The children loved the chance to bring in and share their all time favourite book with their peers.
During the day we took part in a book swap, reading speed dating, drop everything and read - where ever was most unusual or comfortable! We also wrote a class book by generating an Egyptian themed plot, giving out parts for children to write and then compiled it for a later read.
To celebrate World Book Day children had the chance to come into school dressed as their favourite book character or even in their PJ's!
The day included drop everything and read (where ever you like), a chance to go book speed dating with unknown texts and a fantastic visit from a footballer author.
Year 4 enjoyed an afternoon of needlework that left everyone in stiches! First of all, a huge thank you to all parents and relatives who were able to come and join us, we truly could not have done this without you!
The children, although lacking in confidence to begin with, showed true resilience and determination throughout the afternoon. They learnt how to thread a needle, tie a knot and how to sew using a running stitch and a back stitch. Some even managed to use these skills to sew Egyptian hieroglyphics!
Every single child came away feeling proud of their sewing achievements, as were we. A seamless but busy afternoon!
