We’ve had a super day celebrating World Book Day, well done to all our children, families and staff who have gone to great effort with costumes – fabulously creative!
Above are some pictures of our character groups. Below are some photos from our morning parade in the hall, where children clapped and cheered, celebrating the creative costumes and fond memories of wonderful characters.
To celebrate the joy of reading we have encompassed the theme of ‘read your way’ by asking children to complete a feather to show where books can take them, for example from a magical journey of wonder under the sea or through the pages of The Far Away Tree to the corridors of Hogwarts; reading can take us all to interesting places sparking our imagination. We will display our feathers as a set of wings to symbolise a journey and share some of the captions around school.
“Books take me to a world of imagination like you never expected, where dreams come true and stories come to life” Charlotte, Y4
“Books take me to an amazing place of wonder” Leo, Y4
“Books take me to a city full of laughs” Arthur C Y3
We also had great fun with an intriguing competition this morning – The Masked Reader! But this wasn’t a singing competition like its partner the Masked Singer, no, this was a reading competition! Children had to guess which staff member was behind the mask and which story they were reading. Brilliant fun was had by all. Thank you to the staff for their efforts in making the video clips, they were fantastic to watch. Huge thanks to Mrs Bessant, our English lead, for her organisation of the creative assemblies today, showing us that reading most certainly is for pleasure!
Our children also participated in a book swap within their classes. Each child brought a book to swap so they could take a new one home. Some classes did this as a book cafe, some enjoyed some shared reading and some created a free book shop.
