The whole school were book worms today to celebrate World Book Day. There were many activities that the children participated in.
Alba & Izzy organised a second hand book sale as part of their library monitor responsibilities. The children had the opportunity to recycle and reuse by purchasing old book stock for the princely sum of 20p per title. P1-7 enjoyed. We raised £22, which equates to over 100 books purchased for our little school.
All of the children participated in DEAR – Drop Everything and Read. Everyone signed on to their new MyOn online reading accounts and enjoyed reading at least one book. We collectively read 1940 pages in 93 books. Our top three genre selections were longer books, adventure and sports.
P4-7 then took part in ‘Bookbusters’, a retro-style quiz based on the old TV series Blockbusters. The class split into two teams (blue and red) and answered questions on famous books by the letter of their title. The winners were the ones to first reach the other side of the board in a linked chain.
The activities moved on to the children designing their own book cover for their favourite book. This is due in tomorrow, so there is still time to polish the artwork before the winner is judged.
Finally, P4-7 had the challenge of writing the best book review in the class. Children can bring their completed entries to school tomorrow. The winner will receive a copy of ‘The Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book‘ to create their own memoirs for when they are famous.
