The children’s tasks are on Teams as normal. This week we are focusing on equivalent fractions, Spanish landmark research, Lent-Fairtrade and literacy via world book day events.
I am posting this page on Friday as you will see there is so much choice! You may want to take your time this weekend deciding what activities you can take part in depending on your schedule. There are two main sites for author live events and both are available here. All events are free! Please enjoy World Book Week!
This week we will be celebrating books! All the literacy tasks are based on world book day which is celebrated this year on Thursday 4th March.
Celebrating World Book Day at home
This year’s World Book Day theme is ‘share a story’.
So why not share a story with the people in your home. You could even get our grandparents or other family members involved by asking them to read stories over video chat; setting aside a family reading time when everyone at home all read their own books or magazines; building a cosy reading den with cushions in a corner, or a sheet draped over chairs to make a tent; read a story or chapter and then act it out together. What are you going to do to celebrate book?
I will share different activities for you to do. Quite a few require you to register via Facebook or other social media outlets as you are too young to have an account with any of these you will need an adult to register on your behalf.
Live Reads from authors
Here is a link to some live events starting on Wednesday 3rd March. Each event lasts about 30 minutes.

Don’t worry if you miss your favourite author you can catch up via YouTube.
With our wonderful libraries closed we don’t have access to the knowledge and skills of the librarians to help guide you through all the wonderful books available. Here is a link to some reading suggestions. You can find a lot of them free via the world book day site or other audio/video sites. Click here to learn about lots of different types of books.
There are lots of competitions and prizes to be one on the site so go on have a look.

Here is another link for free live events. This is from scholastic. You are asked to register for the events you want and it is quite straightforward. The site takes you through step by step. You may wish to use your own email address or your child’s gw glow one.
World Book Day will feel a little different this year but we are planning a whole fun-filled week of brilliant FREE events to help support teachers, parents and children who want to celebrate reading and books, wherever they are.
Our week-long event programme is free to all Scholastic and Travelling Books schools – so if you’re registered with us then you and your pupils can enjoy an array of wonderful authors and illustrators hosting 30-minute events, including draw-a-longs, writing workshops and a 4pm Book Club as an after school treat.
Register for each event with the password clubsandfairs.
