World Book Day - March 07

Fairies, Superman, witches, Cinderella, Robin Hood and even a hobbit were just some of the story characters that we dressed up as to mark World Book Day. Children brought in books they had finished with at home and swapped them for other childrens' books. Mick Manning and Brita Granström came to school to tell us about their work as children's authors and illustrators.

 

My favourite was coming to school dressed up because it felt strange - David

Reception, year 1 and year 2 children listened to Mick and Brita reading their book called 'Yuck!' Then the children asked questions like:

  • How long does it take to write a book?

  • How do you make the writing bold?

  • How many books have you written?

yuck coverI dressed up as Jack Sparrow on Book Day. I liked 'Yuck!' - Declan
viking longship cover Mick and Brita told year 3 and year 4 children about their book called 'Viking Longship' and the children had a go at their own Viking sketches - you can see some of them on here soon so please come back.

 

It was quite weird seeing the teachers dress up. Mrs Hiroz was funny dressed as Bob the Builder - Katy

The best bit was listening to the stories about animals because I am really interested in animals - Jack
