World Book Day 2023
On Thursday 2nd March, we celebrated World Book Day. We brought in our homework which were our illustrations from a favourite book. The teacher displayed the illustrations and the we had to guess which book they came from. The teacher was very impressed with our creativity and drawing skills.
Next, we swapped books and were given a little time to read our new book.
We watched a programme on BBC Teach which celebrated World Book Day and this year, it had the theme of encouraging us to rewrite a familiar story but then add our own twist.

What a busy day today! We went on our Autumn walk through the fields and down to the river. What beautiful nature we have on our doorstep.

Some great ideas that we will put into practice throughout the year.
