What a fun day in school today as we all celebrate World Book Day!

We did so many fun things!  We came into class this morning to find a book at our desks.  We could keep and read the book or swap with a friend.  After ten minutes, we met with our P7 buddies and worked together to do a book hunt.  We had to find hidden bookmarks along the corridor and each book mark contained a letter.  We found 10 letters and then had to rearrange them and the letters spelt out a famous character from a story.  We figured out the letters spelt…

P A D D I N G T O N.

On return to class we listened to a Paddington story and drew a picture of him.

Throughout the day we also listened to an Authors Live story, coloured in a fairytale poster of lots of different characters and matched them to the correct fairytale, designed and coloured a bookmark, read with our P7 buddies, made up silly stories and did a book character listening activity!!!  We had the best day.

Thank you to the children who donated a book for the Book Swap!
