The class dressed in a variety of characters, mainly from the novels recently read in class. They adopted the characters’ traits too, one deciding to be mute like Kester in The Wildness by Piers Torday (although this didn’t last for long) and another child brought in the trainers that had fallen on them from the sky just like the character Stanley Yelnats in Louis Sacher’s Holes. They engaged in the World Book Day ‘live lesson’, enjoyed reading Aquilla magazines in pairs and even created a sound track to a passage from Katherine Rundall’s novel Sky Steppers.

Class 1 have loved dressing up for World Book day and all looked amazing. We have enjoyed sharing, reading and talking about our favourite books. We also took part in a book scavenger hunt to explore all the books we have available to share in the classroom.
