REMINDER: WORLD BOOK DAY

We celebrate World Book Day this Friday and this week we have lots of fun competitions for your child to take part in.

Get Caught Reading
This year we would like to see how you all ‘Get Caught Reading’. What’s the strangest, wackiest and most
unusual place you can think of reading in? Take a picture of yourself reading there! Our favourite pictures
in each year group will receive a prize! Please send photographs to class teachers by 4pm by Thursday 5th March on Class Dojo.

Design a book cover
Our final competition is for children to design a book cover of their choice. This exciting and creative
activity allows children to design their own book cover for a story they have written, or a dream book they
would love to read. They could even redesign a cover of a well-known story! Please bring these into school
by Thursday 5th March and winners in each year group with receive a prize.

Vegetable Book Character
To celebrate our love of reading for World Book Day, we are inviting children to take part in a creative project: "Decorate a Vegetable as a Book Character!" We are asking children to bring in a potato, carrot, or any other vegetable from home which you have transformed into their favourite character from a book.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Select a Book & Veg: Choose a favourite book character and a suitable vegetable.
2. Decorate: Use craft materials, felt scraps, glue, and markers at home to transform your veggie.
3. Bring to School: Please bring your vegetable creation into school on Thursday 5th March to be displayed in our school "Vegetable Garden" exhibit.
Winners in each year group will receive a prize.
