World book day

Last week we celebrated World Book Day. World Book Day is a registered charity on a mission to give every child and young person a book of their own. It’s also a celebration of authors, illustrators, books and (most importantly) it’s a celebration of reading.

We spent our day doing a range of reading activities and throughly enjoyed it.

We took part in a quiz where we had to identify books based on a section of their front covers. Bonus points were given if we knew the author of the books.

We completed a booklet all about our favourite book in which we wrote diary entries, author interviews, summaries, character profiles, word searches and more.

We enjoyed taking part in a Where’s Wally scavenger hunt in our school corridors.

We worked in pairs and used drama skills to perform a scene from a book which the rest of the class had to guess.

Our most favourite part of the day was sharing a story with the nursery children. We visited the nursery in small groups and read a book to the nursery children. It was great!

Some of us dressed up as book characters whilst others brought in a prop or their favourite book. We got to show these off during our costume parade in the playground.

Have a look at some of the pictures from our day below. We hope your day was as fun as ours!📚📖🎉

Our School Library

Our class was lucky enough to be the first class in the school to visit our new school library. Thanks to Mrs Britton and the primary seven helpers who gave us a tour of the library, introduced all the different genres to us, gave us comfy cushions to sit on and let us listen to audio books on the iPad. We enjoyed our quiet (and very comfortable) reading session in our lovely new library.📚📖
