<\/a><\/p>\nI 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!<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Celebrating World Book Day at home<\/b><\/p>\n
This year\u2019s World Book Day theme is \u2018share a story\u2019.<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
