World Book Day! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿคด๐Ÿฐ

Year 2 had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day. They did lots of activities centered around their author, ‘Mini Grey,’ and her books. These activities included writing the next chapter of ‘Traction Man is Here,’ acting out the circus scene from ‘Biscuit Bear,’ and writing a persuasive letter advocating for planting more trees, inspired by the book ‘The Last Wolf.’

As part of the day’s events, Year 2 also took part in some buddy reading with Year 6 students. They had a great time sharing stories with their older classmates!

On Monday, Miss Bibi led an assembly with the KS1 children to introduce Reading Focus Week.

To celebrate World Book day, Paisley in Mrs Bridgewater’s class made Miss Bibi her very own book! She went down to see Miss Bibi and gave her the book- Miss Bibi was so impressed! She gave Paisley 2 stickers and took a photograph with her.

Thank you for my lovely gift, Paisley!
