Today we had lots of fun dressing up for World Book Day and sharing our love of reading. In our class we had Fantastic Mr Fox, an oompah-loompah and Jack with a beanstalk to name a few!
We enjoyed buddy reading, where an older child reads and shares books with a younger child. As always, the older children did a fantastic job with the younger ones showing not only great reading skills but a lot of understanding and patience.
This year was also our first 'book swap' - children were invited to bring in a book they no longer wanted or perhaps had a duplicate of and could swap it for a book someone else had brought in. Nursery and Reception joined Year 1 and 2 and everyone got to take home a new book to read.
Tomorrow we are going to be developing our writing as we talk more about the characters we came dressed as and think of some good words to describe them!
You all looked utterly brilliant today - excellent effort! It was lovely to see you sharing books with the other children too.
