World Book Day!

Our Sustainable Celebration of World Book Day 📚🌍

This year our school celebrated World Book Day with a special theme: sustainability. We thought about how we can enjoy books while also looking after our planet. It was a day full of creativity, sharing stories, and showing how small choices can make a big difference.

Sustainable Costumes 👗♻️

Instead of buying new outfits, everyone was encouraged to make their costumes by hand or borrow them. Some children used clothes they already had at home, while others made amazing costumes using recycled materials. It was fantastic to see so many creative ideas while helping to reduce waste.

Sharing Our Favourite Books 📖

Children brought in books from home to share with their friends. We spent time talking about the stories we love and recommending them to others. It was a great way to discover new books and celebrate reading together.

Playground Chalk Posters 🎨

We also made sustainability posters outside on the playground using chalk. Using chalk meant our artwork was fun and colourful but also temporary and environmentally friendly. The playground was filled with drawings and messages about caring for the Earth.

Whole School Assembly and Costume Parade 🎉

One of the highlights of the day was our whole school assembly and parade. Everyone had the chance to walk around and show their costumes. It was wonderful to see so many book characters come to life!

Guided Reading in Year Two 🏴‍☠️🐶

During guided reading, Year Two enjoyed the story Pirate Pug by Laura James. We talked about the characters and enjoyed the funny adventures in the story.

To make the day even more special, the Year Two teachers dressed up as characters from books written by Laura James. She is actually the auntie of a special little girl in Heron Class, which made the connection to the author even more exciting for everyone!

At the end of the day we also had a surprise reader!
