On Wednesday, we celebrated ‘World Book Day’ in the Junior school.
Children had been given the opportunity to share examples of their ‘extreme reading’ over the holiday period and a display of photographs has been put up near the library showing some very interesting ways and places to read!
We have very imaginative children in our school and some of them brought in story characters they had made using vegetable or blown eggs and we had fun guessing the stories they came from as some were more obvious than others!
Different year groups celebrated the day in a variety of ways.
In Reception, children enjoyed listening to a special visitor who shared books with them before they made their own books; writing stories and drawing pictures.
Year 3 were ‘Dropping and Reading’ throughout the day and Year 6 children created a list of their favourite books that they would recommend to others to read.
Year 1 children created their own story characters using fruits and vegetables after reading ‘Supertato’ and thought of many super adjectives to describe super powers.
All year groups enjoyed looking at and talking about books and it was a busy day of reading in all areas of the curriculum.
Hopefully, your children will be inspired to read more and more and more and more!
