Today class 9 enjoyed completing a variety of world book day activities. They wrote their own stories during creative writing, drew pictures of characters from stories we have read and completed scavenger hunts using our class books. I really enjoyed it, hope the children did too

Class 8 have loved World Book Day. We’ve had some absolutely fantastic costumes of their favourite characters. They’ve loved completing all the different activities too.
We’ve had a great afternoon celebrating world book day. We started off with a book hunt and then created some artwork using quotes from some of our favourite books.
We also talked about why we love reading. Check out what some of the class had to say.

Some clear role models are revealing themselves with our year 3/4 crew and it’s great to hear so many wonderful things said about them all. Well done everyone 👍.
This week we have celebrated many things including our children who are HOWL point winners! Congratulations to Sidney for getting the yellow tshirt this week for working so hard in phonics and having consistently good HoWLs!
Well, Class 11 have loved World Book Day. We have had some absolutely fantastic costumes of our favourite characters and they’ve blown me away. Check them out here!
During Crew, we then went on a hunt around the class to put the pieces of the book covers together. We spoke about which book interested us the most and why. After this, we discussed our favourite books and characters, with lots of interesting discussions in pairs. This all resulted in a book review of our favourite books.
This afternoon, we looked at the purpose of a blurb and how to write one. The children then were given images or were allowed to create their own books, complete with blurb, front cover and title. Some of us loved it that much that we even started to write the first chapters of these books!
Finally, we announced the winner of our competition for the best costume, as chosen by Mrs Pearson. She chose Andrew, who dressed as Dobby from Harry Potter!
We’ve had a lovely day celebrating World Book Day today and I was super impressed with all of the costumes!
We really enjoyed focusing our day around the book ‘You’re called what?!’ and predicting what it might be about! Did you know there is a real animal called a Tasselled Wobbegong? After learning about some of the funny-named animals we researched our own!
Why not listen to the story here?
Well done Crew Ambler! We’ve got some fantastic costumes on display this year for World Book Day!
