This week we celebrated World Book Day!
At the beginning of the week, Ms Adams asked us for some help. She wrote us a letter and came into our classroom to read it to us. She asked for some help to make her costume – she wanted us to think carefully about our school theme this year – sustainability. She asked if we could use materials that we have in the classroom to help make some of her costume. We loved this challenge and set to work finding lots of orange things quickly!
We had a wonderful time celebrating all things related to books and reading! We had a lovely whole school assembly which was full of colour and creativity. In Reception we had a lot of fun sharing our costumes and talking about our favourite books and characters. We also loved seeing the grown ups at school all dressed up!
During explore time, we made book marks and designed posters about our favourite books and stories. Some of us also brought in our favourite books to share. We had a lot of fun and it has inspired many of us to read a new book. We look forward to hearing all about them!
