Thank you to all parents and children who made World Book Day such a success. It was wonderful to see so many inventive and fun costumes worn with pride, and to hear lots of excited chatter about favourite books.
The children enjoyed our staff assembly of The Day the Crayons Came Home – with a special mention to Mrs Bastin and Mrs T as they took turns reading their postcard, which was very funny.
The Book Swap was a triumph and hopefully will become a yearly event on World Book day, as the children really got stuck in choosing a new book or books to take home.
Thank you to our Librarians, especially Eva, Esrah and Harry who put in so much effort into making the swap a success and for giving up so many of their lunchtimes to set up The Library Club, which will now run weekly, Monday lunchtimes.
In Cherry the children used ‘Journey’ as a starting point for their ideas and imagined what would be hidden behind their secret door They created some wonderfully descriptive sentences along with some careful illustrations.
In Willow we used the Willow Pattern Plate as a starting point for telling stories and then decorated our own plates ready to retell our own. The book scavenger hunt was trickier than expected as the children searched for exciting writing and detailed descriptions in many different genres of books.
On Friday, it was fabulous to see the children taking the opportunity to share their love of reading with each other.
