Literacy: World Book Day

On Friday the school had a fun filled day with lots of activities focusing on World Book Day. The P2/3 pupils had a great day and there were lots of smiles and enthusiasm all round throughout the activities.

They separated into their houses to rotate round different classrooms completing different tasks led by each teacher. They designed book spines, made book marks, designed face masks and competed in a book themed quiz.

After this they returned to the P2/3 class where they set off on a scavenger hunt around the school to find letters then unscramble them to reveal a book characters name (Mr Chatterbox). They then played ‘guess who’s reading’ where they had to look at photos of the school staff reading and guess what photo belonged to what member of staff.

The pupils also took part in the book swap, playing their part towards Global Goal 12 (responsible consumption), whilst encouraging reading for pleasure.

The jam-packed day was finished off with our open afternoon where we loved having parents into the classroom to show them the types of literacy tasks we complete throughout the week. It was great to see parents joining in with the tasks too.
