, Literacy week at Hacton has been a 'roaring' sucess! An assembly full of awe and wonder kicked off the special week with a reading of 'Dear Zoo' and some very special guests acting out the role of each animal that the zoo sent us. 

Throughout the week, our pupils have been immersed into the animal world, learning through animal themed activities, producing some excellent writing, incredible artwork and much more! The library was transformed into a jungle and we even had some real-life reptiles pay us a visit. We learnt about zoos, watched live feeds of some incredible animals in their natural habitats and even held debates on whether animals should be kept in captivity. 

Our week ended with pupils and staff clearly relishing in the opportunity to dress as their favourite animal, filling the day with a joyful energy! Thank you to parents for sending your children to school in such brilliant costumes. We hope you and your family have a very Happy Easter!
