We’ve had so much fun celebrating World Book Day in our class today. Some of us came dressed as our favourite book characters. We had Willy Wonka, beautiful princesses, Catboy and Horrid Henry!

We started the day with the lovely Ms. Kenny coming to visit us. She read us the story of Cinderella with a twist – all the characters were penguins! It gave us lots to talk about.

Then we visited the relaxing reading area where P5C joined us to read some stories. It was really nice to spend time learning from the older children.

After that we went to the school’s Book Swap Shop where we all got to choose our very own story book to take home! We were very excited.

In class we had a speed read competition where children had to find the tricky word ‘the’ as many times as they could in 5 minutes. We also had a secret message competition. The girls who won were happy with their prizes!

It has been a fantastic day celebrating our love of reading, one of our favourite things to do in class.
